How to disable a playbook from running during weekends?

Question

Hello,

I have some simple playbooks which have the following flow:

Run every 30mins->run the query and list results->if count is 0 sent a message in teams channel.

Thing is we often get 0 during the weekends. How to disable this playbook from running during weekends?

I have the following query which lists only zeros during weekends - seems like it doesn't make much sense.

let Saturday = time(6.00:00:00);
let Sunday = time(0.00:00:00);
CAPAMAuditLog
| where TimeGenerated > ago(90m)
| where dayofweek(TimeGenerated) != Saturday
| where dayofweek(TimeGenerated) != Sunday
| count

Answer 1

Hello,

Solution #1

What you can do is Initialize Variable > set the Expression to dayOfWeek(utcNow()) > use this variable in a Condition and say if the variable you set is (6 or 7) do something otherwise perform your functions.

The final result will look something like:

Solution #2

Go to Recurrence and change to 1 Week > select all weekdays

Then choose At these hours

Then choose At these minutes as 00,30
