Cron Every Weekday at 8 AM

The cron expression 0 8 * * 1-5 triggers at 8:00 AM every weekday. This early business-hours schedule is ideal for tasks that need to complete before the 9 AM start of business.

Common uses include pre-standup data preparation, morning notification triggers, daily dashboard refreshes, and early-morning deployment verification. The 8 AM timing gives a 1-hour buffer before most teams start their day at 9.

To pair with an end-of-day job, add 0 18 * * 1-5 for a bookend schedule. For an earlier start, use 0 6 * * 1-5 or 0 7 * * 1-5.
