🤖 What are the most useful functions in Make and some examples of using them?

Here’s a fun one that I was just asked by a client…

How do I run a scenario every other Thursday?

I had to give it some thought, but between the formatDate function that @loic.wiseflow discussed and a filter this can easily be done.

I started with a Compose String module and set the scheduling to run every Thursday:

Use the formatDate function to get the week number:

Then created 5 filters to allow even numbered weeks through:

1. If week ends in 2 OR
2. If week ends in 4 OR
3. If week ends in 6 OR
4. If week ends in 8 OR (not shown in screenshot)
5. If week ends in 0 (not shown in screenshot)
