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](https://homey.app/a/fi.oh2th.alarmutils) 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.
