Need to run automation on 1st day of every month
Is there way to set an automation TRIGGER to run on the 1st day of every month?
All I can find are ways to pick specific days or wait X days, which can't quite get where I need.
Hey Jeffrey Young - is "Recurring Campaigns" what you are looking for?
Jakson A No, I need to run a non-email campaign automation.
Jeffrey Young ah, gotcha!
You can achieve this with some little tricks mimicking a loop, like we do in programming (and math) - add a custom field where you will store the next date you wish the automation will run (1st day of the next month). Create a tag that will start the automation. First step - remove the tag. Second - wait until (defined by the custom field). Now after the date has come - add all the step you wish. After them - add the tag back (creating the loop).
Now the tricky part that isn't built-in with FCRM - you need to change the date of the custom field to the next 1st day of the next month. You can easily do this with the some custom PHP code. Good luck.
Assaf Manor I think I've got this working. thanks for the suggestion.
