CRON Scheduled automation not triggering

[Esteban Ramirez]

Hi,

Can someone help me, why is the automation not triggering, I've been testing this today (01/04/2022), matching the trigger to UTC time but it still won't trigger. It won't work even when changing the trigger to use the basic settings The automation does work if I click on the "run automation" button though.

Hi @Esteban Ramirez ,

I think that issue is on your cron expression.

Please consider that approach :

0 15 8 ? JAN MON 2014
seconds, minutes,hour,day,month,day,year

This literally translates to 0 second, 15 minute, 8 hour, any day of the month, January, Monday, 2014.

Hope this helps,

Fabio

Hi @Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_ ,

Thanks, the expression was actually ok, I was just expecting it to trigger in the wrong time

Hi @Esteban Ramirez ,

are u sure that your cron is based on UTC?

Could you check Audit Log for the automation in order to figure out if it has been fired?
