# Trigger a Mission out of schedule

Sometimes employees need to do something *now*, even if it's not scheduled yet. [**On Demand**](/missions/how-to-guides/configure-mission-settings/controlling-mission-execution.md#on-demand) functionality lets them trigger a Mission from the mobile app at any time.

## When to use On Demand?

**Example:** A restaurant's "Clean Coffee Machine" task normally appears every 4 hours. On a busy Sunday, the machine needs cleaning after just 2 hours. The barista opens the On Demand library and triggers the task immediately.

## How it works

1. Admin enables **On Demand** in the Mission's Settings
2. The Mission appears in the **On Demand library** on mobile
3. Any team member can open the library, select the Mission, and post it to their board
4. The mission appears immediately — no need to wait for the next scheduled time

### How to enable

1. Open a Mission → **Settings** → enable **On Demand**
2. Use **Available For** to restrict which teams or groups can see the Mission in the On Demand library

**Example:** A "Driver Safety" Media mission should only be available to the Drivers Team — not visible to office employees.

### How employees use it

On mobile: go to a Team or Personal Board → tap the **On Demand (+)** icon or use **Menu → Make Request** → enter Personal Code → select the Mission → it appears on the board immediately.

## Good to know

* On a **Personal Board**, On Demand missions go straight to Claimed (skipping Open)
* On a **Team Board**, admins can choose **Post** or **Post and Boost** (high priority)
* On Demand is available for all mission types **except Tickets**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://documentation.taskmaverick.com/missions/how-to-guides/trigger-a-mission-out-of-schedule.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
