Hi - I have a couple flows that are expected to run at 10:00 a.m. local time, but today's run triggered at 9:22. Obviously I'm doing something wrong, but it says it will run at 10:00 so I'm confused.

Here is how the Recurrence is coded:

Hi @Mohoelx

Please set a "Start Time" as I have below and it will run like clock work.

As long as it's a round number to start it will remain that way.

Thanks for the response. I'm just curious though if yours runs at 8 or 10?

I removed my "start time" when our requirement moved to running at a specific time of day, since that is what I figured "at these hours" would address.... If I have a "start time" coded, would I need "at these hours" if I only want it to run once each day?

Thanks -

Hi @Mohoelx

Mine would run at 8 am and does run at 8am (Existing production Flow screen shot). You change yours to 10am, it will run at 10 am like clock work.

Thanks, Alan

Thanks - I think I understand the interaction between "Start time" and "At these hours" better. The Start time would be when the flow is 'eligible' to run, and if no "At these hours" coded, it would simply run then. However, the options of picking days of the week and potentially multiple hours (i.e.; multiple runs per day) are advanced features.

I assume if I had my "Start time" as 2019-02-22T11:00:00 (no Z) and my timezone set to Central US, and Days Mon, Wed, Fri then it would run at 11:00 Central each Mon, Wed, Fri starting 2/22 (a Fri), assuming it was saved before 11:00 on 2/22.

However, if down the road I want to change it to run 2x daily or change the run time, I could simply use the "At these hours" field to make the updates.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Alan. I have my trigger set-up like shown in the screenshot, however my flow it is still not being triggered at the set time (09:00 and 17:00). Could this be because the time zone that I set (UCT+2) is clashing with the start time?
