Hi @Sanjana Sen

Welcome to the community 🙂

Using the Python API wrapper below

https://atlassian-python-api.readthedocs.io/

Here's the detailed step on how to achieve the same

Write the JQL for resolved issues and move the status to closed status

Write a cronjob in Linux server for the same

Let me know if you have any queries

Thanks,

Pramodh
