Hi,

How can I schedule a bot to run from the 1st to 12th of every month?

Hi ​@Sakshi ,

 

You can do like this.

 



Choose the frequency as Monthly and put the Days count to 12. Later, select all Months.


Hi,

While creating the schedule, under the "Frequency" section:

  • Choose Monthly.

  • Then select the days manually — 1st to 12th (you can pick multiple dates while setting up).

  • Set the time when you want the bot to run. This way, your bot will automatically run only from the 1st to the 12th every month


Hi ​@NewTushitha,

How can I pick multiple dates, could you please provide a screenshot?

Since your requirement was to schedule from 1st to 12th of each Month, you just have to select the Days count as 12 as shown in the picture shared earlier.

alternatively, you can select the start dates and end dates for every month, check “repeat every” and set it to 12 hours so it runs twice a day

here’s an overview of the options: https://docs.automationanywhere.com/bundle/enterprise-v2019/page/enterprise-cloud/topics/control-room/activity/cloud-edit-scheduled-activity.html


Hi ​@Padmakumar,

If I select the day count as 12, it shows the next occurrence as the 12th of every month. Please check the screenshots below and let me know if I’m missing anything.

Oh, I am so sorry for that. Let's do this in a bit tricky way then.

 

Create a separate Task bot which you can later schedule to run on daily basis. Within this bot, you can add logic to check the System date and if it is matching with only 1st to 12th of a Month then, based on that, call your actual bot. Let me know if it is not clear enough.

 

 

Hope it will help this time.


Thanks ​@Padmakumar
