Auto Calculate Specific Day of the Month Formula


Forum|alt.badge.img+1

Hi all,

I am looking to use a formula in esignature to autocalculate the 5th day of the following month from when the user is signing the document. 

Has anyone done something similar in the past? Is this even possible?

 

Thanks for the help in advance!

Hi ​@hmoldovan !

From what I understand, you’re looking to know what the 5th business day of the following month, right?
I don’t think it’s possible to do direct in DS eSignature, as it would require an external database for queries (which Docusign does not currently offer). If you do this via API, having an external system to Get the information and later correct it, this would be possible - but it requires development on your part.


In any case, I will share below all the commands related to Dates that can be used in formula field. I hope it helps you!

Hey Vinicius! Yes, that’s correct. We’re looking to do the 5th business day of the following month from when the agreement is signed.

 

Thank you for the help! That’s what I was thinking that it would require development - thank you for confirming that.
