Trigger dummy job every 1th of each month

Post by magnussandstrom »

I have a flow where I want to trigger one dummy job the 1th each month at 8 AM. Any ideas how to achieve this?

I would setup a flow like below.
In my case it checks an ftp for files.
But if you setup Firestarter or other app to output a file every 2 hour, then you should end up with just one dummy job in the timespan the flow has.

A dedicated app for this would be nice, like "trigger cron job" with cron notations as a parameter.

Right now I would solve your use case with the app "FireStarter" from the app store:

Thanks I never used this property on a flow before, works great!
