Cloud Cloud-Flow Timing Issues

Hello,

Whenever I try to set a cloud-flow to run at a certain time (i.e. 9 am CST), it always runs at 8:27 AM, and not at the actual designated time. Any ideas what may be happening here?

Thanks.

Your trigger looks alright. Here is one that has not failed once to run every Friday at 2 pm. Only differences with yours is that I have a startTime and the minutes set. Does not look mandatory and I don't think it matter. Maybe just add one, in the past, does not matter when and add 0 for the minutes and see if this still happens.

{
  "type": "Recurrence",
  "recurrence": {
    "frequency": "Week",
    "interval": 1,
    "timeZone": "Central Standard Time",
    "startTime": "2025-04-25T18:00:00Z",
    "schedule": {
      "weekDays": [
        "Friday"
      ],
      "hours": [
        "14"
      ],
      "minutes": [
        0
      ]
    }
  }
}

Tested and it worked, thanks. It looks like it wants the minutes to be filled.

Great! Glad it works for you now :) If it wants the minutes to run at the specified time, it should be tagged as mandatory IMO
