It would be great if you provide an ability to schedule a monitor run on a weekly, monthly basis or to be able to choose custom date & time range.

That would be an awesome and very usefull feature, for example, I have a collection which I need to run and monitor every month or every 4 weeks.

Think everyone who uses Postman Monitoring would greatly benefit if a flexible/customizable scheduling for monitoring would exist, please make it happen Postman Team!

@StasianQA You can do this directly via the API, even though it's not exposed via the UI. As long as you can specify a CRON pattern to represent the times you want the monitor to run, you can update the monitor to use that pattern via the API.

Tried to update my monitor with "0 0 1 " CRON pattern but in return i get 400 Code with next responce { "error": { "name": "cronPatternNotAllowedError", "message": "The specified cron pattern is not allowed. Please check https://monitor.getpostman.com for the allowed schedules.", "details": { "pattern": "0 0 1 * *" } } }

Your documentation is saying that you can use only specific CRON patterns which again are same as on UI
