> This is a sample script for executing a function with the minutes timer in the specific times using Google Apps Script. For example, when this sample script is used, the following situation can be achieved: Execute a function every 10 minutes only in 09:00 – 12:00 and 15:00 – 18:00 for the weekday.

A clever bit of coding from Kanshi Tanaike for running a Google Apps Script on a defined schedule. The part I found particularly interesting was the solution for programmatically setting triggers in the V8 runtime:

> This sample script used Web Apps. Because when v8 runtime is used, when the trigger is set from the function executing by a trigger, the trigger is disabled. This is the recognized bug. But unfortunately, this has still not been resolved. (September 21, 2021) **But, when the trigger is installed by Web Apps, no issue occurs.** So, please deploy Web Apps.
