Dear community,

I have the following workflow in Zapier:

This always leads to the following error message (sent every day):

 
Slack
The "Schedule At" field cannot be in the past. Please enter a value for "Schedule At" that is in the future.

It is the first time I work with a digest and please help me understand if these two configurations are correct?

Thanks for your help!

Hi there @greenhouseautomation,

Welcome to the Community! 🎉

I think the issue here might be in the Digest by Zapier step itself. Are you using “Digest by Zapier” as a scheduling step? If so, you may try replacing the ” Digest by Zapier” with the “Delay by Zapier - Delay until” action instead and add it before the Slack step:

Hopefully, this helps! 😊
