Automation rule for daily tasks should not run on weekends - Saturday and Sunday.

[Mohit Edupuganti]

I have created automation rule for daily tasks. Every day at 9am the daily tasks will be added in the To Do card on the board. I do not want this automation to run on weekends - Saturday and Sunday. How to achieve this?

Hi @Mohit Edupuganti 

Can you share the automation you have so far?

If the automation is Scheduled, there is an option here:

Where you can set when it shouldn't run.

It is scheduled and instead of weeks I have put daily. I chose daily because there are some tasks that needs to be completed daily.

Hi again!

Then you need to change the scheduled to ADVANCED and use a CRON expression:

0 0 9 ? * MON-FRI

9:00 am every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

Try that

I don't think Advanced scheduling needs to be used. If the schedule is set for 1 Weeks and the days Mon through Fri are selected, as in Aaron's picture:

Then it will run every week on Monday, every week on Tuesday, every week on Wednesday, every week on Thursday, and every week on Friday. That is the same as have a daily schedule that doesn't trigger on Saturday or Sunday.

Hi @Trudy Claspill 

Thanks for the confirmation. I had a little memory lapse and forgot that the run rule every means running the rule every week.

Thanks for the help!
