Introduction

Auto-Schedule Rules let you control which rides get automatically booked for you. Think of them as your personal assistant that only accepts rides meeting your standards.

What Are Auto-Schedule Rules?

Your Weekly Schedule tells the bot when you want to work. Auto-Schedule Rules tell it which rides to accept during those times based on:

• 💰 Price (how much the ride pays)
• ⏱️ Hourly Rate (how much you earn per hour)
• 🕒 Duration (how long the ride takes)
• 📏 Distance (how far you'll drive)
• ⏰ Time of Day (morning, afternoon, evening, etc.)
• 📅 Day of Week (weekdays vs. weekends)

How It Works

Simple version: The bot checks every available ride against your rules. If a ride matches at least one of your rules, it gets booked automatically.

Key points:

• Have multiple rules? A ride only needs to match ONE of them to get booked
• Have multiple conditions in one rule? A ride must match ALL conditions in that rule
• No rules set up? Nothing gets auto-booked (you'll still get notifications, but you'll need to book manually)

Main Menu Overview

When you open Auto-Schedule Rules initially using /config → ⚡ Auto-Schedule Rules, you'll see:

After you create some rules, it will look like this:

The menu displays:

• Current Rules: List of all configured rules with their criteria and status (enabled/disabled)
• ➕ Add Rule: Create a new scheduling rule
• ❌ Remove Rule: Delete existing rules
• ⬅️ Main Menu: Return to the main configuration menu

When to Use Auto-Schedule Rules

Auto-Schedule Rules are useful when you want to:

• Filter by Profitability: Only schedule rides with minimum price or hourly rate
• Limit Distance: Avoid rides that are too far or too long
• Time-Based Filtering: Schedule different types of rides during different times of day
• Day-Based Filtering: Apply different criteria on weekdays vs. weekends
• Ride Type Filtering: Prefer specific ride types
• Complex Scenarios: Combine multiple criteria for sophisticated scheduling logic

Real-World Examples

Example 1: High-Value Rides Only

What you want: Only accept rides worth at least $30

How to set it up: Create one rule with Price >= 30.0

Example 2: Quick & Profitable Rides

What you want: Accept short rides that pay well per hour

How to set it up: Create one rule with Hourly Rate >= 45.0 and Duration <= 20 minutes

Example 3: Rush Hour Strategy

What you want: During rush hours (7-9 AM, 5-7 PM), accept rides over $35. Other times, only accept rides over $20.

How to set it up: Create two rules:

• Rule 1: time in [07:00-08:00, 17:00-18:00] and price>=35
• Rule 2: time in [00:00-07:00, 08:00-17:00, 18:00-00:00] and price>=20

Example 4: Weekend Strategy

What you want: On weekends, focus on longer rides with good hourly rates

How to set it up: Create one rule with Days IN [Saturday, Sunday], Duration >= 30 minutes, and Hourly Rate >= 40.0

Special Feature: Enforced Rules

Sometimes you want to catch exceptional rides even when you're not normally working. That's what Enforced rules are for.

What it does: An enforced rule will book rides even outside your normal schedule.

When to use it: For high-value rides you don't want to miss.

Example:

• Your normal schedule: Monday-Friday, 9 AM - 5 PM
• You create an enforced rule: Price >= 100.0 [Enforced]
• A $120 ride appears at 2:00 AM on Saturday
• Result: The bot books it, even though you're normally not working at that time

⚠️ Be careful: Only use enforced rules for truly exceptional rides (like $100+), or you might get booked at inconvenient times!

What You Can Filter By

Here's what you can use to create your rules:

What to Filter	What It Means	Examples
💰 Price	How much the ride pays	30.0, 45.50, 100.0
⏱️ Hourly Rate	How much you earn per hour on this ride	35.0, 50.25, 75.0
🕒 Duration	How long the ride takes (in minutes)	15, 30, 45
📏 Distance	How far you'll drive (in miles)	5.0, 10.5, 20.0
⏰ Time	What hour the ride starts (24-hour format)	07:00, 14:00, 22:00
📅 Days	What day(s) of the week	Monday, Saturday, Sunday

How to Compare Values

When creating rules, you can use these comparisons:

• For numbers (Price, Hourly Rate, Duration, Distance):

  • >= (greater than or equal)
  • <= (less than or equal)

• For lists (Time, Days):

  • IN (matches any of the selected values)
