For creating integrations, the “Every time period at” trigger is great, but you can only set it to the top of the hour. If the associated action on the backend is API call heavy (like updating a column in all items on a board), we don’t want this request to necessarily happen at the top of the hour. Often, one wants to run these activities in the middle of the night and if there are multiple automations that need to be done, it would be nice to be able to trigger them at 1 AM, 1:15 AM, 1:30 AM, etc. For example, when I have 2 of these running at 1 AM, I will get the “complexity budget exhausted” problem. It would be better to be able to “spread out” these calls by allowing the trigger to run at a specified number of minutes past the top of an hour.
