# Scheduling, alerts & automation

## Scheduled scans

Set a project to scan on a recurring schedule (e.g. weekly) so your compliance status stays current without anyone remembering to click *Run scan*.
## Notifications

- The person who started a scan is notified when it **finishes** (in-app tray + optional email).
- If a new scan has **more critical or serious issues** than the previous one, workspace admins get a **regression alert** — so a drop in accessibility never ships silently.

## API, MCP & Orchestration

Queue scans and read results through the **REST API** (scope `app:accessibility`) and the **MCP tools**. Every completed scan and every detected regression fires a **webhook** and an **Orchestration trigger** — for example, route a new accessibility issue straight into your Issues app, or post a summary to chat.
