Hey Mark!
I believe the best bet for this one is a custom action I've created to check if a given time is in schedule.
Create the flow with a "Daily" trigger, running every day at your desired time, then as the first action, check if the time the flow started (a data-dot from the trigger) is within a certain schedule. You could create a new schedule if you don't have one already.
Here's the details of the action:
Inputs:
And the Script Step to check:
Here's the code snippet:
(function execute(inputs, outputs) {
if (inputs.time) {
var timeToUse = new GlideDateTime();
timeToUse.setDisplayValue(inputs.time.toString());
} else {
var timeToUse = new GlideDateTime();
}
var sched = new GlideSchedule(inputs.sched.getUniqueValue());
var output = sched.isInSchedule(timeToUse);
outputs.timeInSched = output;
})(inputs, outputs);
Then map the output to a true/false.
Then your flow will look like this:
Hope that helps!

Hi
This is really cool and is something that I have been trying to get working for my company.
My business problem is as follows. I want to send a SMS out on Incidents that are created after Core business hours.
I created a new schedule (Out of hours 19:00:00 to 07:00:00) which looks like the following,
I have then followed your notes above by creating the Action
In my flow I am now doing the following
The Input time I have based this on the Created Date / Time of the INC and not the Run Start time of the Trigger. I tried this but still get the same results.
The issue that I am having is that every priority 1 INC that I am creating is going down the TRUE path regardless of the time. Example I created a P1 INC before 19:00:00 this should evaluate to FALSE but it's not.
been stuck on this today and would appreciate some thoughts
Kind Regards
Mark
