Hi @Srujan Kumar

Welcome to the Atlassian community!

You can use this:

0 0 0/3 1/1 * ? MON-FRI

For running every 3 hours Monday through Friday

There are online tools like https://www.freeformatter.com/cron-expression-generator-quartz.html or http://www.cronmaker.com/ to help generate the CRON expression based on your requirements.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Vamsi

@Srujan Kumar -

Welcome to the community.  Here is what you can do -

Create an automation rule using the "Scheduled" trigger setup.  You can click on the Advanced (CRON expression) tab to use CRON syntax if you want to.

Hope this helps.
