Automations — sometimes called "crons" behind the scenes — are scheduled background jobs: tasks that run on their own, without anyone clicking a button. Sprwt runs dozens of these to keep your store moving, including subscription renewals, closing ordering windows on schedule, reminder emails, abandoned-cart recovery, marketing sends, bank-transaction syncing, delivery-status updates, and even AI-generated blog posts.

There is no admin page to view, pause, or manually trigger these automations. They run on a schedule that Sprwt's own infrastructure controls, not something you set in your Settings. Many of them do use Client Config settings — like cutoff days, delay minutes, or retention windows — to fine-tune when and how they act once triggered, but the underlying schedule itself is managed by Sprwt.

A few of these same background processes are actually webhooks: messages that outside services like Twilio (texting) or Shippo (shipping) send to Sprwt the moment something changes on their end, rather than jobs that run on a fixed timer.
