Run a Cron Job Every Monday

Day-of-week 1 represents Monday. Combined with midnight timing, this expression runs at the start of each work week—ideal for kicking off weekly workflows or preparing data for the week ahead. This is the preferred weekly schedule for business-oriented automation where results need to be ready by Monday morning.

The minute and hour are set to 0 (midnight), and the day-of-week field is 1, representing Monday. The job fires once per week at the very start of Monday. This timing ensures that weekly reports, data refreshes, and workflow triggers are ready before the business day begins.
