Auto assign based on days of the week

Question

I have an automation in place that auto assigns based on the day of the week.

If Monday set assignee to A

Tuesday set assignee to B

....and so on.

However, our company has alternating Fridays off and I can't figure out a way to configure this in automation such that the assignee is updated every other Friday.. If anyone has suggestions please let me know.

Hi @Jeffrey Bistrong

First thing, have you considered using a Lookup Table for the day-of-week to assignee mapping?  That will shorten the rule a bit and ease maintenance / risk of rule errors.

Next, for your original question: you could use the weekOfYear and test if it is even or odd and make the decision.

Kind regards,
Bill
