Question

How do I configure a scheduled automation to run hourly between 5am and 6pm, every day? Currently I have it running hourly continuously but I would like to free up the Engines outside of business hours. Is this possible? Thanks

This CRON expression will trigger on the hour every hour between 0500 and 1800

0 5-18 * * *

https://crontab.guru/#0_5-18_*_*_*

For the trigger in the Automation, use Schedule initiated and select CRON Expression
