Date Calculation to trigger a notification

I am trying to create a workflow that will notify a user when a document is about to expire. I have an index field named Term with values in a restricted drop down list (30, 60, 90 and 120 days). I have a date field that will be my starting point. When the current date = expire date + the term number is when i want the notification to trigger.

Example - Expire date = November 5 2021
                  Term = 60 
                  Result should be September 5 2021 to send the notification

Any help would be appreciated


 

Hi Doug, 

first, you need to calculate the date for the notification.
For this, you can use an arithmetic expression with DateAdd() and store the result in a DateTime variable. 
Next, you can create a time delay step which delays until the date from your variable is reached.
Keep in mind that time delay needs a date with time. When writing a date without time to a date variable, the time is automatically set to 12 pm UTC.
You might need to use a second DateAdd() to set the time to a different value.

Once the DateTime is reached, your task is triggered.

Hope this helps.
