Feature Request: Day of the Week on Time Condition
Suggesting since currently, it only allows to select the exact date, which if ran every so often requires resetting of the date. Isn't it better to set it to a day of the week so that resetting isn't necessary?
I agree that the time condition could be improved. It could allow checking for a day of the week, or a partial date (is it the 15th day of the month for instance). I'm just not sure how to provide that choice while making it intuitive though.
I'm not sure what you mean with "resetting" however.
Since actiona support javascript/ecma you can use function for getting day of week to variable and then call your "this day" procedure using Variable condition. Here is working example of calling procedure for wednesday if it's wednesday today:
