Hey @Ayaanarjun-5885,

If you have Alteryx Server you can schedule your workflow to run on any frequency you want. Check out this page Schedule a Workflow | Alteryx Help

You could also do it without server using a formula tool and a filter tool.  I would use the following formulas...

 

DateTimeNow() to get today's date (This column is named "Date").

DateTimeFormat([Date],"%A") to get the day of the week. (This column is named "Day").

 

After the formula tool add a filter tool that says if [Day] = "Monday" (or whatever day you want).  Then, add your email tool.  That should do it.
