Is it possible to create a filter in order to check if a date field , for instance payment day is today?

I´d like to check this dynamic info before run the zap. Is it possible?

Hi @acaruso 

Good question.

 

You could add a formula column in the GSheet to check if the Date = Today.
 

OR try using a Formatter > Date / Time > Compare Dates step in the Zap which will output whether the Dates are the same to then check that variable in the Filter step.

 

Otherwise, I’d recommend using Airtable instead of GSheets.

Airtable has Views.

Views have Filters. (e.g. Date = Today)

Views can be used to trigger Zaps.
