Would also like to add something along the lines of 30th of the month or 14th, 15th of the month.
Hi, here is an example recipe with a workaround for this request. With this recipe, you can specify not just 1 but any number of days of the month to perform tasks you want.

Basically, to do the above, you will simply need to use the Clock Application and Schedule Task Trigger and a Conditional Stop with the Data field, Condition and Value as follows:

It would also be helpful to allow for options like:
Once per Month
Once per Quarter
Once per Year
Hi MedSource,
Sure. For now, you can do so with the Clock (Now Scheduler) in this manner :
30 Days ( per month)
3 months (Per Quarter)
You can add a Wait actions that waits for another 2 months after 30 days.
Once per year
Scheduling every year may not be very useful, but you can definitely use a wait action to Schedule for a year as well.
@adam, I don't actually think that is true.
Because if you do the every 3 months like you suggested it will wait three months for the first one but then the second trigger will still be every 30 days. So it will look like this:
1st trigger 30 days + 2months: action at 90 days
Second trigger 60days + 2months: action at 120 days
That's will have items still going every 30 days.
@adam & @Marshal - Actually, If you set it for every 30 days, that's just every 30 days, not once per month. Not every month has 30 days, so for companies that require something to happen every month on the same day of the month, every 30 days is useless. You wouldn't want something like Billing being processed every 30 days, when you actually do your Billing on the 5th of every month.
