Scheduled searches let you set up any Atlas query to run automatically on a recurring schedule. Instead of manually checking back on a topic, you set it up once and Atlas delivers a fresh, sourced update to your account.

​
What are scheduled searches for?

Scheduled searches are for staying informed on topics that evolve over time:
  • Conference prep — Track your committee topic week by week as it develops
  • Country monitoring — Follow a country’s political situation throughout your prep cycle
  • Conflict updates — Get weekly summaries of ongoing conflicts without needing to search manually
  • Election tracking — Follow a campaign as it unfolds, from early polling to results
  1. Run any search in Atlas as normal
  2. At the top of the result, click Schedule this search
  3. Choose your frequency: Daily, Weekly, or Bi-weekly
  4. Give it a name (optional — Atlas will auto-name it based on your query)
  5. Click Save
Your scheduled search is now active. Atlas will run it on the schedule you set and save each result to your Briefcase so you can review it when you’re ready.

​
Managing your scheduled searches

Go to Briefcase in the sidebar to see all your scheduled searches. From there you can:
  • View the latest result for each scheduled search
  • See previous results (history)
  • Pause or delete a scheduled search
  • Change the frequency

​
Tips for scheduled searches

The more specific your query, the more useful the recurring update. Instead of “Middle East news,” try “What are the latest developments in the Israel-Gaza ceasefire negotiations?” A specific question gives Atlas a clear scope to update on.
If you’re preparing for a MUN conference, schedule a weekly search for your committee topic from the day you get your assignment to the day of conference. You’ll arrive with a week-by-week understanding of how the issue has evolved.
If you know other delegates’ country assignments, schedule searches for their country’s position on your topic. Knowing how their country’s position is evolving helps you anticipate their arguments.
Scheduled searches are available on the Pro plan. Free users can set up one scheduled search. Upgrade to Pro to run unlimited scheduled searches.
