Hi @Chandrashekar  ,

This was for your first requirement of running the flow every half an hour

Hi @Chandrashekar ,

 

perhaps you will need more flows with the specific triggers.

 

For example - one flow running hourly, another one half-hourly, ... share what you created for a review.

 

EDIT: depending on the nature of the flow, perhaps the same behaviour can be achieved by scheduled job which might be easier to set triggers. And the flow seems to have trigger only to be triggered hourly but not to exclude the week days.

 

Try scheduled jobs:

Hello @Chandrashekar  ,

Yes this requirement can be done by flow designer,
Below I have shared my approach of doing this use case..

First Flow for triggering every 1 hour ->

If the action gives output as 'true', proceed with your further requirement.. ->

Custom action ->

Script ->

(function execute(inputs, outputs) {
    var today = new GlideDateTime();
    var dateOnly = today.getDate().getByFormat('yyyy-MM-dd');

    // Build start and end times for today
    var startTime = new GlideDateTime(dateOnly + ' 08:00:00');
    var endTime   = new GlideDateTime(dateOnly + ' 22:00:00');

    // Current time
    var checkTime = new GlideDateTime();

    // Get day of week (1 = Sunday, 2 = Monday, ... 7 = Saturday)
    var dayOfWeek = checkTime.getDayOfWeek();

    // Compare time AND weekday
    if (dayOfWeek >= 2 && dayOfWeek <= 6 &&   // Mon–Fri
        checkTime.getNumericValue() >= startTime.getNumericValue() &&
        checkTime.getNumericValue() <= endTime.getNumericValue()) {
        
        outputs.is_within_range = 'true';
    } else {
        outputs.is_within_range = 'false';
    }

})(inputs, outputs);

 

 

If my response helped mark as helpful and accept the solution..
