You can now schedule captures to run on the last day of every month – regardless of whether that’s the 28th, 29th, 30th, or 31st.
The problem
Until now, if you wanted to capture a page on the last day of every month, you had to pick a specific day like the 28th or 31st. Picking the 31st meant your capture wouldn’t run in February, April, June, September, or November. Picking the 28th meant you’d miss the actual last day in most months.
The solution
When you edit a capture’s schedule, you’ll now see a Last button alongside the 1-31 day buttons.
Selecting Last tells Blitapp to run the capture on the final day of each month:
- January 31st
- February 28th (or 29th in a leap year)
- March 31st
- April 30th
- And so on
You can combine Last with other days. For example, selecting 1 and Last will capture on both the first and last day of every month.
Use cases
End-of-month reports
Capture dashboards, analytics pages, or financial summaries on the last day of each month for your records.
Monthly archiving
Take a snapshot of a web page at the end of every month to track how it changes over time.
Billing and invoices
Capture invoice portals or billing dashboards right before the month rolls over.
Compliance and auditing
Automatically archive the state of a regulated web page at month-end for compliance documentation.
How to set it up
- Create or edit a capture
- Choose Days of the month or Custom schedule
- Click the Last button in the “Days of the Month” row
- Set your preferred time and save
That’s it. Your capture will automatically adjust for short months and leap years.
