title: Setting Up Delivery | 0ct
description: Get your AI task results delivered right where you need them
---

When your AI tasks complete, you want the results somewhere useful. Delivery settings control where 0ct sends your task outputs.

## Delivery Options

### Currently Available

**Email** - Receive formatted results in your inbox

### Coming Soon

**Webhook** - Send results to any URL\
**Slack** - Post directly to channels\
**SMS** - Get text message notifications

## Email Delivery

Email is the primary way to receive task results. It works for any task and delivers immediately when the task completes.

### Setting Up Email

1. Open or create a task
2. Find the **Delivery** section
3. Enter email addresses (comma-separated for multiple)
4. Optionally customize the subject line
5. Save the task

### What You Receive

Each email includes:

- **Subject**: Task name and date
- **Body**: The full AI-generated output
- **Footer**: Link to view in 0ct, task details

### Email Formatting

Results are formatted for readability:

- Headers and sections are styled
- Lists display as bullets
- Code blocks are preserved
- Links are clickable

### Multiple Recipients

Add as many recipients as needed:

- `team@company.com` - Send to a group
- `me@email.com, colleague@email.com` - Multiple individuals
- Mix of personal and team addresses

### Tips for Email Delivery

**Use descriptive subjects:** Set a custom subject like “Weekly Sales Report - date” instead of the generic task name.

**Check spam folders:** Add `notifications@0ct.com` to your contacts to ensure delivery.

**Mobile-friendly:** Results are formatted to read well on phones too.

## Understanding Run Results

Whether delivered by email or viewed in the app, here’s what each run contains:

### Status

- **Completed** - Ran successfully, results available
- **Failed** - Something went wrong (see error details)
- **Running** - Currently executing

### Output

The AI-generated content. This is what gets delivered.

### Timing

- When the run started
- When it completed
- Total duration

### Usage

- Tokens used (AI processing units)
- Cost for this run

## Viewing Past Results

Don’t rely only on email—results are always saved in 0ct.

### In the Runs Page

1. Click **Runs** in the sidebar
2. See all completed runs across tasks
3. Click any run for full details

### In a Task

1. Open the task
2. Scroll to **Run History**
3. Click any run to expand

## Troubleshooting Delivery

### ”I didn’t receive the email”

1. **Check spam/junk folders** - Add our sender to contacts
2. **Verify the email address** - Typos happen!
3. **Check the run status** - If it failed, no email is sent
4. **View in-app** - Results are always in the Runs page

### ”Email looks weird”

Some email clients render differently. If formatting is off:

- Try viewing in a different email client
- View the original in 0ct’s Runs page
- Plain text option coming soon

### ”I want results in real-time”

Email is sent immediately on completion, but:

- Processing takes 30-60 seconds typically
- Some tasks with many sources take longer
- Check the Runs page for live status

## Best Practices

### Separate Channels for Different Tasks

- Morning briefings → Personal email
- Team reports → Team distribution list
- Critical alerts → Multiple recipients + SMS (coming soon)

### Don’t Over-Notify

Running hourly tasks? Consider:

- Daily summary instead of hourly emails
- Webhook to aggregate (coming soon)
- View in-app when needed

### Review Before Sharing

For tasks that deliver to your team:

1. Run it yourself first
2. Review the output quality
3. Then add team recipients

## Future: Webhook Delivery

Soon you’ll be able to send results to any URL:

```
{
  "event": "task.completed",
  "task": {
    "name": "Daily Report"
  },
  "output": "Today's key findings..."
}
```

Perfect for:

- Sending to Slack via incoming webhooks
- Triggering Zapier automations
- Posting to custom dashboards
- Integrating with other tools

## Future: SMS Notifications

Quick text alerts for time-sensitive results:

- Urgent monitoring alerts
- Brief status updates
- “Task completed” pings

Best for short, actionable notifications rather than full reports.
