"Day of week" check in campaign Condition elements

Dale Halaway

Hi there, it would be helpful to have conditions be able to check for the day-of-week so that a logic branch can be used in campaigns. Currently, to do this, we can only choose a specific date... so for a campaign that relies on a day of week logic branch, manual intervention is required on a weekly basis to update the condition's "specific date" so that it correlates with the day of week intended.

Thanks for the feature request! I can see how it would simplify waiting until Tuesday.

This is a related technique for some campaigns: Wait elements do have a day of week option that doesn't rely on a fixed date. A Wait element such as the one in the image could be set to wait until the day of the week is Wednesday, and then send the contact through. 

You can combine these Waits with static dates, of course; a trigger for Dec. 1, 2020 could have a wait below it for "Wednesday", and the contact would flow through on the first Wednesday of the month on or after Dec. 1. 

But we see the value in a day of week condition, so we'll leave this up to see how much interest is generated by this request!
