Workflow Send Email - Date Field

đź’¬ General Discussion
1

We have workflow where we have the below configurations set.

  1. Run: always
  2. Run on: All Records
  3. Repeated Runs: yes

Conditions:
Date field → Equal To → Any Change

Actions:
Send Email → To → User → USERNAME

But, when we change date and save it, user does not receive any email and we do not have any errors in the log files.

Is there any solution for it?

“any change” does not work in my experience. Try to figure out a different logic.

Got it, thank you for the reply. :partying_face:

Usually, we put date which is in the past. So, could we use Date value and date values Now + 0 Days? :thinking: :thinking:

the problem I think is “any change” never returns true. It broke a while back if my memory serves me corretly but please test with a simpler workflow against “any change” and see if it fires. From memory I’m pretty sure its broken.

Yes, for us any change is not sending an email every time, it looks like broken.

Instead of that we are using date value → Now + 0 Days logic to run the workflow.

You don’t need any date conditon (based on what you’ve setup) if you remove it and have repeated runs on, it will run every time the record saves regardless of the date.

Ohh :hushed_face: I never thought about that. I thought we need to have at least one condition in order to workflow run.

Everyday we learn something new :star:

Ideally, you’re right, if “any change” worked you would want to run it only on any change. It really only needs to run if that field changes. One of these days I’m going to try and dive into that one and figure out why its not returning true.
