Hi,
I’m trying to create a Scheduled job to send an email on a monthly basis.
I thought a trigger using a Metadata Time event + Keyword Value condition would do the trick, but I’m not having any luck getting it to fire.
Keyword Value I’m trying is:
%globals_date^date_format:dGi% is a Exact Match with 280130
Am I misusing the Metadata Time event here, or is there a much easier way to achieve this (without a manual action)? Cheers for any help.

Not quite sure what exactly you have tried/ done so far, but the way the metadata time trigger works is that once you have populated time field in the metadata, the trigger fires when the time is passed.
In the trigger, you have to monitor the metadata field where the time is set (use metadata time condition) and select the field.
In trigger actions, you can then reset the metadata date using set metadata value and set it to date in future (e.g. 1 month).
You can apply that metadata on one asset only, or many if you want to have monthly schedule from certain point in time (e.g. user creation date).
Thank you Petri - works like a charm.
Previously I was using the “default metadata date value” condition which I now realise wont make the condition fire.
