I have a workflow with a Delay Until and Delay Date that sometimes will on a date and time that is after now. Example
In the example below, the worksflow was triggered on the 14th of May at 0941 hrs and delayed until is 2025-05-14 08:00 hrs
The workflow did not continue as I suspect this function does not support past dates and times. If this is correct, how can I solve this?

Hello @sandefjordtk,

Yes, you're right, the Delay Until action does not work for past dates. To ensure the delay functions correctly, please make sure that the mapped date is always in the future.

To avoid such errors, we recommend using the Current Date action to fetch the present date and then adding a Filter step to check if the delay date is greater than the current date before proceeding.
