The fastest and easiest way is to trigger the zap on a schedule, like 12:01am.
Then insert an AI step and ask it to output the sunrise and sunset today.
After that, add a Paths step with two paths set to always run. On path A, add a delay step to “delay until” the sunrise given by AI. On Path B, do the same but for sunset.

To trigger a Zap at sunrise or sunset, set the Zap to run daily (e.g., 12:01 AM). Use an AI step to fetch that day's sunrise/sunset times, then add a Paths step with two branches: one delays until sunrise, and the other delays until sunset. This way, your automation can run specific actions exactly at those times each day.
