Introduction
The weekly trigger fires an automation on one or more specific days of the week at a configured time. You can add multiple day/time pairs to a single trigger — useful for running on different days at the same or different times without creating separate triggers.
ℹ️ NOTE: Adding non-manual triggers requires either admin status or a role with the Manage automations permission. If you can see the automation but can't add triggers, check your role's permissions with your admin. See Workspace → Permissions for details.
Weekly Trigger
Timezone and Weekday
Select a Timezone from the dropdown.
Select a Weekday and set the Time for that day.
To add more days, click + Add another day and configure each one.
Available days: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
ℹ️ NOTE: Each weekday/time row fires independently. If you configure Monday and Friday at 12:00 AM, the automation runs twice per week — once on each day.
Condition
You must select a condition to save the trigger. Choose All devices to run against your entire device inventory, or pick a more specific condition type to narrow the scope.
For the full condition reference, see Trigger Conditions.
💡 TIP: A common pattern is to combine a weekly trigger with a Group condition scoped to a specific client — for example, "Every Sunday at midnight, run only for devices in the Client ABC group." This lets you stack multiple weekly triggers in a single automation to support different maintenance windows per client.
Additional Options
Expand Additional options to set an optional Trigger name and toggle the trigger on or off with the Enabled switch.
Trigger name — Replaces the default label on the pipeline trigger card. Especially useful when an automation has multiple weekly triggers with different schedules for different client groups.
Enabled — When off, the trigger won't fire. In-progress runs are unaffected.
FAQ
What happens if a device is offline when the weekly trigger fires? It gets queued and will run when it comes back online. Missed fires don't stack — the device runs once when it reconnects. To exclude offline devices entirely, add a Status = Online condition. See Trigger Conditions for details.
Can I set different times for different days within one trigger? Yes. Each weekday row has its own time field. Monday can fire at 12:00 AM and Friday at 6:00 PM within the same trigger.
Who can add or edit triggers on an automation? Admin users can always add triggers. Non-admin users need the Manage automations permission on their role, plus access to the automation's group. If an automation has no triggers yet, any user with group access can add the first one.
