Should this Zap trigger on Saturday and Sunday?

This Zap will trigger once every hour at your chosen offset past the hour. For example, choosing `15` will schedule your automation to run at 1:15, 2:15, 3:15, etc. By default, this Zap will trigger at the top of the hour.

Choose the day(s) of the month you want this Zap to trigger. You can select multiple days. Please note that if you choose a day that does not exist in a particular month (like the 30th or 31st in February), the Zap will not trigger for that day in that month.

Schedule is a native Zapier app you can use for recurring tasks. Trigger an action every day of the month, every day of the week or every single day. You can also select the hour of the day. If you're a developer, this is similar to a crontab, cronjob or cron.
