Hi all, I am trying to trigger a workflow or add an If condition to submit data to an api only during certain times of the week.
NOTE: I have a Cron that does every 1 minute check for a Google sheet at the start of the workflow, then I want to submit the data only during the above times.
Example of the timeline is:
GMT time
Monday - Thursday - 10:00 - 22:00
GMT time
Friday - 10:00 - 14:00
I want to continue the workflow only during the above durations.
Any help on this one with n8n. Thanks!
Hey @zocket,
What about just using cron for the times you want or is the workflow doing a bit more and it is only one small part you don’t want to trigger?
The cron node currently polls the sheet every 1 minutes, so am just wondering how to add the other conditions for the timeline like 10am to 10pm , Monday to Thursday. If the time isn’t in that duration, the workflow shouldn’t continue.
You can do that with a custom cron expression. To build the expression you can use the crontab.guru.
That is exactly what I was thinking, have 2 cron schedules one for Mon - Thur and one just for Fri.
Just depends on if the rest of the workflow needs to actually run outside of those hours.
Thanks @Jon and @RicardoE105.
I actually didn’t know the Cron could have that expression I needed. Thanks so much!
More to learn while using n8n 
Cron can be very powerful for schedules and you can always have multiple cron entries if needed to cover off anything really odd.
