Automatically run script on workdays using app script in google sheets

Question

I currently have a function that basically copies values from one tab to another using certain conditions in which i execute daily via menu added in google sheets, how can i create a script that runs on workdays (monday to friday) at 6AM GTM-3 time and calls function copyData () to be executed? I have this code not working:

function createTriggers() { 
var days = [ScriptApp.WeekDay.MONDAY, ScriptApp.WeekDay.TUESDAY, ScriptApp.WeekDay.WEDNESDAY, ScriptApp.WeekDay.THURSDAY, ScriptApp.WeekDay.FRIDAY]; 
 for (var i=0; i<days.length; i++) { 
  ScriptApp.newTrigger(copyData).timeBased().onWeekDay(days[i]) .atHour(6).create(); 
 } 
}

Any thoughts?

Answer 1

Try

function myFunction(){
  if (testDate()==true) {copyData()}
}
function testDate(){
  var d = new Date();
  // not on sunday and saturday 
  if (d.getDay()!=0 && d.getDay()!=6) {return true} else {return false}
}

Put a daily trigger myFunction

function createTimeDrivenTriggers() {
  ScriptApp.newTrigger('myFunction')
      .timeBased()
      .everyDays(1)
      .atHour(6)
      .create();
}
