I need a gateway script to run every Monday morning and send out some emails. I am considering creating a transaction group to change a tag to run the script, but wanted to ask anyway if there was an alternative scheduling method that you would recommend.

Thanks!!

Another option would be to use an expression tag that displays just the day of the week. Then, create a tag change script to send out the emails.
