Build the schedule

Chief: Scheduling Actions (days, dates, times) — Build the schedule
When an Action’s Trigger Type is set to On a schedule, a schedule box appears that reads as a sentence: Run at [time] [timezone] on [frequency]. Fill in each dropdown — part of creating or editing the Action — to define when the Action runs.
  1. Run at — pick the hour from the first dropdown. Times are on the hour (for example 8 AM, 3 PM).
  2. Timezone — pick from the second dropdown. It defaults to your detected timezone. The Action always fires at the chosen hour in this timezone.
  3. Frequency — pick from the on dropdown: All days, Specific days of the week, or One day each month.

​
Frequency options

  • All days — runs every day at the chosen time. Nothing more to set.
  • Specific days of the week — a row of weekday checkboxes (Sun–Sat) appears under Select days. Check one or more.
  • One day each month — a Which day each month? dropdown appears. Pick a day from the 1st to the 31st, or Last day.
⚠️ Important: If you choose Specific days of the week you must check at least one day. Leaving all weekdays unchecked blocks saving with the message “Select at least one day of the week.”
ℹ️ Good to know: Choosing Last day handles months of different lengths for you — it runs on the 28th, 30th, or 31st as appropriate, so you never miss a month-end.

FAQ

The scheduler runs on the hour, once per matching day. For more frequent or sub-hour cadences, use a new-data trigger or run the Action manually with Run Now.
Use Last day if you always want the final day of every month. A fixed day like the 31st is best for months that have it; choose Last day to stay safe across short months.
Check the timezone dropdown. The hour is interpreted in the selected timezone, so a mismatch (for example UTC vs. your local zone) shifts the run time. Set it to your zone and save.
