    Hi @Liz_Snavely


    first of all, you should start by creating a sheet with a "due date" column (date) and an "owner" column (contact list, so there is an email "behind") and a task for example.


    Then, set up a workflow like this :


    that should get you started and then you can build a more complex workflow on that.

    hope this helps,

    best regards

    You can set up alerts based on a Date column in your sheet by using a Date based trigger! Here's more information - Create a time-based automated workflow

    As long as you have a Date column in your sheet that notes the "internal due date", you can set your alert to trigger On, Before, or After that date:
