Workflow Trigger At A Specific Time

Hello everyone,

I'm wanting to run a workflow once every three months. If I set the trigger to be the first Monday of the month, every three moths, and starting today, will it trigger in three months' time on the first Monday? Or will it trigger next month's Monday (assuming this month's first Monday has already passed, and given that I've started it today)? I hope that makes sense.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi @Virginia Rivas,

Using the screenshot below, you can add a start date to the automation, so the first time the automation can be triggered after the start date will be the first time it runs, and then run every three months from there.

In the example above the first time this is triggered would be Monday 4th of January and would then trigger again on Monday 1st April.
