email automation question

Hello,

I have a column in one of my Airtables that contains the date of when a piece of information was published on my site.

I am trying to set an automation that looks at each row of my table every day and sends an email if any record i have becomes 60 days after the date I enter in the "Date" column. 

To test out the automation:

  • I set the date for one of my rows of when it was published to 3/20/2024 (this is now 3 days since that date)

 

  • i am setting the trigger to just be 1 day after the date.  The condition is "When ["date"] [is after] [number of days ago] [1], send me an email

For some reason, when i set this all up, it tells me that the table does not contain any records that match the provided filters.

 

I don't quite understand this because in my test above, it is now 3 days after 3/20/24 so based on the conditions i set up, it is at least 1 day after 3/20/24, so shouldn't it return my test record and then be able to send me out a test email?

Appreciate any clarifications about what I'm not doing or understanding correctly. 

 

thanks so much,
Matt

Perhaps try using "Is number of days ago" instead?

That worked.  Thanks for the suggestion.
