How to Schedule Automated Steam Game Tasks

Task Scheduling lets you chain SGI's automation features together so one starts automatically when the previous one finishes. For example, you can have Card Farming hand off to Achievement Unlocker, or Achievement Unlocker hand off to Automatic Idler — all without any manual intervention.

Tasks run one at a time, in sequence. When the first task finishes, the next one begins automatically.

Setting Up Task Scheduling

Click Settings in the sidebar

Go to the Card Farming tab and enable the Schedule Next Task option, then select which feature should start when Card Farming completes

Go to the Achievement Unlocker tab and enable the Schedule Next Task option, then select which feature should start when Achievement Unlocker completes

Each feature has its own Schedule Next Task setting — configure whichever ones you want in the chain. You don't need to configure both unless you're chaining all three features together.
