# Create / edit a routine

A repeat — { kind: weekly, times: ["08:00"], days: [1..5] } or { kind: every, hours: N } in each account's own timezone — that runs a sequence of steps for the chosen accounts / tags. Steps are like sequences_run but the account field is filled in per account (only per-account, non-dangerous operations, waits and event waits). Slots outside an account's run hours are skipped when it follows its schedule. Updating needs expectedRevision.
