Hi @VinnyThePooh ,
Welcome to UiPath Forum :slight_smile:

use below condition to check week day
DayOfWeek today = DateTime.Today.DayOfWeek;
// Test current day of week.
if (today == DayOfWeek.Monday)
{
Console.WriteLine(“DO WORK”);
}

Hi

Welcome to uipath forum

Hope the below steps would help you resolve this

  1. Use a assign activity like this

str_date = Datetime.Now.ToString(“dddd”)

Where str_date is a string variable

  1. Then use a SWITCH activity where in the expression mention like this

str_date

And in each case mention the value as Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,….

Now under each cases you can include the set of activities you want to trigger

Based on what day you get the corresponding activities will get triggered

For more details on switch activity and how to use it

Do the same in assign activity above.

We can assign value to a variable either directly from variable panel like how you have done now or
With assign activity

So delete that assign activity as you have already assigned it in variable panel

Directly go for switch activity

Refer the doc shared above for more details on how to use that activity
