I don't know what "scheduled tasks" is. Care to elaborate?

You can invoke the syncevolution as a cron job, but it is a bit involved
to set up the right environment and not recommended on a desktop
(Evolution gets unhappy when processes outside of the current
interactive session access Evolution data).
I suggest that you look at the "autoSync" feature instead:
$ syncevolution --help --sync-property ?
...
autoSync:
Controls automatic synchronization. Currently,
automatic synchronization is done by running
a synchronization at regular intervals. This
may drain the battery, in particular when
using Bluetooth!
Because a peer might be reachable via different
transports at some point, this option provides
detailed control over which transports may
be used for automatic synchronization:
0 - don't do auto sync
1 - do automatic sync, using whatever transport
is available
http - only via HTTP transport
obex-bt - only via Bluetooth transport
http,obex-bt - pick one of these
Sync intervals can be enabled via additional properties.
In the GTK sync-ui there is a checkmark which enables this option with
default values. Checking that it really is enabled and works is
currently a bit unintuitive. After a reboot and logging it,
syncevo-dbus-server should be running and *stay* running. Eventually,
after roughly 35 minutes (default autoSyncDelay 5m + autoSyncInterval
30m) it should do a sync in the background.
