How to run Monitor on monthly basis

🌱 Just Getting Started
1

I am trying to have a POST request sent once monthly on the 1st of the month. I’m using the Sendgrid API to send a particular email every month on the 1st.

Can I use monitors to run this request monthly? I can only figure out how to do this weekly in the monitors UI. Thanks!

Hey @beefstu, welcome to the Postman Community!

You can set custom CRON patterns via the Postman API. You can have a look at the API documentation here.

Thanks @godfrzerp! I have been able to update the cron value via a PUT call. However, when I try to input a monthly cron pattern, I get this error.
