how can I create an if/else condition that answers YES if a contact reaches this point between two dates (say, 10/10/24 and 10/11/24) and NO if the contact reaches this point on another date?
When you say reaches this point, what is the action of that point? Is it subscribes to something, purchases something, etc.?
You can use If/Else conditions in an automation to filter by the “current day of the month is on or after” and “current day of the month is on or before” to take care of the date range.
Hi Mika, thanks for your response. The automation is triggered by adding a tag and this occurs when a participant registers for an event. This can happen between say 5 months out and the day before the event. I want to use this If/Else to give a different email journey (ie. different number of emails between registration and event) to people who register at different times.
Your solution is great if the range is within the same month, but doesn’t allow for the range to be say, 10/10/24 - 10/11/24.
Also, I need to account for someone arriving at this If/else on a month that is not October or November. Eg, if I use ‘Current month is October’ ‘Current day is on or after 10’ then this will not be triggered if the participant arrives in September.
Thanks for your help
Sorry I should’ve added this beforehand:
So you could still use this range, and make the If/Else path different for the one whose month is November, September, etc.
Let’s say I registered for your event September 15th. I would go through the automation above and land on the right sequence of emails pictured. If I registered October 10 or 11, I would go through the left sequence of emails.
You could put the if/else for every month if you wanted to. You could even create separate automations for each month. There is a lot of flexibility when set up correctly. This is just one example.
Let me know if you have more questions!
