# Scheduled Rules Schedules Rules are similar to Rules in that they have a condition and actions that can be triggered. However, unlike normal rules, scheduled rules are also only executed after a specified event has happened and / or some time has passed. Scheduled rules can e.g. be used to: * Send a reminder after three days of inactivity * Create a "Check Passport" lifecycle case exactly one year after a person has been created * Perform a worldcheck every day for every case --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
