Whatsapp howto automatic send message

How can I make a flow, so Whatsapp sends a message every 4 weeks to somebody.

I have already installed Whatsapp on my Homey Pro and connected it to my Whatsapp app.

YW. You’re free to discuss ideas with the app developer in the app topic I linked to.

Btw, I was thinking too complex, this flow below should do?
Because the “week” period lacks with the Date&Time “Every x” trigger, you can use 4*7 days:

The only point is when to actually create the flow, in order to start at the preferred day.

Or you can use Action Scheduler App for Homey | Homey for the trigger to be specific weekday with crontab syntax. Though it needs to be checked if the step for every Nth weekday will work.

For example this could work 0 8 22-28 * 1

  • 0 → minute
  • 8 → hour (08:00)
  • 22-28 → day of month (the 4th Monday always falls between 22nd and 28th)
  • * → any month
  • 1 → Monday

This runs at 08:00 on any Monday that falls between the 22nd and 28th of the month, which is always the 4th Monday.
