The above is a view.

The idea is instead of trying to get an automation to trigger by 48 hours prior to the start date of an event, and sending an email, I thought perhaps, the automation being triggered when entered by a view that only displays events that are 48 hours(2 days) prior to an event. However, my view from the settings still shows, all the start dates.  

 

You’ve just got your conditionalities wrong, you either want “is after” or more likely “is within” (which will ask you for the number of days). “is after” will give you all records up to 2 days from now, whereas “is within" will show only those within the next two days. That should work as a 48 hour out trigger just fine.


Hi ​@Sean_Lake1,

 

There are two ways to trigger the automation:

  1. Using View Filter as shown in below image:
     

     
  2. Using Formula:
    Create a formula field: DATETIME_DIFF({Start Date}, TODAY(), 'days')
    Add a filter for 2 to show events exactly 48 hours away.

Let me know if you need more details! If this works, please mark it as solved. 👍
