Prefect Community

Hi. Is it possible to specify a schedule that runs on the first Monday of each month?

I think you can do this with the community contributed RRuleSchedule at the bottom of the page <https://docs.prefect.io/api/latest/schedules/schedules.html#functions|here>

It takes in an <https://dateutil.readthedocs.io/en/stable/rrule.html|rrule object>

Thanks, Kevin. I have a flow that needs to run the first Monday of every month and a daily flow that should run every day except for the first Monday. Can the RRule somehow be used to filter as well?

There is an RRuleClock that you can use if you want to combine multiple clocks

I ended up using a `rruleset`

```# At 22:01 CST on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday,
# except for the first Monday of each month. Times below are UTC.
rset = rruleset()
rset.rrule(rrule(DAILY, byweekday=(TU, WE, TH, FR), byhour=(4), byminute=(1)))
rset.exrule(rrule(MONTHLY, byweekday=(TU(1))))
schedule=RRuleSchedule(rrule_obj=rset)```

it looks like it did. I need to spend more time looking at the dates to make sure.
