Hello i need help wiht this:
How can I create an automated email sending program in Make on the 15th and 30th, but if these days fall on a Saturday, can I have Make send them on Fridays?

Hey there,
well this is a bit tricky,
Maybe have a scenario run on the 14th and 29th - if its a Friday it will run and store data in a data store that it ran, and if its not a Friday it will trigger a second scenario that only runs on the 15th and on the 30th. It will first check if the data store is empty and only run if it is, then it will empty the data store regardless.

If you need further assistance, please provide the following:
1. Relevant Screenshots
Could you please share screenshots of your full scenario? Also include screenshots of any error messages, module settings (fields), relevant filter settings (conditions), and module output bundles. We need to see what you’re working with to give you the best advice.
You can upload images here using the Upload icon in the text editor:
We would appreciate it if you could upload screenshots here instead of linking to them outside of the forum. This allows us to zoom in on the image when clicked, and prevent tracking cookies from third-party websites.
2. Scenario Blueprint
Please export the scenario blueprint. Providing your scenario blueprint file will allow others to quickly recreate and see how you have set up the mappings in each module, and also allows us take screenshots or provide module exports of any solutions we have for you in return - this would greatly benefit you in implementing our suggestions as you can simply paste module exports back into your scenario editor!
To export your scenario blueprint, click the three dots at the bottom of the editor then choose ‘Export Blueprint’.
You can upload the file here by clicking on this button:
Sharing these details will make it easier for others to assist you.
Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
