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.

- [Calculate Every or Next Day of the Week - JSON included](https://community.make.com/t/calculate-every-or-next-day-of-the-week-json-included/40704)

# Output (ran on 7th June Friday)

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.

Apologies if this is such a noob question haha

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

I didn’t use `parseNumber` anywhere.

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](https://community.make.com/t/make-community-the-ultimate-topic/11682) 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:
