Check if {{now}} is a business day - Smart values

[Gustavo Maia]

Hi,

I'm trying to create an automation rule that sends an email when an SLA will breach in 10 minutes.

The point I am facing troubles is that I want the email to be sent only if {{now}} is a business day.

How can I achieve that?

Hi @Gustavo Maia 

You could try to increment {{now}} by one business day, and then decrement and see if it matches the date with an advanced condition before proceeding.  Something like:

• First value: {{now.jiraDate}}
• equals...
• Second value: {{now.toBusinessDay.toBusinessDayBackwards.jiraDate}}

Best regards,
Bill

Hi @Bill Sheboy 

works this also with a variable like:

{{variable.jiraDate}}

{{variable.toBusinessDay.toBusinessDayBackwards.jiraDate}}

It doesn't work for me

Kind regards,

Hi @Thies Uhlenbruch 

Created variables are text type, and so must be converted with .toDate before using the date/time functions with them.

Kind regards,
Bill
