Delay by Zapier is sending email instantly rather than waiting until delay date

Hi,

I am trying to create a Zap that sends out multiple reminders for invoices which are Overdue in my Xero account. 

My idea was to create a trigger for New Sales Invoice using the Xero app.  Then I would use the Delay Until function to schedule when the reminders are sent. 

 

I have loaded the delay until dates into a comma separated list using formatter:

 

 

I have then created a loop to loop through the dates:

 

 

Within the loop I have created the delay until action:

 

 

Within the loop I then create the MailerSend action:

When this Zap is run, it sends the same email to the test email address 3 times.  There is no delay applied.  I have received all 3 emails today and no emails have been delayed.

 

Any idea whats gone wrong here?

 

Thanks

Hi @BradE 

Date looks like July 12, 2021 (YYYY-MM-DD) and the handle past setting of 0 is to always continue.
