Description

### Problem Statement

I have an app that gets the majority of its traffic during the business day on weekdays. I have an alert to warn me if traffic exceeds 200% of the traffic from a week ago, which works perfectly for normal business hours. However, this alert is too easily triggered on days where we have small amounts of traffic. If we only expect 2 users on a Sunday and we instead get 4, that will trigger the alert. This is not an actionable or notable event in the same way 2000 vs 4000 users would be.

### Solution Brainstorm

I would like the ability to set an Alert to only trigger (or trigger different actions) on certain days of the week and/or times of day.
