A routine is a Grok Bot task that runs on a schedule or when something happens, without you asking each time. My repair shop runs on a handful of them: a morning status report, a daily repair status check, appointment reminders and a nightly content session. Here are 26 routine recipes, grouped by what they do, each ready to paste. Swap the [brackets] for your details.

How To Read A Recipe

Each recipe has a schedule (when it runs), a task (what it does) and a rule for output (what it hands back, and when to stay quiet). Every one that touches customers, money or your website ends with an approval step. Keep that step.

Morning And Daily

1. The Morning Brief

Every weekday at 7 AM, send me one message: today's appointments, emails needing a reply (with drafts), anything my other bots finished overnight, and up to three yes/no questions. Under 200 words.

2. Quote Data Refresh

Daily at 8 AM, update [quote tool or page] from our central price list. If any price changed, list old and new. Otherwise, say nothing.

3. Yesterday's Orders

Each morning, list yesterday's orders that haven't shipped and any customer messages about shipping. Draft replies for the messages and hold them for me.

4. End-Of-Day Wrap

At 6 PM on weekdays, list anything I promised a customer today that isn't done yet, and what's first on tomorrow's calendar.

5. Appointment Reminders

Each evening, draft a reminder for each of tomorrow's appointments with the time and our booking link for rescheduling. Wait for my approval before sending.

Weekly

6. Listing Accuracy Check

Mondays at 9 AM, compare our hours, address and booking link across the website and our online listings. Report any mismatch with where to fix it.

7. Review Roundup

Mondays, collect last week's new public reviews of our business. Draft a reply to each and highlight any under 4 stars. Hold replies for approval.

8. Content Plan

Sundays, suggest seven post ideas for the coming week based on customer questions in email, reviews and search trends. Rank them by how much they'd help customers.

9. Link Sweep

Every Saturday night, test every link on [website]. List broken ones with the page they're on and a suggested fix.

10. Pickup Reminders

Fridays, list finished jobs waiting more than [days] for pickup and draft a friendly reminder for each. Wait for approval.

11. Week In Numbers

Fridays at 5 PM, compare this week's bookings, orders and top items with last week, using only real data from [sources]. Five bullets.

12. Bot Team Check-In

Mondays, list what each of my bots finished last week, which routines ran with no changes and anything a bot is stuck on.

Monthly And Quarterly

13. Typed-Price Audit

On the 1st, scan the website for prices typed into pages rather than pulled from our price list. List each with its page link.

14. Old Post Refresh

On the 15th, pick the five oldest posts. Fix outdated details, repeated lines and broken links, and send the changes to the website bot.

15. Deadline Lookahead

On the 1st, list every business deadline in the next 60 days from [calendar or checklist], soonest first.

16. Usage Review

On the 1st, show which bots and routines did the most work last month and suggest up to five ways to lighten usage. Wait for my yes.

17. Quarterly Goals Check

On the first Monday of each quarter, compare our goals in [doc] with what actually happened, and suggest three goals for the next quarter.

Triggered By Events

18. New Booking

When a new appointment appears on my calendar, check for a matching customer email and add a note to the event with anything I should know.

19. Job Completed

When I mark a job done, draft a pickup message with a short summary and our review link. Wait for approval.

20. Page Changed

Whenever the website bot publishes a change, open the page on a phone-sized screen and report anything broken.

21. Low Stock

When any item falls below [number] units, tell me with last month's sales for that item and a draft reorder note.

22. Urgent Email

When an email arrives with words like "urgent," "refund" or "broken," send me a one-line alert right away, even during quiet hours.

Personal Life

23. Sunday Week Preview

Sundays at 6 PM, preview my family's week: appointments, school events, birthdays and anything to prepare.

24. Bills Reminder

On the 1st and 15th, list bills due in the next two weeks. Don't pay anything.

25. Workout Plan

Sundays, plan the week's workouts around my calendar and add them as holds.

26. Weekly Meal Plan

Saturdays, plan five dinners and turn them into a grocery list grouped by store section.

How To Set Up A Routine

1. Open the bot that owns the job. Routines belong to the bot whose work they are.
2. Paste the recipe and say "make this a routine." The bot will confirm the schedule and what it will do.
3. Check the time zone. A routine set for 7 AM should mean your 7 AM.
4. Run it once by hand to see the output before trusting the schedule.
5. After a week, ask whether you acted on each result. Keep, slow down or pause.

Fixing A Routine That Misbehaves

It Talks Too Much

Shorten this routine's output to five bullets or fewer, and send nothing when nothing changed.

It Runs At The Wrong Time

Move this routine to [time] [time zone] and confirm the next run time.

It Repeats Another Bot's Work

Check whether any other bot runs a similar routine. If so, tell me which to keep and pause the other only after I agree.

It Misses Things

Last run, you missed [example]. Add a check for that and show me the updated routine.

Chaining Routines Across Bots

My best routines feed each other. The content bot's nightly session hands drafts to the website bot. The website bot publishes after approval and a page check runs. The coordinator's morning brief then tells me what went live. No step needs me except the approval.

When your nightly routine finishes, save the results to [shared folder] and tell [next bot] the path. Don't wait for a reply.

Rules That Make Routines Behave

• Stay quiet when nothing changed. Add "If nothing changed, say nothing" to monitors.
• Pick the slowest schedule that works. Weekly beats daily for anything customers won't feel today.
• One owner per job. Don't let two bots run the same check.
• Add an end date to project routines. "Run until [date], then pause."
• Keep approvals. Anything sent, published or paid waits for you.

Why This Matters To Me

Routines are what let a one-person shop feel bigger than it is. I work alone from a home-based shop by appointment, and I can't check prices, reminders and reviews every day by hand while also doing repairs. Routines do those checks on schedule and tell me only what changed. That's how my prices stay current, booking stays easy and new content keeps going up while I'm at the bench. Pick the few recipes your customers would feel first and add others only when you'll actually read the results.

Where To Start

If you only set up three, pick the morning brief, appointment reminders and the job-completed review request. Those are the ones customers feel first. In my shop, combining them with a single booking link means customers can Book An Appointment, get reminded and get asked for feedback without me typing a word until I approve.
