Preparing for scheduled runs
When preparing yourself to run your scheduled automations there are only a few things to check for to help guarantee the success of your automations. If TaskMagic is automatically running your automation for you, it will expect that you have the app open on your computer. To make sure you remain connected to the TaskMagic services you should make sure your computer remains on, awake and connected to the internet. Here are a few guides to help you prepare for that
