Hello, I am trying to send an email based on a custom date condition. I am following this article here.

> **[How to Use Custom Date Conditions in a Campaign - Mautic](https://mautic.com/help/custom-date-conditions/)**
>
> As of the September 2017 update (Mautic 2.10), you can now create a condition in a campaign that allows you to set an action for any date relative to the value in a date field on contact record.

I want to send am email to a user who’s expiration expires in 2 days. Here is what the campaign looks like and the custom date condition…

To test this, I set the users expiration date to 2 days in the future and add them to the campaign. However, the campaign fails and does not send the email. I’m not sure what is wrong. Any suggestions?

Thanks

You can set the condition for current time, not for -2 days that is custom date, you can check if current date matches the expiration date, then test it via increase date of system 2 days after.
