Setting filters to send z-api whatsapp notifications

Hello, everyone.

I have a google sheet with different client’s appointments, in different date and time. I’m building a scenario to search rows and check the date and time of each row and send notifications on client’s whatsapp. I’ve put a router to send 4 different notifications by z-api in whatsapp, but i’m having trouble to set the filter.

example:

The scheduled date and time is: May 6th 2025 14:00

  • 1st reminder should be 24h before that.
  • 2nd reminder should be 2h before that.
  • 3rd reminder should be 1h before that.
  • 4th reminder should be 5 minutes before, sendind the google meet link.

Can anyone help me?


It’s sending all messages at the same time, now, and not some hours before the event.

1.4 is not a valid variable. It is not a string representation of a date and not in the format provided. Try replacing it with the variable containing the event date.

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:

3. Output Bundles of Modules

Please provide the output bundles of each of the relevant modules by running the scenario (you can also get this without re-running your scenario from the History tab).

Click on the white speech bubbles on the top-right of each module and select “Download input/output bundles”.

A. Upload as a Text File

Save each bundle contents in a plain text editor (without formatting) as a bundle.txt file.

You can upload the file here by clicking on this button:

B. Insert as Formatted Code Block

If you are unable to upload files on this forum, alternatively you can paste the formatted bundles.
These are the two ways to format text so that it won’t be modified by the forum:

  • Method 1: Type code block manually

    Add three backticks ``` before and after the content/bundle, like this:

    ```
    content goes here
    ```

  • Method 2. Highlight and click the format button in the editor

Providing the input/output bundles will allow others to replicate what is going on in the scenario, especially if there are complex data structures (nested arrays and collections) or if external services are involved, and help you with mapping the raw property names from collections.

Sharing these details will make it easier for others to assist you.
