Trigger Scheduled Task Asynchronously
Trigger Scheduled Task Asynchronously is a paid API for AI agents from scheduler.withzero.xyz, paid per call via MPP, metered — billed by usage, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-11).
Asynchronously triggers a scheduled task to run within ~1 minute by pulling its next_run_at time to now, returning immediately without waiting for the result.

How this service works
Trigger a run asynchronously (non-blocking): pulls next_run_at to now; the dispatch tick runs it within ~1 min. Returns immediately. No-op on non-active tasks. Use POST /tasks/:id/runs for a synchronous run. 📖 Full guide: https://scheduler.withzero.xyz/llms.txt
Output
Returns a JSON object with the task_id (UUID), a status string, the updated next_run_at timestamp (or null), and an enqueued boolean — true if the task was active and its run was successfully pulled forward, false if the task was not active and this was a no-op.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Go ahead and trigger task 3f2a1b4c-1234-5678-abcd-ef0123456789 to run now — I don't need to wait for the result, just kick it off asynchronously.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://scheduler.withzero.xyz/api/v1/tasks/{id}/triggerWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you want to manually trigger a scheduled task to execute soon (within ~1 minute) but do not need to wait for the result. Prefer this over POST /tasks/:id/runs when the task is long-running or when you want a fire-and-forget pattern. Avoid if you need synchronous confirmation that the run completed — use the synchronous runs endpoint instead.
Side effects
- Task ID not found — 404 response if the given task UUID does not exist
- Task not active — returns 200 with enqueued: false as a safe no-op rather than an error
- Invalid UUID format — 400 or validation error if the task ID path parameter is malformed
- Authorization failure — 401/403 if the caller does not own or have permission for the task
- Server error — 500 if the dispatch system is unavailable
