Hello @Balabay

Thank you for reaching out.

You can schedule an automation rule with a cron expression to properly create an issue and send a notification every 5th day of the months you want. These would be the steps:

1. Navigate to the project where the issue should be created > Project settings Automation
2. Click to create an automation, using the following cron expression:
   

   0 0 0 5 JAN,APR,JUL,OCT ?

   

This would be the rule background:

1. When: scheduled with the cron expression (0 0 0 5 JAN,APR,JUL,OCT ?)
2. Action: Create a new issue
3. Second action: Send a notification to the email you want

Let us know if you have any questions.

Hi, @Balabay !

As an alternative, try out Business Process Manager add-on. We at the SaaSJet team have developed this plug-in to build and automate Jira business processes.

So, you can set a scheduler to create an issue every 3 month 

Also, you can 

• set an approval workflow
• trigger new issue from a Form
• build dynamic forms, etc.
