I want to have a rule run every hour, with another to follow 5 minutes after so that does not run before the other. Right now, advanced chron is not available on the rule chain that would resolve this. Another way would be to be able to specify the exact time of day on the rule start date to kick off. That way I could schedule one to start at 10/29/2020 @ 10:00 am and the other to go at 10/29/2020 @ 10:05 am. Right now you can only select the date, with no specific time

Hi @andreammelde 

Can you help me understand this more: 

 

There are 2 rules a,b; and you want rule b to run after rule a. Currently, you use scheduling to sequence these rules by 5 mins. Another alternative for this is Rule chain. What is the exact gap here?

@sai_ram  in general, it would be nice to able to pull data that has been updated since the last rule run only. That will help keep the amount of data we are updating limited.

 

So on the date filters, i would like to be able to add a filter that says Modified Date > Last Run Date/Time not just Rule Date

Hi @andreammelde 

We will explore if we can achieve “Modified Date/DateTime > Last Run Date/Time” so that its much more easy to run delta data.

FYI: @Tulasi @swaroop_badam
