Hello, I have 1 scenario that runs every 15 minutes, from 09:00 - 17:00 on weekdays. On weekends, I want it to run every 2 hours from 10:00 - 17:00. am I able to achieve this in a single scenario?
If not, would I need to duplicate the scenario giving me 2 identical scenarios, one for weekdays & 1 for weekends?
Any advice appreciated.
Welcome to the Make community!
You can still use a single scenario, but you’ll need to use the Make API (only with paid subscription) via the Make integration “Make an API call” module, to amend/update the scenario’s “interval” only on the last 15 mins of Friday and last 2 hours on Sunday (use a filter).
I have provided examples of how to use the Make “Make an API call” module to update a scenario’s scheduling elsewhere on the forum if you want to go down this route. I think it’s in one of the threads I started. View my profile to find this thread.
Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Welcome @Gary_Brett;
I’ve run into similar challenges since Advanced settings on Regular Interval scheduling only lets you affect times, days, dates, and months for when to run.
My alternative way to approach this is to convert the central scenario to fire on demand or by a webhook using Make’s Run Scenario or HTTP Request modules respectively.
Then use a simple controller scenario for the desired frequencies during weekdays and weekends. The central controller scenario is very helpful when you sequence scenario operations as in sourcing data, merging data, and then pushing out data.
