Automations can now run monthly.
Pick Month in an automation's schedule, choose a day from the 1st to the 28th and a time in your timezone. Monthly reports, audits and reviews now run on their own, on the day you set.

Automations could already run every hour, every day or every week. Now they can run every month. Pick Month in the schedule, choose the day and the time, and Morrison runs the automation on that day, every month, without anyone pressing a button.
A lot of content work runs on a monthly rhythm. The report for leadership. The decay review. The governance sweep. Those now have a schedule that fits.
How it works
The schedule reads like a sentence: Every Month on the 1st at 08:00. Choose any day from the 1st to the 28th. The list stops at the 28th so the run lands in every month, February included.
The time follows the timezone on the schedule, which starts as your own and can be changed. In the automations list, the schedule shows in plain words, such as Every month on the 1st at 08:00, so anyone on the team can see when a report will arrive.
Need something more specific, like a run on two days a month? The custom cron option is still there.
What teams run monthly
- The monthly performance report. Compare last month with the month before in Search Console and GA4, list the biggest movers, and email it with charts to the people who need it.
- A content decay review. Pages that lost a fifth of their clicks over three months, with a likely reason for each and the first fix to try.
- A governance sweep. Pages missing a meta description, titles with last year in them, guides that have not been updated in twelve months.
- Paid and organic overlap. Where Google Ads spend goes to keywords you already rank for organically, refreshed once a month.
Because a run can read the automation’s previous report, a monthly run can look back at what it reported last month and tell you what changed since.
Try it
Open Automations, create an automation or edit one you already have, and choose Month in the schedule. Everything else works as before: the same models, integrations and Skills, output by email or in the run log. More on the Automations page.
