@GauravCh2, You can have a journey schedule once per week and within the journey using condition activity (data source option), you will be able to create a path to let profiles flow through on a Third Monday using this expression.

in(toDateOnly(now()),[toDateOnly("2024-01-15"),toDateOnly("2024-02-19"),toDateOnly("2024-03-18"),toDateOnly("2024-04-15"),toDateOnly("2024-05-20"),toDateOnly("2024-06-17")])

You can validate this by configuring it on the following lines -

• Leverage time condition to restrict it to only mondays 
• Use another condition to ensure it's the third monday by using the day part from now() function and by checking its > 14 and <=21

On first condition "On Monday" what if its not Monday? profile won't move ahead in journey? I think we need a wait condition here to handle other days. Let me test and let you know.

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

I'm working on AJO use case which is similar to your use case- 

"The email should be sent via journey on 'third Thursday' of each month."

I tried multiple condition expressions to achieve this but was unsuccessful.

Can you please help me out with expression without manually updating the dates very month, as you have worked on this?

Schedule your journey weekly and firstly checks if its Thu and the use this function in next condition. This way journey will run every week and check for Thu, and if its Thu then it will check this below function for "third thu"

toInteger(substr(toString(now()),8,10))>7 and toInteger(substr(toString(now()),8,10))<15

Hey there, if what i want is send an email on 2nd and 4th Monday of every Month, what is the range that I should check with the day part of now() function?

For the third monday you said the day part of now() should be  > 14 and <= 21, but how do you know that's the range? I'm curious about that.
