:question: :question: :question:

Is it possible to set up my scenario to run every 30 minutes from 9:00 to 17:00 on Mondays and Tuesdays?
And will the first run be at 9:00 or at 9:30?

Sure it’s possible!

You just need to start your scenario with a polling trigger and do an easy setup in advanced scheduling.


:one: Click the clock on your trigger module in order to set your scheduling.

:two: Click the Advanced scheduling option.

:four: To answer the last part of the question - if you schedule your scenario to run like this, the first run will be at 9:00.

Just a quick heads up for anyone else who’s trying to do this - this doesn’t seem to work now. Your scenario will be scheduled based on the time when you last edited the scheduling. So in order to make the scenario run on the hour, you’d need to save the scenario on the hour too :sweat_smile:

Just as @alexs said, this doesn’t work anymore.
Maybe @samliew would know a way to do this today?

The scheduling should still work, you’ll just need to switch on the schedule at:

  • exactly at the start of the hour, or
  • when it is not scheduled to run (outside of the scheduled hours)

otherwise the first day will be off

I have set a module to trigger when an issue in Jira is created in a specific interval lets say 9pm to 2am the module starts watching for issues but it is getting issues outside my interval(i.e 8pm) i just want it to get issues created in that interval.
How can I achieve this ?

Welcome to the Make community!

Could you please create a separate topic for this?

While it’s tempting to continue an existing thread, a more effective approach would be to start a new topic. It helps other community users to respond to your query, and keeps our space organised for everyone. If you start a new conversation you are also more likely to get help from other users. You can refer others back to a related topic by including that link in your question. Thank you for understanding and keeping our community neat and tidy.

The “New Topic” link can be found in the top-right of the header:
