Hello, Firstly it took me 30 minutes to figure out how to post on here , so frustrating. Had to even google! Anyway, Running fresh install of Mautic 5 for first time. I want to do this: Create form with a date field - done Use date field as a condition to send email reminders. I created a campaign , selected the form, condition, form field, but from googling there is supposed to be a date operator, all i have is greater less then etc. I want to send emails on relative dates, like Datevalue -3 days, and Datevalue + 3 days. (before and after an event) based on form date not contact field date. Why? because a contact can submitted multiple forms with different dates. How to achieve that? thanks /j ---

Hi, Googling is good. Mautic 5 is not production ready. You don’t filter these infos in Campaign, but in segment. > **[Let Me Google That](https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=mautic%2Bdate%2Bbased%2Bsegment)** > > For all those people that find it more convenient to bother you with their question than to google it for themselves. Keep googling. You’ll find amazing guides. Joey ---

But segments are for contacts not form data as far i see. I want to use Contact Sources \> Campaign Forms. Select Condition \> Form field value \> date field. But the Date operator is missing. I realized too late that v5 is a RC felt buggy and i didn’t know why. Will downgrade. Spent too much time on this ---

Following this guide and others [Conditions | Mautic](https://docs.mautic.org/en/campaigns/using-campaign-builder/conditions) Date operate missing, i reinstalled v4 ![Capture](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/mautic/original/2X/b/b94f1cdd9a1f82bbdf69bec724b0dfe2c38284a0.png) Edit: ok its there for Contact fields, not Form Fields. ---

ok its there for Contact fields, not Form Fields. So i don’t know how to send email x days before or after an “event date” submitted in a form… ---

I understand mapping form field to custom contact field and creating a segment. Got it. But each user can submit the form multiple times, so the custom form field will just get over written. That’s why i was hoping to use the date field from the form submission itself but no go ☹ ---

If you have 5 form entries, how would you make a distinction? If you anyway use the last one, you can just save it in a custom field. ---

Good point! But i suppose i can have a previous condition : “Event date is in the future or X days in the past” To eliminate the old ones. I was hoping to let people submit events, and we follow up before and after with emails offering our media and pr services. Anyway, i will use the contact custom field for now which works. Most only submit one event. thanks for your time. /J
