Describe the problem/error/question

I have two workflows with a daily schedule trigger.

One of them is not working at all. Although I deactivated the node/flow (with a short break) nothing works for me.

I have set my Timezone for the workflow correctly

The second also runs on a daily basis and is supposed to run at 11:15, but triggers at around 6pm or sometimes never.

The triggers that are supposed to run every e.g. two minutes work perfectly fine. I’m only having trouble with the daily ones.

What is the error message (if any)?

None

Hey @Schwalbi !

I feel you… had same issue and I switched to Custom Cron(and never had any issue so far).

Set Trigger Interval to Custom (Cron), ennnter the following cron expression:

15 11 * * *

This means: at minute 15, hour 11, every day.

Give it a try!

You can set the timezone globally for the instance, for individual workflows, or both. If you do not set it for a workflow, the instance (global) timezone is used.

Hi @Parintele_Damaskin, thanks for you advice,

I suspected that I might have to use the custom cronjob. I have set the timezone for both workflows individually.

Hope they fix it one day :smiley:
