Hi. As part of our marketing we run a five day masterclass and use automations to send out welcome emails and reminders each day. I am trying to use the if then statements to ensure that folks that come in on day 2 for example don’t get emails and texts from day 1; or that folks that come in on day 3 don’t receive email and texts from day 1 and 2. Basically I want them to drop into the automation based on the date they register. I keep hitting a wall and wonder if anyone has any ideas on how to accomplish this.

Hi @ninjanow
A good question, getting the logic right can be tricky.
Can I ask, is the masterclass running on a specific set of dates, e.g. 3rd to 5th April?
If so, your If/Else statements need to be based on those dates.
For example, if your masterclass started on the 3rd April, your first If/Else condition would need to be:
Current year (select Your timezone) Is 2023
And
Current Month (select Your timezone) is before April
OR
Current year (select Your timezone) Is 2023
And
Current Month (select Your timezone) Is April
And
Current Day of the Month (select Your timezone) is on or before 3
Yes path:
Send Day 1 email
Wait condition until following day
No path
Current year (select Your timezone) Is 2023
And
Current Month (select Your timezone) Is April
And
Current Day of the Month (select Your timezone) is 4
Yes path:
Send day 2 email
etc.
So, basically, you are building in the conditions to check whether the date they register is on or before day 1, or if not, which day of the Masterclass they register, and then send them the relevant emails.
Now, if your masterclass is not running on defined dates, then it might need to be done differently, so let me know how you are running it and I can see whether I can offer a solution.
I hope that helps.

Very grateful for your suggestion. Yes, the masterclasses are held on specific dates. I’m going to try this. Will report back how it works. Thank you!
