This is masterful, thanks!
I wanted to add: please create a Wait until Fixed Date step for Workflows.
I know I can use Workflows centered on date for this, but that just feels needlessly complex and kills other options.
Consider this use case: Today I wanted to create a workflow for an event. General steps:
- Enroll on form submission
- Send confirmation email
- Wait until X time before event
- Send reminder email with venue info etc.
Seems simple enough, until I realised that there’s no option for 3.
I then looked at centering the workflow around a date. That solved 3, but now I had to find a solution for 2, because that happens relative to when the contact sumbits the form (i.e. immediately). And you can’t do that in a workflow.
I realised that I could create a follow-up email or simple email on the form for this, but that required me to recreate from scratch the entire email I had just made. That’s a separate frustration altogether, but in short, my request:
Get rid of separate date-based workflows and add ‘wait until X time before/after X’ as workflow action.
Let me know if this is better off in a separate idea.
