For understandable reasons Google seems to only be allowing script triggers with 15 minute tolerance on timing (when specifying an absolute time - they allow relative times precise to the millisecond). I'm wondering if I've missed something though. Is there a way of saying I want something to run at exactly 00:01 in a particular time zone every day?

    Use an external service to invoke the script, e.g. send an authenticated POST request from a webserver you control to your apps script webapp. – tehhowch Jun 23 '20 at 11:20

  • @Kos Somewhat. I could hack things together so that I create that trigger every day. But it would be good to have a way to do it directly. – Alexander Soare Jun 24 '20 at 09:59

As far as the documentation goes, you are right on the 15 minutes approximation. If you want a script to run exactly at a given time, you should run it using the Apps Script API from a web server of yours or even your desktop. To set it up, you can use this example as a reference.
