The Every Week (Cron) trigger allows you to schedule a workflow to run at a specific time on the specified days of the week. This trigger provides flexibility in scheduling workflows that need to be executed on a weekly basis, such as every Monday and Wednesday, or any other combination of weekdays.
This input field allows you to select the day(s) of the week when you want your workflow to be triggered. You can choose one or multiple weekdays from the available options (Monday to Sunday).
In this field, you can specify the time of day when the workflow should be executed on the selected weekday(s). The options are presented in a dropdown menu.
Choose the appropriate time zone for your scheduled trigger. The available time zones are listed, including popular
options like UTC
, America/New_York
, Europe/London
, Asia/Shanghai
, and others.
This trigger does not have any specific outputs since its purpose is to initiate the execution of a workflow at the scheduled time and day(s) of the week. The outputs will depend on the workflow itself and the actions it performs.
The Every Week (Cron) trigger can be useful in various scenarios where you need to automate recurring weekly tasks or processes. Here are some potential use cases:
-
Marketing Campaigns: Automate the deployment of weekly marketing campaigns, such as email newsletters or social media promotions, on predetermined weekdays to reach your target audience at optimal times.
-
Content Publishing: Set up a workflow to publish new blog posts, articles, or podcasts on specific weekdays, maintaining a consistent content schedule for your audience.
