Hi @mishrarakes 
You can create custom script actions to run your script.
Please share more information and if possible share your script from the scheduled job.
Will try to replicate the same with the flow designer.

sure, Here is a script

/***

var now = new GlideDateTime();

var firstDay = new GlideDateTime();

firstDay.setDayOfMonthLocalTime(1);

// 6 == saturday, 7 == sunday  ,1 == monday

while(firstDay.getDayOfWeek() == 6 || firstDay.getDayOfWeek() == 7){

    firstDay.addDaysUTC(1);

}

firstDay.setDisplayValue(firstDay.getDate() + " 08:00:00");

var inc = new GlideRecord('incident');

inc.initialize();

inc.short_description = "created Incident for the first working day of the month";

inc.description = "This incident was automatically created on " + firstDay.getDisplayValue();

inc.opened_at = firstDay;

inc.insert();

gs.info("Incident created for " + firstDay.getDisplayValue());

***/

You can achieve this without writing script.
PFB.

1. Create a flow with trigger type as "Scheduled -> Monthly -> 1st day at 00:00:00"

2. Create one Schedule (cmn_schedule) as per your required. In this example I took 8-5 weekdays. 

3. Use Wait for a duration of time flow logic to validate the working day by passing the run start Date/time and create the incident once the time is 8AM.

Let me know if you have any queries.
