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.- Cadence and time — choose a calendar schedule or a repeating interval. Interval options include every number of minutes, every number of hours, and every hour.
- Timezone — pick from the second dropdown. It defaults to your detected timezone. The Action always fires at the chosen hour in this timezone.
- 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.
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
Can I run an Action more than once a day or at a half-hour?
Can I run an Action more than once a day or at a half-hour?
Yes. Choose an interval such as Every 30 minutes, Every 2 hours, or Every hour. For event-driven runs, use a new-data trigger; you can also run the Action manually with Run Now.
I picked a monthly day of 31 — what happens in February?
I picked a monthly day of 31 — what happens in February?
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.
Why did my Action run an hour off?
Why did my Action run an hour off?
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.
