Scheduled Job: Run every three hours between 7am - 4pm

[Muhammad Salar]

Hi All,

I have a scheduled job that runs on Monday, Thursday, and Friday.
I also want to add this condition: run every three hours between 7 AM and 4 PM, while keeping the existing days functionality.

How to do that?

Need to run every three hours between 7 AM and 4 PM, not after 4 PM
i used this logic for start-end time with starting time field empty
Is it ok or any suggestion to improve this logic?

var now = new Date();
var dayOfWeek = now.getDay();
var hour = now.getHours();
gs.info('hours '+hour);

var allowedDay = (dayOfWeek >= 1 && dayOfWeek <= 5);

// Only allow between 07:00 and 16:00
var allowedTimeRange = (hour >= 7 && hour < 16);

if(allowedDay && allowedTimeRange) {
answer = true;
}
else {
answer = false;
}

@Ankur Bawiskar can you please look into this?

@Muhammad Salar 

for that you need to change like this

Run -> Periodically

Repeat Interval -> 3 hours

Starting Time -> 7 AM

Condition: Same script as above.
