Add "On Day of Week" Automation Condition

Right now, we can have narrow automations by dates relative to today.
However, it'd be more valuable to be able to also narrow automations by day and time.
Similar to the "At a Scheduled Time" trigger, I'm suggesting there become a Condition to be able to check any available Date field for whether it is or is not "Within a Certain Date/Time"
So it'd be something like...
When a Record is Created
AND
[Today's Date] is [a Saturday or Sunday]
THEN
....
This would allow us to automate differently based on weekends (recurring), business hours (recurring), holidays (one-time), or client's office hours.

Great to hear your perspective, Alex Stoica! I have a few more questions for you:
- Could you please specify the time zone for the business hours you mentioned?
- What actions should the automation perform between 9 am - 5 pm?
- What should happen if the automation is triggered outside of these hours, but is still running when the business hours begin?

Jon Darbyshire Hi Jon, UK time zone? I would like a scenario when Status is Manually changed - send Email. Consider if i changed it at 10pm to send the email just in the next business hour actually not at night.

This feature in development now and will allow for the selection of multiple days of the week or multiple days of the month. Example: Perform this action on Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning at 9:00am of each week.
This is in testing now and will be released by the end of this week.
