Hi, @alona budovoi!

 

You can identify the day of the week using conditions:

  • For each weekday you set a “Current Time” condition
  • Select between / time = 00:00 to 23:59 / Days = Mon/ Tue/ Wed…
  • Repeat for each weekday and you'll be able to set different flows depending on the condition

 


 

For your date field question, maybe this helps:

  • Create a Date Custom Field
  • Include an Action in your flow with Set User Field
  • Select your Date Field and define it as Set to the date of the action
  • Include an Offset with the number of days you wish

@alona budovoi Yes you can!

What I usually do is this:

  1. Set a date/time user field with the current time of the action
  2. Set a text user field with the date/time user field I used before, and use the custom format to show ONLY the way of the week, like this:
  3. Then, I use a condition to check if it’s Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc.

Descobri, eu tinha criado dois campos “Date”, e não “Text” o segundo 😅
