Scheduler

Scheduling Flows to run in regular time intervals
The Scheduler Helper allows you to trigger flow runs automatically in a regular interval or just once. Thus, it is usually used as the first connector of a flow. 
Note: To activate the scheduler, set the flow to live.
​
On the screenshot, you see the options you have for scheduling flows:
Start Date Time is required, as it determines the first time a flow should ever run.
End Date Time is entirely optional as a flow may run indefinitely. 
The time you take is your local time and is converted to UTC in the background. Meaning, if your browser time-zone is based in London and you set the Start Date Time to start at 9 am, this will trigger a flow at 10 am Central European time.
Interval is the crucial piece of every scheduler:
 It has the following options to trigger and run a flow:
every 5 mins - Runs every 5 minutes
every 15 mins - Runs every 15 minutes
every hour - runs hourly
daily - runs every day regardless of any selection of weekdays
weekly - runs on a weekly basis on the specified weekdays
monthly - The flow will run monthly on the same day of the month. For example, if the start date is the 11 of March, the flow will always run on the 11th of each following month until the end date or if it is not chosen, indefinitely. Each case: If you schedule it on the 30 of June, the flow will always run on the 30th of each month, and in the case of February, having usually only 28 days, the flow will run on the last day of February. Meaning, if a month has fewer days than the chosen day, the flow will run on the last day of the month. We found that this serves most business cases and hopefully also yours.
once - Only runs once ever.
Only if you choose weekly as an interval will the weekdays (Mo, Tu, We, Th, Fr, Sa, Su) have an effect.
If no days are selected, then the flow will be scheduled to run on all days.
