schedule an automation rule only on weekdays

[Karthik Sriraman]

Hi Team ,

We are currently using Jira cloud based Service desk . And there is a need for us to schedule an automation rule only on weekdays . Is there an app that does this for us in Jira Cloud ?

Many thanks in Advance.

Regards,

Karthik

Hi, @Karthik Sriraman ,

You could test this way to execute your rule during weekdays:

Then, add or copy the condition for the other 4 weekdays.

Documentation could help you :

Date Formats : https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/smart-values-date-and-time-functions/

and maybe Smart values - text fields (I didn't use in my example : https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/smart-values-text-fields/

Let me know it the rule rules :)

I am going to try this rule. You can also format it to do "does not contain" Saturday and Sunday to reduce the amount of duplicate rules you have to create!

Hi Karthik,

Thank you for your question.

I can confirm the link provided by Elifcan relates to the ScriptRunner for Jira Server documentation and not to ScriptRunner for Jira Cloud.

However, I can confirm that there are two ways to achieve you requirement with ScriptRunner for Jira Cloud and the first one is to use an Escalation Service as Elifcan mentioned and you can see the documentation for Escalation Services in ScriptRunner for Jira Cloud here.  The difference between the server version is that in Cloud you specify your schedule via a GUI rather than a Cron expression.

The second way is to define a Scheduled Job where you can specify the schedule based on a GUI that a custom script which you provide runs on and you can see the documentation for this feature here.

I hope this information helps.

Regards,

Kristian

Hello,

Script runner plugin has a feature called Escalation Service. You can run cron jobs with this feature. Script Runner is available for Jira Cloud. Although I never tested it on Cloud, I believe this would work for your needs. You can install with a trial license and check it out.
