Set Up a Scheduled Enrichment Run
This tutorial shows how to configure a TexAu table to run automatically on a recurring schedule. Use this to keep a contact list enriched continuously without manual effort.
Before you begin
- You need a table already set up with data source and action columns. If you do not have one yet, build it first. See Find and Enrich Leads from LinkedIn for a starting template.
- Your plan must include Scheduled Jobs. Check Settings > Billing to confirm.
How Scheduled Jobs work
A Scheduled Job triggers your table on a repeating cadence. When the job fires:
- TexAu re-runs the configured columns on the rows you specify.
- You choose whether to re-run all rows, only new rows, or only rows added since the last run.
- Results update in place for existing rows that are re-run.
Step 1: Configure your table for scheduling
Before setting a schedule, make sure your table is configured correctly:
- Open your table.
- Confirm all Action Columns are mapped to the right input columns.
- Confirm the table runs successfully by clicking Run All Rows once manually.
- Fix any errors before setting up the schedule.
Step 2: Create a Scheduled Job
- Click the Schedule icon in the table toolbar (looks like a clock).
- Click Create Schedule.
Step 3: Configure the schedule
- Set the Frequency:
- Hourly - for near-real-time feeds
- Daily - for daily lead refreshes
- Weekly - for weekly list maintenance
- Monthly - for CRM hygiene runs
- Set the Start Time - the time of day to run (in your account timezone).
- Set the Start Date - the first date the schedule should fire.
Step 4: Choose which rows to run
- Under Rows to Run, select one option:
- All rows - re-runs every row in the table each time
- New rows only - runs only rows added since the last scheduled run
- Empty rows only - runs only rows where the output columns are still empty
For a list that grows over time (e.g. a CRM feed), select New rows only. This prevents re-spending credits on rows already enriched.
For a periodic refresh of an existing list, select All rows.
Step 5: Save the schedule
- Review the schedule summary.
- Click Save Schedule.
- The schedule appears in the Scheduled Jobs panel with a Next Run time.
Monitor a scheduled run
- Click Scheduled Jobs in the left sidebar (or open the table and click the clock icon).
- Find your job in the list.
- Click the job to see:
- Last Run - when it last executed
- Next Run - when it will run again
- Last Run Status - success, partial failure, or error
- Rows processed - how many rows ran in the last execution
Pause or cancel a schedule
To pause temporarily:
- Open the Scheduled Jobs panel.
- Find your job.
- Click Pause. The next run will not fire until you resume.
To cancel permanently:
- Open the Scheduled Jobs panel.
- Find your job.
- Click Delete Schedule.
Deleting the schedule does not delete the table or its data. It only removes the automation.
Troubleshooting
The scheduled job fired but no rows were processed. Check the Rows to Run setting. If you selected New rows only and no new rows were added since the last run, the job ran with nothing to process. This is expected behavior, not an error.
The scheduled job shows a partial failure status. Some rows may have errored while others completed. Open the table and filter by rows where the output column shows an error. Fix the data issue on those rows and re-run them manually.
I set a schedule but the job never fires. Check that your plan supports Scheduled Jobs. Free plan accounts may not have access. Also verify the schedule timezone matches your expectation - TexAu uses the timezone set in Settings > Profile.
Credits ran out mid-schedule and the job stopped. TexAu pauses the run when your credit balance reaches zero. Top up your credits in Settings > Billing and re-run the failed rows manually.
