When using Reach Specified Time in Record, the most common questions are about field selection, trigger scope, and failure checks. Here are 3 common answers.
FAQ
Can I use multiple date fields in one trigger?
- One trigger supports only one date field.
- If you need multiple date fields to trigger separately, create multiple automation workflows.
- Splitting workflows by business scenario also makes later maintenance easier.
Why were some records not triggered?
- Check whether the record already has a valid value in the selected date field.
- Confirm whether you added extra conditions and whether the record matches those conditions.
- If Use the time in the date field is turned on, make sure the stored time is the expected one.
What should I do if the trigger fails?
- Click Logs on the left side to review the failure reason.
- Check whether the date field is empty, whether the target table still exists, and whether the field settings are correct.
- After fixing the setup, save and enable the workflow again, then monitor later runs.
