In Azure DevOps, How to schedule a Release Pipeline for quarterly execution?

I have a release pipeline which triggers a PowerShell Script. I want to schedule this release pipeline for every quarter. There is no code change or build happening, just to run the same pipeline and same script. How to set up the quarterly execution of the Azure DevOps Release Pipeline?

You won't be able to run it out of the box as release pipelines doesn't support cron schedules. But you can combine yaml pipeline with cron schedule with Trigger Azure DevOps Pipeline extension to get this:

schedules:
- cron: "0 0 1 */3 *" 
  displayName: At 00:00 on day-of-month 1 in every 3rd month.
  branches:
    include:
      - master
  always: true

pool:
  vmImage: 'ubuntu-latest'

steps:
- task: TriggerPipeline@1
  inputs:
    serviceConnection: 'DevOps TheCodeManual'
    project: '4fa6b279-3db9-4cb0-aab8-e06c2ad550b2'
    Pipeline: 'Release'
    releaseDefinition: 'DevOps CI Release'
