Morning all,
Not sure if anyone has experienced this but I have the below workflow that is triggered at 7.05am UK time ( I have changed the settings to look at Europe/London).
I have also added an interval of every 15 minutes as sometimes the report it is looking for can be saved to the folder a bit later than that. However, it seems to be happening that the workflow is activating 15 minutes before 7.05, so at 6:45, 6:30.
Any ideas why this is happening? I don’t mind it being sent out earlier but I would just like to know incase I am asked about it.
Hey @villa1980
You’ve encountered a common point of confusion with the n8n Schedule Trigger’s interval.
The Schedule trigger rules are additive to each other. The two rules you have basically tell the trigger to run every 15 minutes AND once every day at 7:05. This is probably why you see runs at 6:45, 7:00, 7:05, 7:15, 7:30
It sound like you want to run this job at 7:05 and then at 7:20, 7:35 and so on probably until the end of the day. In this case it’s easiest to use a cron schedule (custom expressions)
Here is an example cron that will run at 5, 20, 35, and 50 minutes past every hour from 7 through 23 (7 AM to 11 PM) 5,20,35,50 7-23 * * *
That’s brilliant, thank-you for the help and the example you provided, interesting that the 2 do not exist between one another but will make mental note for next time.
Many Thanks again
