: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.

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
