Schedule Patterns
Dynamic Monthly (Every X Months)
everyFourMonths(), everyFiveMonths(), … everyElevenMonths() — every 4, 5, 7–11 months.
Dynamic Monthly (Every X Months)
For intervals of 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, or 11 months, use everyFourMonths, everyFiveMonths, everySevenMonths, everyEightMonths, everyNineMonths, everyTenMonths, or everyElevenMonths. Intervals 1–3, 6, and 12 are covered by monthly(), bimonthly(), quarterly(), semiannually(), annually().
Signature
everyXMonths(array $config = [])
Config keys:
- day_of_month (int): single day, e.g.
15 - days_of_month (int): multiple days, e.g.
[1, 15] - start_month (int, 1–12): optional anchor month
Same builder chain: use ->forYear(...) or ->from(...)->to(...) as needed, then ->save().
Examples
// Every 4 months on the 15th
Zap::for($resource)
->named('Quarterly+')
->availability()
->everyFourMonths(['day_of_month' => 15])
->forYear(2025)
->addPeriod('09:00', '17:00')
->save();
// Every 5 months on the 1st and 15th, starting from February
Zap::for($resource)
->named('Multi-day Every 5 Months')
->availability()
->everyFiveMonths(['days_of_month' => [1, 15], 'start_month' => 2])
->forYear(2025)
->addPeriod('10:00', '12:00')
->save();
// Every 7 months on the 10th
Zap::for($resource)
->named('Twice a Year+')
->availability()
->everySevenMonths(['day_of_month' => 10])
->forYear(2025)
->addPeriod('14:00', '15:00')
