Reminder - first and third Monday's of each month

#1

I have a very basic piston that looks for the first and third Monday of each month and sends me notification (it’s for street restrictions for the next day.) It has worked great until this month, when I noticed the first Monday was past the date I wanted to be notified prior to (1st and 3rd Tues of each month.) Because the first Monday didn’t happen until after the first Tues. (looking at a calendar it will make more sense) I missed the alert.

Any suggestions of what I can add/modify so I don’t have to worry about this happening again?

Thanks

Can you post up how your piston does it now? I have a couple ideas but want to make sure it’s not recreating the wheel.

Tried this one with some positive and negative testing. It works and would have caught the first Monday of May, even though it was preceded by a Tuesday. You can change the runtime if you want, but I just set it to noon on Sundays to have something in there for the timer.

Thanks, I’ll give it a try…

Somehow I got it in my head you wanted to be notified the day before (Sunday). If that’s not right and you want the notification on Monday, let me know and I’ll fix it. The formula needs a quick edit to send the message on Monday.

Yes, on Monday prior to the Tues. would be great
