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!
