Find the upcoming Saturday of a given date

How To
1

Hello everyone! I’m in a bit of a pickle. I’m trying to create an email automation that sends an email every Saturday after a specific date. For example, the specific date is July 2, 2024 I want the email to send at the coming Saturday after that which is July 6, 2024.

Ofcourse the specific date is not always going to be July 2. How does one accomplish this? haha thank you!

Thank you so much in advance!

This might help, calculate next day of the week. I provided the Module Export there.

Hello @samliew. quick follow-up question haha. I’m pretty pretty new to this and am clueless on how I actually apply this to my canvas. I just imported the json file you attached, added nothing else and ran the module and received this error.

It runs out of the box. If you changed something make sure the formula is still valid.

No problem, glad I could help!

I should have probably reposted it as a separate showcase thread.

1. If anyone has a new question in the future, please start a new thread. This makes it easier for others with the same problem to search for the answers to specific questions, and you are more likely to receive help since newer questions are monitored closely.

2. The Make Community guidelines encourages users to try to mark helpful replies as solutions to help keep the Community organized.

This marks the topic as solved, so that:

  • others can save time when catching up with the latest activity here, and
  • allows others to quickly jump to the solution if they come across the same problem

To do this, simply click the checkbox at the bottom of the post that answers your question:
