Feature Request: Delay in Flows to be able to set to a specific date

+2

We are trying to create a flow where the delay isn’t so many days out from when a person enters the flow but set to a specific date.

Hi @dleon33,

I think this a great idea! I don’t know your particular circumstance, but you can do this with a bit of a workaround.

First, use the “Update Profile Property Action” in a Flow and set that specific date as a Custom Profile Property.

Next, in a separate Flow, create a “Date Property Triggered Flow” based on that profile property.

Now, you can have one flow that sets the date, and the other Flow that happens at (or before) the date you set.

Not sure if that’s super clear, but if not let me know and I’ll try to add some screenshots to help!

Did this topic or the replies in the thread help you find an answer to your question?
