Trigger load in logic app

Question

Hi Expert,

How to trigger load on 2nd Friday on every month in logic app

Answer 1

@Shambhu Rai Thanks for reaching out. There is no out of box solution for your requirement to configure in the schedule trigger. You need to have your custom condition to validate if today's day is the 2nd Friday of the month or not. You can leverage the different date and time function that are available in logic app such as dayOfWeek, dayOfMonth etc as per your requirement and valid and based on the condition you need to now write your workflow inside the true condition.

For your reference sharing the condition to check whether it is 2nd Friday or not of the month.

The first condition check whether today's day is Friday or not (i.e. Sunday is 0 so Friday will be 5)
The second and third condition get the day of the month and divide it by 7 to get know if falls under greater than 1 or less than 2 (the condition will tell whether it is 2nd Friday or not)
As these are and condition so all the condition should be true to run your true condition which will further have your workflow.

I am using the timer trigger that runs every day on 10:00 am UTC. If you need to run in different time zone then you need to update the condition and configuration according to the time zone in your condition statement.
