Set auto reminder emails to be sent out 3 days before the finish date

I'm using a Gannt view spreadsheet and creating a timeline for event work. I'm trying to figure out how to set an automation that will send an email reminder to the contact in the "Assigned To" column 3 days before the "Finish" date column. I've read a few support blogs and I'm not finding anything to help!

Anyone know how to do this?

Is there a secret way that I can share the parent folder and ensure that any new files created will be shared with the same people? I…
I have a Pro plan but I cannot create ANY reports
I have a Pro plan but I cannot create ANY reports. The system does not allow me to choose a folder, and consequently a sheet to create a row report and suggests an upgrade to Business or Enterprise. I'm quite new to Smartsheet and feel a bit disappointed with this limitation, or maybe I'm just doing something wrong. Alberto
