I'm looking to create a plugin that uses the cron trigger to call a function once a month. I'm wanting to call the function on the first day of the month at 9:00 AM. Is there a way I can set the cron trigger to do this?

Hi,

Well, if you configure your cron task to be called every hour, the onHikashopCronTrigger function of your plugin will be called every hour.
It's then up to the plugin itself to check whether to do something or not.
So in that function, you shoudl check the day and the hour and then run your custom code only when necessary.
