Advanced Cron Scheduler in Rule Chain

Hi.

One of our customer asking us to schedule a Rule Chain to run on a Bi-Weekly basis.

Right now in Rules Engine, we have an Advanced Option. In this with the help of “Cron Expression”, we can schedule any rule to run on Bi-Weekly.

But this option is not available in Rule Chain. If we can have the same option in Rule Chain that would be helpful for us and customers as well.

This would be super helpful. We are trying to keep our Opt Outs in sync with SFDC, and being able to check more frequently throughout the day would be much better

@andreammelde  For syncing data with SFDC, Realtime rules that we are working on is a better path than more frequent rule chains. 

We do not want to provide the ability to have more frequent rule chains in the short term. 

@rakesh  is the real time rule on the current roadmap? any idea on timing?

Yes, its on the roadmap, we are targeting the first cut in November

Please escalate this if possible. Our Rules Engine queue is super clogged and that could be alleviated with rule chains, but rule chains don’t support more than once daily scheduling unless we trigger an event somehow. It shouldn’t be so difficult to optimize the rules engine schedules. 

Agreed with @ana_g ! Sooner the better would be amazing. I have made a makeshift Rule Chain by adding 1 minute in the Cron expressions, but this is very tedious and hard to maintain!

+1 to this! definitely aligned with @gunjanm and @ana_g 

I’m struggling with this issue and I have a strong deja vú feeling but I can’t see I comment here so here it goes:
YES; PLEASE. And for Data Designer too!

Yep yep, this would be gud 

Are there any updates on where this request is in the backlog/roadmap?

Having the ability to utilize cron expressions via rule chain (plus the standard sub chain options) would be a huge asset in organizing some of our current standalone items that run every 2/4 hours.  

Totally understand not wanting to encourage the customerbase to overschedule jobs and overtax the infra, but this IS possible in other areas and the only difference here is convenience to us. We should have all options available to us.
