Frequently Asked Questions

How do I set this to 9am New York time in GitHub Actions? ▾

GitHub Actions runs in UTC. New York is UTC-5 (EST) or UTC-4 (EDT). So 9am EST = 14:00 UTC. Use "0 14 * * 1-5" in winter and "0 13 * * 1-5" in summer, or pick one and accept a 1-hour drift during DST.

What's the AWS EventBridge equivalent? ▾

"0 9 ? * MON-FRI *" — note the "?" for day-of-month (required by AWS when specifying day-of-week) and "*" for year.
