Hello! I’m trying to set up a trigger for my automation to run on every 8th working day. I have created & uploaded a non-working day calendar for all weekends & holidays into the cloud and I have created the CRON expression “0 0 12 1/8 * ?” which defines it to run every 8 days starting after the 1s…

Do CRON expressions take non-working days into account?

No they do not. Non-working days are not considered by CRON. It can’t know what your working days are.

It sounds like you will need a spreadsheet listing non-working (or working) days and then manually calculate the dates you need.
