Is there a way to anticipate a future date by having a date stamp token + 1 day/week/month?

Hi Bentacular,
I don't think that's possible with the datestamp. Depending on the usecase it would be possible to trigger the campaign, use a wait step in the campaign and then set the timestamp.

Best regards

Steffen's suggesion is simple and reliable. I like it.

There is a way to add or substract days if going the programmatic route suits you.

You could fetch the token, resource to JavaScript/jQuery to add/substract days and then update through a webhook.

Steffen's suggesion is really the way to go if I am understanding the requirement correctly.

The problem with the wait step is I have to wait until the trigger is activated that day to know the date. By that time, it's too late. I want to know 2 weeks in advance when a trigger is about to get tripped

Hi Bentacular,
I don't think that's possible just with configuring in Marketo. As Breno mentioned webhooks could be the way to go.

Best regards

Steffen
