Need help with scheduling in automation to create an issue on 2 weekdays before last weekday of mont

Tyagi, Abhilasha

First, I want to create an issue automatically with a schedule trigger every 2 business days prior to last business day of the month.

Second, to create an issue on 2 business days prior to first business day of month.

I have thought and tried a lot but no idea how to go about it. Smart values like {{LW.minusbusinessdays(2)}} or any other smart values are throwing error in cron expression. I believe it is not allowed there.

Any assistance would be of great help. Thanks.

Hi @Tyagi, Abhilasha and welcome to the community!

There is no explicit way to capture this as a cron that I'm aware of. However, you could go this route:

TRIGGER: Scheduled (Daily)
CONDITION (Smart Value)
- {{now.startOfDay}}
  Equals
  {{now.startOfDay.endOfMonth.minusBusinessDays(2)}}
ACTION: Create Issue

This will execute daily and check to see if the current run time is 2 business days before the end of the month. If the condition passes, create the issue, otherwise exit.

Thanks for your response. now.startOfDay.endOfMonth - what does this return? Is this same as last business day of the month?

So what should be happening is that it's validating whether the execution start of day matches the start of day for 2 business days before the end of month.
