Schedule recurring scans

Run duplicate detection automatically on a daily, weekly, or monthly cadence.


Instead of starting scans by hand, you can have DeDupe scan on a recurring schedule. Find this under Settings → Scan schedules (available to operators and admins).

Create a schedule

  1. Click New Schedule (or Create First Schedule if you have none yet).
  2. Choose the Object Type — Companies or People.
  3. Choose a Frequency — Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.
    • Weekly adds a Day of Week picker.
    • Monthly adds a Day of Month picker (1–31).
  4. Set the Time of Day. All times are in UTC.
  5. Click Create Schedule.

DeDupe shows the schedule in plain language, for example "Every Monday at 09:00 UTC" or "1st of each month at 09:00 UTC."

Manage schedules

Each schedule card shows its status (Active / Paused), the last run result, the next run time, and a success count. You can:

  • Toggle a schedule on or off with the switch.
  • Edit it (the pencil icon) — note the object type is fixed once created.
  • Delete it (the trash icon).

What a scheduled scan does

Each run refreshes data from Attio, runs all enabled matching strategies, and stores any new duplicate pairs in your queue. Schedules are ideal for keeping a periodically-imported list clean.

Scheduled scans vs live monitoring

  • Scheduled scans re-check the whole object type on a cadence you set — good for batch imports.
  • Live monitoring reacts the moment a record changes in Attio — good for catching duplicates as they're created.

Many teams use both.
