If you want to define a time period in a condition instead of individual, fixed days (e.g. the condition of the date applies on at least one day within 7 days), you only need to create a single automation, and the time period can be defined using a combination of past and future.
In the example below, we want to execute an action when the creation date is in the following time period:
Older than 3 days in the future AND Younger than 4 days in the past .
Alternatives that would lead to the same result:
Older than 4 days in the future AND younger than 3 days in the past.
Older than 2 days in the future AND younger than 5 days in the past.
etc.
The advantage of this period is that we do not have to create 7 individual automations for each day:
The advantage of this period is that we do not have to create 7 individual automations for each day:
- Automation = if created on date 7 days ago
- Automation = if created on date 6 days ago
etc.
