}Trigger a scheduled task right away without waiting for its next cron match. Useful for testing a
task or running it on demand. The run is executed asynchronously. Find it with
List Tasks filtered by
agent_id.
A paused task (enabled: false) cannot be run this way. The call returns {"detail": "job not found"}. Resume it with Update Scheduled Task first.
If the agent’s status is
INACTIVE, this call still answers {"status": "running"}, but nothing runs and no task appears. The response only confirms that the fire was queued. Check the agent’s status with Get Agent first; set it to ACTIVE with Update Agent before you run the task.Example Request
curl -X POST -H "x-api-key: <your-api-key>" \
"https://api.xpander.ai/v1/agents/<agent-id>/scheduled-tasks/<task-id>/run"
Example Response
{
"id": "<task-id>",
"status": "running"
}
