# Scheduled tasks

> Automate LiveOps routines with PlayFab Scheduled Tasks that update title data, run CloudScript, adjust virtual currencies, or re-engage lapsed players.

Scheduled tasks are a way to automate common game operation routines. Some examples are:

* Updating [Title Data](https://docs.xbox.com/services/playfab/live-service-management/game-configuration/titledata.md) to reflect changes for a current event.
* Injecting virtual currencies into the game economy daily.
* Modifying prices in a store according to the time of day.
* Reaching out to lapsed players and encouraging them to re-engage.

Automated tasks can take predefined actions or execute [CloudScript](https://docs.xbox.com/services/playfab/live-service-management/service-gateway/automation/cloudscript.md), which enables any custom server-side functionality you want to implement.
