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.

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) * EDIT - use @Trudy P Claspill's alternative to the first IF statement presented below instead of this one. * Second IF/Else with a {{smart values}} condition:* {{now.dayofWeekName}} * exactly matches regular expression * (Friday)

First IF {{smart values}} condition:
- {{now.dayofWeekName}}
- does not match regular expression
- (Saturday|Sunday)
- EDIT - use @Trudy P Claspill's alternative to the first IF statement presented below instead of this one.
Second IF/Else with a {{smart values}} condition:
- {{now.dayofWeekName}}
- exactly matches regular expression
- (Friday)

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.

Thank you @Alex Kovell

@Lara Sousa, @Trudy P Claspill's alternative presented here to my first IF statement is better than the first half of my proposal. While both will work, this will eliminate the need for the entire first IF statement.
