How do I trigger a zap on "last 2nd weekday" of the month?

Best answer by DavidLGS

This is a job for an AI step.

  1. Have the zap triggered on the first of the month.
  2. Next step is to feed the prompt into an AI step and ask it to output “The second-last working day (Monday to Friday) in the month.”
  3. Use a “Delay until” step, and put the AI output there
  4. Finish the rest of your zap

Can you give a couple examples of what a “last 2nd weekday” is?

The "last 2nd weekday of the month" means:

The second-last working day (Monday to Friday) in the month.

That’s it! Just skip weekends, and count backward from the end of the month.
