Description

When you create a schedule with a few minutes cadence and it is long running, you get yourself with a lot of chats from that.
It would be nice to be able either to make it silent until the last iteration when the goal is achieved or to keep all messages in one chat.

For example I had an automation to track progress of a process which lasted 5 hours, and not knowing how long it will take I had it scheduled at 5 minutes, so 5 hours later, I had 60 new chats in the workspace.

Research direction

Start by locating the scheduled-task automation flow and the code that creates chats and messages for each iteration. Review how automation completion is detected, then clarify whether the intended result is suppressing intermediate messages or grouping all iterations into one chat; done means long-running schedules no longer create an excessive number of separate chats.
