# Remote Triggers
Create and manage remote agent triggers that execute on schedules and survive session exit.
## When to Use
- **Persistent schedules**: Tasks that must run even after the session ends
- **Cross-session automation**: Recurring code reviews, automated deploys, health checks
- **Scheduled agents**: Run specific prompts on cron schedules in the background
- **Team automation**: Set up shared triggers that benefit the whole team
## How It Differs from CronCreate
| Feature | CronCreate | RemoteTrigger |
|---------|-----------|---------------|
| Survives session exit | No (session-only, in-memory) | Yes (server-side routine) |
| Runs while REPL idle | Yes | Yes (server-side) |
| Lifetime | Recurring jobs auto-expire after 7 days | No documented expiry; removed only at https://claude.ai/code/routines |
| Minimum interval | Any (5-field cron, per-minute) | **1 hour** — `*/30 * * * *` is rejected |
| Timezone | User's local time | **UTC** |
| Runs where | The user's local session | Isolated cloud session with its own git checkout — no local files, services, or env vars |
| Setup complexity | Low | Medium (needs `environment_id` + a full `job_config`) |
| Requires auth | No | Yes — OAuth injected in-process by the tool, never exposed |
**Rule of thumb**: Use CronCreate for in-session monitoring. Use RemoteTrigger for anything that must persist. For sub-hourly or event-driven watching, use neither — see `Monitor` in the `scheduled-tasks` skill.
