Hi @Soudios

Create two triggers for the same process, set first trigger to run on Thrusday at 2pm and other trigger to run on Friday at 6am

Hope it helps!!

No @Soudios It’s not possible to trigger the queue with dynamic timings, if we have proper plan to trigger on every monday, tuesday, etc., Then we can write a cron expression, but in this scenario it’s not possible.

Hope you understand!!

@mkankatala
oh i tought it was possible, but its possible to run the process 3 times per day at 6am, 2pm and 7 pm every monday and tuesday for example ?

11

Yes it’s possible… @Soudios

12

can you show me how to do it please ?

Okay @Soudios

Use the below cron expression in the Time trigger to trigger the process in specified timings on Monday and Tuesday,

0 6,14,19 * * 1,2

The image shows a cron schedule set to run at 06:00 AM, 02:00 PM, and 07:00 PM only on Monday and Tuesday. (Captioned by AI)

how can i put this expression on orchestrator ?

15

Login to Orchestrator → Go to Project folder → Click on Automations → Click on Triggers → Go to Time Triggers → Add Time Trigger → Select the Advanced in Frequency dropdown → Give the cron expression in Custom cron expression field.

Check the below image for better understanding,

The image shows a user interface for creating a time trigger, including fields for name, process name, job priority, runtime type, timezone, frequency, and a custom cron expression with certain fields highlighted in yellow. (Captioned by AI)
