Automation for missed daily log

I've got a sheet that is a daily log for the check of pool chemicals. We've set up some automation to trigger if the values drop or exceed certain thresholds. However would also like to trigger a notification if the frontline staff forget to record the daily readings.

I tried trigger when a date is reached (Daily) and if the Date field wasn't Today. It's triggering the alert every day so this is not working.

Suggestions?

Thanks

Robin

    Hello @Robin Soprano

    To Trigger the automation aside from date you need to add a condition path.

    When a date is reached select custom, set the custom recurrence, add a condition path

    Select field (column to where daily readings recorded) "is not blank" then Alert someone (send to specific people or send to contacts in a cell)

    Hope this helps.
