Hi everyone! I hope I explain this correctly since I’m not an Airtable guru. I created an Airtable automation with Gmail and completed a project yesterday. I want the client to receive an automated email confirming completion of the project today. Images of configuration and results are attached, but the email hasn’t been sent yet. I assumed it would have been sent by now and it hasn’t. I’m CST and currently it’s 10:55am. Am I missing anything?

Hm, and this automation has been turned on the whole time (like two days before), is that right?  I’m wondering whether this might be a timezone related issue where dates are stored as GMT, and so the automation may have been turned on during the window of time where it was already yesterday in GMT, but wasn’t yesterday for you?

For date related automation stuff, I sometimes find it useful to set the automation to trigger via a view instead, and so in this context it would only show project records that were completed yesterday.  This makes it easier to debug why the record isn’t meeting the conditions, does that make sense?
