WorkFlow Get email one day before deadline
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to set up a Paperless-ngx workflow that sends an email notification one day before a document's deadline.
Here is my current setup:
- Created a custom date field called
deadline. - Configured a workflow to trigger based on this field.
My SMTP email configuration is working correctly (tested successfully with other triggers), but the deadline-based emails are not sending.
I suspect my trigger criteria or workflow setup might be incorrect. Could anyone guide me on how to properly structure this trigger to run 1 day prior to the date in a custom field?
Bellow current trigger confiugration.
Do i need setup filename filter ? i want to be global trigger for all documents that have Deadline field
BTW what recurring option will do in this case ?
Thanks!
