Wait for start date to be today

HI Team,

 

When change moves to scheduled state, it should wait till start date day.

for example if start date is 24th and change moved to scheduled state on 23rd then change should wait till 24th and then automatically move to implement state.

and now change should wait till end date , on end day date it should automatically move to closed.

I have developed a flow for this but its not working. Attaching flow that I am using (wait for condition) , please suggest.

Hi @rambo1 ,

 

I did the same configuration and worked for me (see as below) may be issue with the timezome, it usually runs in est check once

Option 2: you can use wait for duration , duration type relative duration as below (this gives you how long it would wait as well)

Configuration: Update 1 second in the wait for to trigger

Result: Actual Start date is 13th August

@rambo1 Instead of using Actual start date in Wait for condition, can you replace it with planned start date field and see if it works for you.
