scheduling an automation at specific time

hello everyone,
I am looking for an option for scheduling an automation at a specific day and time
i'll explain:
i have app on qlik cloud and i want to build a trigger that will reload the app twice a month:
1) on the 1st of each month at 09:00
2) at the 15th of each month at 09:00

is there any option to do this?
i tried in the block "start" but this block just have specific times

thanks!

Hello @LiorT , is there any reason why you don't what to use the scheduler in the Management Console for these app reloads?

After all, I edited the timing through Management Console, but I imagined a possibility where the "Start" block also has options for scheduling specific.
In fact, my client wanted me to create a capability for him only through the automation without using the application itself .
My goal with it is that the "start" block will give the command to start running the application that actually exports a QVD file to me in the end.

You could have the automation update the schedule based on the current date. Run it manually once, then it becomes scheduled:

See attached automation for details.

Another solution could be to have an external script triggering the automation when you want it to run.
