Does anyone know of a way to dynamically change a transaction group’s scheduled time?

I have a transaction group that Saturday through Thursday I want to trigger at 5:30pm but on Friday I want it to change to 2:30pm. Any ideas?

Thanks!

I wouldn’t use the schedule settings on the transaction group in your case. You can simply make your group run every 1 second and you can create an expression item in the group that is run-always so you can use it as your trigger. The expression would be something like this:`(dateFormat(now(0), "E") = "Fri" && dateFormat(now(0), "HH:mm") = "14:30") || (dateFormat(now(0), "E") != "Fri" && dateFormat(now(0), "HH:mm") = "17:30")`Make your trigger “Only Execute Once While Trigger is Active” and your all set.
