Lack at recurring schedule. Select Week then you can simply check the days you want it to run

Select a trigger based on a schedule. It is called recurrence.
In the trigger setting set the interval to 1 and the frequency to week.
Select the advance options.
Select your time zone.
Check the day.
Check the time of day.

Trigger is now ready to go. Add the rest of your flow (Note every time you add a new recurrence trigger, it will autorun as soon as you save it. I don't know why, so sort of built in test. I put a terminate action after the trigger set to on success to stop it and then remove. In fact I always put a terminate action at the end of my flows and drag it to spots when I test. It is sort of a simple debugger)

Do you know if there are functions that renaming and move files after this trigger?
With your trigger, it is possible that the system runs only one per week? I want also to store files every day but only on friday do more operations.

thanks

Hi,

You can use
dayOfWeek(utcNow())
to check whether its a friday in a condition, and split the flow according to your diagram

You can still use recurrence and have it run every day

Look at that trigger in more depth - you can run it every day, every hour, every minute
