I have a flow that I need to run every 5 minutes but only between 8 AM and 8 PM daily. Is there a way to achieve it?

Thanks Tyler! Feels like a stupid question now!

This can be further simplified to:

`*/5 8-19 * * *`

I also wanted to recommend two sites that help writing cron rules:

- [Crontab.guru - The cron schedule expression generator](https://crontab.guru/#%5C*/5_8-19%5C_%5C*%5C_%5C*%5C_%5C)\*
- [https://crontab.cronhub.io/](https://crontab.cronhub.io/)

I'm not sure you can do that in the UI? Agree that would be a simpler version, though.
