Recurring tasks on a specific day of the week

[animax]

Hello EspoCRM team,

I have set up recurring tasks with the help of the "Advanced Pack": daily, weekly, monthly, yearly. That all works great too.

But now I need the following functions:
- Recurring weekly on Mondays
- Recurring dayly only Mo-Fr
- Recurring monthly on the 1st day of the month
- Recurring monthly on the last day of the month

How can I set this up?

At the moment I have set up a pulldown menu with the individual selection: No recurrence, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly

Once the "Completed" status is selected, the rest is done by 4 workflows for daily, weekly, monthly, yearly

Using Advanced Pack and Cron you should be able to schedule tasks for the times you listed

Hello,

as I already wrote, I already use the "Advanced pack". Of course, the cron is also in use. However, I don't know how to implement this in concrete terms, so I'm asking for more details.

Hi there, I dont use Advanced Pack! I don't know. Food for thoughts:

I'm not sure if you can get the name of the date, e.g. Monday. or Sat Sun

If you can do that somehow that can take care of "Weekends" by using an ifThen formula, for example:

ifThen(dateName==Sat, date=date+1)

- Recurring monthly on the 1st day of the month

For this, I recommend you a service https://crontab.guru:
- Recurring weekly on Mondays: https://crontab.guru/#0_0_*_*_1

0 0 * * 1

- Recurring dayly only Mo-Fr: https://crontab.guru/monday-to-friday

0 0 * * 1-5

If you meant only on Mondays and Fridays: https://crontab.guru/#0_0_*_*_1,5

0 0 * * 1,5

- Recurring monthly on the 1st day of the month: https://crontab.guru/#0_0_1_*_*

0 0 1 * *

- Recurring monthly on the last day of the month: you will most likely need three Workflows with different conditions:
1. January, March, May, July, August, October, December: https://crontab.guru/#0_23_31_1,3,5,7,8,10,12_*

0 23 31 1,3,5,7,8,10,12 *

2. February: https://crontab.guru/#0_23_28-29_2_*

0 23 28-29 2 *

Once every 4 years he will work twice, but what can you do
Although maybe someone from the community will tell you...

3. April, June, September, November: https://crontab.guru/#0_23_30_4,5,9,11_*

0 23 30 4,5,9,11 *
