Do you need more control over Zap scheduling (while using fewer tasks)?

I’ve seen a lot of inventive workarounds to schedule when workflows run! 🗓️

I'd love to hear what challenges you’ve encountered when trying to trigger a zap:

  • every *other* day
  • on the 3rd Thursday of every month
  • 7 hours from now while taking into account store hours
  • etc

Compared to all of the workarounds I’ve seen in this forum that use Google Sheets, Paths, loops, and formatting steps, a new approach I’m working on would give you precise control and reduce your daily triggers followed by a bunch of date checking.  It would even work without Paths.

But to really nail this, I need to hear more about your pain. 😫

What are you doing to manage workflow scheduling, and what do you wish you could do?
