Hi Everyone,

 

I have a field on my Nintex form called "PUT Expiration Date."  When that date is completed on the form, I would like to set up a workflow that emails a User Group 7 days prior to that date.  Seems like a simple ask and probably a common need across the board.  But some of these Sharepoint/Nintex items aren't very intuitive.

 

Please help! Thanks!

Hello @anderj39 

 

Within Nintex Workflow Cloud, you can leverage the following actions to accomplish this:

Add time to date: This would be how many days PRIOR to the {date} and store it in a variable {varDate-7}

 

 

Find interval between dates: Find how many DAYS are between {Current date} and {varDate-7} and store that in a variable {varDaysBetween}

 

 

Pause for duration: Pause for {varDaysBetween}

 

 

Lastly, I would suggest to incorporate some sort of validation if the {Date} exists. If it does, proceed with the above approach, otherwise, if the {Date} is empty, do nothing. This approach would look like this:

Hope this helps!
