Practical example: 

Calculate the end date of a contract based on a date property

In this scenario, a contract is signed between you and a client. The DoF or date of fulfillment is based on the contract term's length. This is expressed in days. You want to use the date calculator to find out the contract's end date and to determine a reminder date for your team and the client. With the date calculator on the PocketKnife HubSpot add on, you can:

  1. Create a contact Workflow with the contract start date as the trigger.
  2. Add the terms to the start date and store the result in a property.
  3. Use the end date to subtract 30 days.
  4. Store in the reminder date.
  5. From there, create a new workflow triggered by the reminder date property.
