I seem to be having a lot of problems getting my smart tasks to run properly (if at all). I have them set to send when I enter a date in a particular field. Sometimes they send, mostly they don't, or they go to people whose date field was filled long ago. I have set them to go 'on or after' 'today'. I have run repeated tests but most often nothing happens. It has also sent templates I didn't ask it to. The whole process is very frustrating.

Hi Wendy,
I have a few questions and suggestions:

Looks like #1 is my problem. I did what you said and it returned no results. What can we do about this?
We have workshops that we run every few months and have a schedule of emails we send every so often between when they register and when the workshop is held. We need it to trigger when I first enter the date of the workshop when they register in order for it to work properly. Do you have any suggestions?
I have selected 'run only once', I always choose from the drop down as opposed to typing in, and only have the one condition to start things off.

Hi Wendy,
The issue is one that we are aiming to fix in a future update. For reference, it has been logged as defect D-05665.
There is a workaround for the issue, as the issue only affects Date fields, and not Date/Time fields. I'll summarize the workaround steps below:
Run the lookup test I posted above again to see if contacts are now returned in the lookup

Just to be sure I checked to see what version we are running and it's Act! Pro Version 18.2.53.0, Update 2. Is this a problem with this version as well? I don't want to spend all sorts of time re-configuring things if it's not the right fix for my problem.
