Biweekly Workflow Schedule

Hi

I want to run my workflow biweekly (every 2 weeks). How can I do this with the current set up on Retool's workflows?

Hey @zach_b ,

you can schedule a workflow to run biweekly using the "Trigger" step with a cron expression.

( since 1/2 means "every 2 weeks on Monday")

Thanks @WidleStudioLLP. And if I want it to run every 2 weeks on a Friday?

Hey @zach_b, You can use 5/2, where 1 in 1/2 represents a day.

Hello @zach_b

If you encounter the error:
"Validation Error: Use 0-6 or SUN-SAT for the day of the week."
Ensure your cron expression follows the correct format.
