Hello, I'm still stucked without help for this workflow that does not
work.
I sent about 6-7 weeks ago a letter to this group asking for help.
Still, I have no solution at hand for my problem. I'll explain it
again, maybe some of you can help me. And please don't just tell me
that It does work for you, I'm sure there are plenty of people that
doesn't have this problem, please tell me HOW do you think I can work
it out.
I run a group that have periodic meetings arranged and published in
iCal to a dotMac site. The meetings are always coordinated by
different people, I need to send a reminder email about 1 week in
advance so nobody forgets their turn (every 2-3 months).
I used to have this workflow that made this automatically for me.
Since I bought a new laptop (one with leopard) this stopped working. I
think I've isolated the problem to when a date is included. My
original workflow looked like this:
1. Find events in iCal whose calendar is "Group" and whose start date
is "next week"
2. Event summary
3. New mail message to "email@hidden", with Subject "NExt week
meetings"
It worked flawlessly in my Tiger iBook. Now it doesn't work, the first
step doesn't render any result. IF I remove the start date, it gives
me ALL the events in the group calendar, the ones that had already
happened and the ones that are coming.
As the workflow worked without the date, I removed it, trying to add
it later with a "Filter iCal items" action to select the ones coming
next week. This action broke the workflow again.
PLEASE HELP!!
I'll add some pictures to exemplify it:
1. Find events WITH DATE FILTER (of course there are events from the
group coming next week).
2. The same action WITHOUT a date filter
3. The same action that found all the events, now with a "Filter by
date" action (that breaks the workflow again). Please note that it can
be ANY date included, it doesn't matter, it breaks the flow anyhow.
