Scheduled audits re-run a full cloud audit of a website on a fixed cadence - **daily, weekly, or monthly** - with no manual trigger. Each run lands in the [dashboard](/dashboard) alongside your on-demand audits, so you can track score changes and catch regressions over time.

<Note>
  Scheduled audits are a **Pro** feature. On the free plan the schedule is shown as an upgrade prompt; new free websites are not scheduled.

## Setting a schedule

Schedules are managed from the dashboard, per website:

1. Open the website at `app.squirrelscan.com`.
2. Use the **Scheduled Audits** card on the website overview (or go to **Settings → Schedule**).
3. Pick a cadence - **Daily**, **Weekly**, **Monthly**, or **Disabled**.

On a Pro plan, new websites default to a **weekly** schedule. You can change the cadence or turn scheduling off at any time.

## How runs behave

- Each scheduled run is a normal cloud audit and **spends [credits](/cloud/credits)** like any other cloud audit. Stay within budget with the same per-audit spend controls.
- If an audit for the website is already running when the schedule fires, the scheduled run is skipped for that cycle.
- Results, score deltas, new issues, and notifications appear in the dashboard automatically.

## Audit source

Every audit records where it was triggered from. In the dashboard, audits and reports are tagged with a **source** badge:

- **CLI** - run from the `squirrel` command line
- **Cloud** - run on demand from the dashboard
- **Scheduled** - run automatically by a schedule
- **GitHub** - run from a GitHub pull request or push

This makes it easy to tell an automated weekly run apart from one you kicked off by hand.
