Set wait step to a specific day

It would be awesome to set a wait step in the workflows to a specific day of the week so we can set a recurring workflow that will run on that day. Also to be able to set it for the 2nd, 3rd. 4th day of the week etc.

Changelog for scheduler trigger: https://highlevel.canny.io/changelog/workflow-scheduler-trigger

Divyam Bhadoria This is not completed. The Scheduler trigger only works for contactless workflows, which makes it a vastly underwhelming feature. The Scheduler trigger needs to work with workflows that have contacts.
Use Case: Every Monday, send an email to my subscribers reminder them of our weekly coaching call.
The above use case would work if the Subscriber trigger had filters to allow us to sort contacts based on tags or custom fields.

Divyam Bhadoria, I agree with Robert Wazlavek. You have built a great trigger for contactless workflows. However, that wasn’t the request. The request is for a wait step condition so contacts in that workflow get the next message on the correct schedule. Thank you.

While this is nice, it is not at all what the request was. It actually seems this is more complicated than the simplicity of the request.
You have created a trigger. The request was for Actions, not Triggers. The needed update to the action is simple…
Wait Action:
Expand current functionality to be more specific:
- 2-Step waits or the ability to add additional filters (example: wait until November 3 where November and 3 are in the same wait step). This offsets the HUGE current problem with having to “stack” wait steps. Currently, you have to add wait until November and then add another wait to wait until 3. However, if a contact is added on November 4, the sequence would process the next step on December 3.
- Add day or week and week of month functionality. For example, in the wait step, I may want to wait until the 3rd Thursday in October before proceeding to the next step. This is currently not possible and yet it is a core functionality of every other workflow builder I have used.

Divyam Bhadoria Agreed with the other comments here.
I would also love to have a Wait Action conditioned by a custom date field for Contacts and Custom Objects.

Recurring: Date and Time Trigger

I am promoter and I have an event every Saturday, I would like to be able to create an automation that runs every Saturday at 12pm unless I turn it off. It will be used as a reminder to my guest who have signed up to attend my events to remind them to come to the event that evening.

There are so many possibilities for workflows that can have a scheduler built into them so they fire based upon date/time not on a trigger.

Trigger Workflows Based on Fixed Calendar Dates For Festive Days Email Marketing!
J
Jesse Arroyo Vazquez
Currently, workflows in GoHighLevel can only be triggered by dynamic custom date fields (e.g., "X days before [Custom Date]"). However, there is no way to trigger a workflow based on a fixed calendar date, such as January 1st, Black Friday, or a client's anniversary that occurs the same day every year.
I have to send out the festive days emails manually for my clients... Seriously???
Use Case Examples:
- Launching New Year campaigns on January 1st automatically.
- Sending holiday emails (e.g., December 25th, July 4th).
- Running annual promotions or reminders on specific calendar dates.
- Celebrating fixed customer milestones like membership anniversaries.
- Automating Black Friday/Cyber Monday workflows every year.
Suggested Solution:
Add a workflow trigger option for "Calendar Date", where users can select a specific day and month (with or without the year). Bonus: allow recurring annual triggers.
Benefits:
- More precise and automated campaign scheduling.
- Less reliance on custom workarounds or Zapier.
- Opens the door to better seasonal and event-based marketing.
PLEASE, Upvote this idea! Please!

Create a Daily Loop
A
Antigone Klima
I'd love to be able to loop an event start to be every day at a specific time, such as 10am. At the moment, I can loop weekly by setting the event to Current Day = Tuesday 10am, but a specific day must be selected. I'd love to be able to set the event start to Current Day = TODAY, not a specific day of the week, to create a daily loop

On the automatic texts, it would be awesome if we could time the texts to the time of day it sends it out. Example, "Good MORNING Zak, or Good AFTERNOON Zak, or Good EVENING Zak". I don't see any options where it can specify morning, afternoon or evening.

New Feature - Schedule Workflows Manually
R
Robert Wazlavek
A really cool new feature would be if we could schedule workflows manually.
For example, let's say you have a drip campaign you've created inside a workflow. Let's say you want a contact to enter this drip campaign workflow 3 days from today.
It would be super awesome if we could click "Schedule Workflow", choose the exact date/time we want the workflow to activate, choose the contact we want to enter the workflow, and then click "submit".
This would great a ton of additional power for GHL users with workflows/automations. There are tons of other use cases, I'm sure.

It's published. I have created this custom workflow action that lets you wait on 2nd , 3rd, 4th etc. day of the week. You can even select the time and timezone when to resume the workflow. It's called "Wait - Schedule".
M
Mohammad Touseef
I'm working on creating a custom action for this.
Help me make it better.
Suggestion and Feedbacks are appreciated.
