Run one scenario twice per day at different times

:bullseye: What is your goal?

I want to run the same Make scenario every day, but twice per day at two different fixed times (for example 10:00 and 16:00).
The scenario processes Google Business Profile reviews and posts automated replies.

:thinking: What is the problem & what have you tried?

In the Schedule settings, Make only allows one execution time per day.

I considered:

  • Duplicating the scenario and setting a different schedule time for each one
  • Running the scenario every hour and filtering by time (using formatDate(now; “HH”))
  • Using a webhook or “Run another scenario” approach

I would like to know:

  • What is the recommended / best practice approach in Make?
  • Is duplicating the scenario the correct solution, or is there a cleaner native way to schedule multiple daily runs?

My priority is reliability and maintainability in a production environment.

I usually accomplish that like this:

Set the interval to your exeution times and set the interval to be the difference between them.

I found this; otherwise, it doesn’t use up any credit and it should trigger at the desired time.

you can add item and add a second hour

Welcome to the Make community!

Good, but you should leave at least one minute gap between from/to just in case it doesn’t start in the first minute due to prioritisation of scenarios from higher tier paid plans.
