How to send an email the following month?

Hello,

I have a problem.

My clients have mortgages that end on a specific date. I would like to send them an email 1 month after this date.

So I have created a Marketo field "Date": end_mortgage-credit.

In the flow of my smart campaign, how is it that I can automatically send an email one month after a specific date?

Currently I use the ;
if end_mortgage_credit between 01/03/2020 to 31/03/2020
send email end credit.

This operation is not at all automatic because I am obliged to choose a specific date. So the following I'll repeat my operation... Not really automatic marketing

You don't send the email in the flow.

You merely set the value -- this is your upcoming reminder date, that can be consulted in other contexts.


Then have a batch campaign that sends to everyone whose reminder date is today.

Set another Date field, call it Reminder Date (for example) to

    {{lead.First Date Field}} + 30 days

(using Change Data Value).

Run a daily batch to everyone whose {{lead.Reminder Date}} is today.

Not just 

   -14 days

the new value is

   {{lead.fv_end_mortgage_credit}} - 14 days

AAAHHH I don't achieve want I want do ! 

In my flow I've done the following thing

And finally,

It has send the email 14 days before the end_mortgage_credit but in my mail It has changed the date of my "fv_end_mortgage_credit" so it's wrong. 

Why do I need to create a new field "reminder date" if I take the mortgage credit as referencies ? 

Could you show me an another example in your screen ? I get crazy   

I have also tried to make this but it doesn't work

Just create another Date field! That was the original concept. You can easily keep 1 or more Date fields a certain number of days before/after a master Date field.
