Automation: Create a ticket on Monday where Friday is the first day of the month

[Nangi Namaj]

Is there a way to setup a job in Jira automation so that every Monday it checks if the Friday of that week is the first Friday of the month that the Friday falls on? If so, the automation will create a ticket. I know how to have it setup a cron job to check on Monday and create a ticket, but I'm not sure how to have it check if the Friday of that week is the first Friday of that month.

Example

1. Monday might be 11/27, but the Friday is 12/1 so it would be the first Friday of the month that Friday falls on, but the script needs to check on Monday because that's the day the ticket will be created, or Monday might be 01/01 and Friday is 01/05, etc..

Thanks for any guidance.

Hi @Nangi Namaj,

Compare two smart values:

1. {{now.plusDays(4).jiraDate}}, that is Friday if the rule runs on Mondays (Monday + 4 days = Friday),
2. {{now.plusMonths(1).startOfMonth.jiraDate}}, the first day of the next month.

If these two values are equal, then the next Friday is the first day of month.

Cheers.
