Day of the week through the Expressions section in AJO

[dparraabad]

Hi everyone,

How can I get the day of the week from the expressions section in Adobe Journey Optimizer? I was trying the following way, but I don't see a function that allows me to get if it is Saturday or Sunday based on the now() function.

Regards,

Hi @dparraabad ,

You can use something like below

Hi Kumar, 

That is right, but I can't see the daysOfWeek() function in the expression of wait section.

If it is in the condition nodes, you can use the following option.

Hi Dugganab, 

That is right, with that strategy we can know if the day is Saturday or Sunday, but due to node limit issues in the Journey, we are looking to apply 1 custom wait that applies a specific amount of days if it is Saturday or Sunday.

It should work like this:
1. If the customer arrives at the conditional and today is Monday-Friday, send the notification.
2. If the customer arrives on parole on Saturday, apply a 2-day wait, until he/she arrives on Monday.
3. If the customer arrives on parole on Sunday, apply a 1-day wait until he arrives on Monday.

Take a look here. I explained this approach.

Hi David,

Thanks for the prompt reply, is it possible to do it in 1 wait? It would be an if inside the custom wait, but I can't find a way to get the day of the week through the now() function. This is because we are reaching the node limit of the journey.
