**Your software** My Mautic version is: 2.16 My PHP version is: 7.3 **Your problem** My problem is: So… trying this again. I’ve set up a test campaign where an email is sent based on an anniversary (date). To test it I check the date, send the email, wait one minute and restart the campaign. ![Screen Shot 2020-02-18 at 9.35.40 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/mautic/original/2X/e/e1e1138bf4a19af9cc4d91ed9f61d462f2e389f4.png) the first email comes of course - then nothing. Yes - cron jobs are set (I’m even doing them manually just to test) I thought this was resolved in 2.16 with pull #7704 ? These errors are showing in the log: none Steps I have tried to fix the problem: ---

ok… so this works… ![Screen Shot 2020-02-18 at 10.13.03 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/mautic/original/2X/9/98450bebf276cf877d615fc203af6f062f13db68.png) The action to restart the campaign needs to be tied to the previous action - (sending the email), NOT the condition. I’ll run some more tests ---

Hi, your condition “check to see if today is the birthday” is Day or DayTime? Can you send Happy Birthday email in specific time (hour:minute) in contact’s birthday? ---

hi, it’s actually based on the anniversary of the birthdate field. (see image) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/mautic/original/2X/b/bdd47e0c5b5b4cd31734f0121e5437e71d651b1b.jpeg) And yes - you can schedule the email. Once the person’s anniversary is detected, the send email step can be scheduled. Once the email goes out - make it wait 364 days before it re-starts the campaign for that person ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/mautic/original/2X/2/2c5448ef1aadfc53baaab73bb1a8ee06a0cc2def.jpeg) I’m going to re-do the video and blog post about it - I’ll put the link in here. ---

This would make a great article for our newly forming knowledgebase if you’d be up for contributing it @imrodmartin? ---
