Using scheduler to create a ticket the first of every month & put in backlog

[Raina Anand]

Just trying to figure out how to schedule something for the first of the month rather than by days, hours or minutes. 

I want the rule to repeat every month, create the ticket on the 1st and assign to an individual and the scheduler shows me a CRON option but I can't figure it out. 

Any advice? Thanks!

Hello, @Raina Anand, for this CRON you can use something like:

0 0 10 1 * ?

This way, an issue will be created every month on the 1st, at 10am.

Remembering that the time change would be where the number "10" is, this way, you can adjust it according to your needs.

Hi @Raina Anand 

What have you tried thus far using the Scheduled Trigger?  

Please post an image of your rule trigger and the audit log details, explaining how it does not work as expected.

In both the automation documentation and the editor's trigger description, it links to information on how to make a CRON expression, including a guided CRON builder tool:

Kind regards,

Hi Bill, Thanks for your response. I have had successful use of the trigger when schedule a creation for 7 days out but I have no options to pick a date or anything like that. See attached

Please try selecting the "Use cron expression" link in the trigger and view the docs for the guided information on building a monthly expression.

@Raina Anand  Yo mate. 

Not sure how different it is on Data center but those two may help.

There are CRON calculators sort or speak, online I think I used that one last time: https://www.freeformatter.com/cron-expression-generator-quartz.html
