Automation with Conditional Logic Based on Day of the Week

[Lara Sousa]

I am setting up a cloning automation with the following execution logic:

• Do not run on Saturdays and Sundays

• Execute a specific flow from Monday to Thursday

• Execute a different logic on Fridays

However, the automation did not run today, which is Friday.
I would appreciate your support in reviewing the logic to identify any potential issues. Please find the current configuration below for validation.

Hello @Lara Sousa 

If you don't want the rule to run at all on Saturday and Sunday you can change the Scheduled trigger Occurrence configuration to run "weekly" and pick every day of the week except Saturday and Sunday. Then you don't need the first Condition in your rule at all.

I'm not familiar with the syntax you are attempting; however, the following will meet your requirements and arguably is easier for a human unfamiliar with the content to read.

• First IF {{smart values}} condition:
  • {{now.dayofWeekName}}
  • does not match regular expression
  • (Saturday|Sunday)
• Second IF/Else with a {{smart values}} condition:
  • {{now.dayofWeekName}}
  • exactly matches regular expression
  • (Friday)
