I'm trying to set up automated workflow around events so that I am alerted about certain tasks in relation to the event date, not the date I created the event.
For example: If I have an event on Jan. 28, I need to be alerted about a task for that event that's due one month before. Then I need another alert for another task that's due two weeks before the event. Then another alert for a task that's due a week before, and another one a week after.
However, when I set up the automated tasks and due dates, they seem to be oriented on the date the event is created or edited. When I go into EDIT TASK, it asks for the due date. It gives the options of workflow rule trigger date, created time, modified time, check-in, from, or to. Then it let's me choose plus/minus X number of days. But when I go look at the tasks, the due dates are from the event creation date or edit date, not the date of the event itself.
Please help.
