Cronly
#494 most-usedMonitor every scheduled task, catch every failure
Cronly is a cloud-based cron job monitoring platform that tracks scheduled tasks across your entire tech stack. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can register new job monitors, ping execution endpoints to confirm jobs are running, retrieve failure histories and alert on missed heartbeats, update monitor configurations when schedules change, and route incident notifications to the right team — all without anyone staring at server logs.
Eliminates manual work. Agents eliminate the manual cycle of checking cron logs, discovering silent failures late, manually auditing monitor registries, and assembling reliability reports by hand.
What your Cronly agent runs on autopilot
A week of scheduled jobs your Actionist agent will execute on your behalf.
Cronly × every other app you use
End-to-end automations that span multiple apps — each one a real business outcome.
Cron job failure routed to the right team instantly
When a cron job misses its expected ping window, the agent fetches the monitor's details and ping history, looks up the matching runbook in Notion, and posts a formatted incident message to the team's Slack channel with the failure context and fix steps — all within about a minute of the missed heartbeat.
Time saved for your team — every week, on autopilot

What your team gets back — two angles: what you stop doing manually, and what that's worth.

What your agent runs for you
- Sales30 min / weekSilent CRM sync failures missed until data is stale
Sales reps don't know the nightly CRM sync failed until they notice contacts missing update data mid-call — often hours after the cron job silently failed.
Sales Agent0 minAgent flags CRM sync failures before the Monday standupThe Sales Agent checks all CRM automation monitors at 8 AM Monday and posts any failures to #sales-ops before the team's first call — reps know whether their data is fresh before picking up the phone.
- Marketing45 min / weekCampaign email failures discovered from complaint calls
The email send job failing silently is only discovered when customers call to ask why they didn't receive the campaign — by which time the window for recovery is closed.
Marketing Agent0 minAgent confirms email sends before the team checks resultsThe Marketing Agent verifies the scheduled send job ran overnight before the team starts reviewing open rates — if the job failed, the alert fires before anyone tries to interpret incomplete engagement data.
- Customer Support40 min / weekSLA breaches missed when escalation job fails silently
When the ticket escalation cron fails without alerting anyone, overdue tickets sit past SLA thresholds for hours before a manager notices during a manual queue check.
Customer Support Agent0 minAgent confirms escalation job is live before ticket volume peaksThe Support Agent checks the SLA breach detection monitor at 8:30 AM Monday — if the escalation job is down, the support manager is alerted before the morning ticket rush begins.
- Human Resources25 min / weekOffboarded staff remain alert contacts on critical monitors
When an employee leaves, their email stays configured as a Cronly alert contact until someone manually audits the system — alerts for critical jobs keep routing to an inactive inbox.
Human Resources Agent0 minAgent audits alert contacts weekly and flags departed staffEvery Thursday the HR Agent cross-references Cronly alert contacts against the employee roster — any contact belonging to a former employee is flagged to operations before their system access is removed.
- Finance35 min / weekInvoice generation failures found at billing query time
The automated invoicing cron failing silently is only discovered when a customer queries a missing invoice — by which time several billing cycles may have been affected.
Finance Agent0 minAgent confirms invoice job health before weekly billing beginsThe Finance Agent checks the invoice generation monitor at 7:30 AM Monday — if the job has failed, the finance director is alerted in time to trigger manual invoice generation before any billing delay occurs.
- Operations60 min / weekUnmonitored cron jobs accumulate until an audit finds gaps
New cron jobs are deployed without corresponding monitors for weeks or months until a quarterly infrastructure audit reveals the monitoring gap — any failure in that window is invisible.
Operations Agent0 minAgent registers monitors on deploy and reconciles the registry weeklyThe Operations Agent auto-registers new monitors when cron jobs are deployed and reconciles the job schedule against the monitor list every Wednesday — monitoring gaps are caught within days, not quarters.
- Legal50 min / weekCompliance job failures undocumented until audit preparation
Missed data-retention cron jobs or failed regulatory report runs are only discovered during audit preparation — the team then scrambles to reconstruct a timeline of what failed and when.
Legal Agent0 minAgent logs all compliance job failures with timestamps every weekEvery Friday the Legal Agent exports the week's compliance monitor failures to the evidence sheet — failure timestamps and remediation confirmations are captured automatically, so auditors get a complete, accurate trail.

How to plug Cronly into Actionist
Pick the connection method that suits your environment.
Connect Actionist to Cronly using your API key. Generate a key in your Cronly account settings and paste it here — your agents can then create monitors, send pings, retrieve health status, and manage alert contacts.
Log in to cronly.app and navigate to Account Settings. Find the API section and generate a new API key. Copy it immediately — it will not be shown again.
In Actionist, open the Apps tab, find Cronly, and paste the API key into the API Key field. Click Save.
Actionist will make a read-only call to list your monitors to confirm the key is valid. Once the connection is confirmed, your agents can start managing cron jobs.
