Add conditional logic to reminder emails for checklist steps

For schools that don't use particular deadlines, but instead rolling admissions, conditional logic for triggering reminder emails, or to create deadlines for later checklist steps would be helpful. For example, once a file is complete and the interview step is available, trigger an email to encourage families to sign up for an interview. Or once the decision has been issued, create a deadline based on the date issued for the decision to be made, and the contract to be returned.

    I believe one of the first Ideas posted about conditional formatting was around 2015. After a quick seach I have found additional Ideas with the same premiss (listed below); we need conditional formatting options on forms, applications, contracts, etc. If you vote for this Idea, please vote for all of these other Ideas from the past. Better yet could someone at BB combine them and start considering implementation. PLEASE!!!

    If you find others, please post them here so we can collectively push this idea forward.

    In fact, on the same checklist step, when you click the Admissions Calendar Reminder on the step, "X-days After Requested" is already an option, just not for the Reminder Notification!

    This is such a good idea! Would save us tons of time and make our communications much more effective.

    We've been asking for this for years. Please implement. It makes things much more difficult than they need to be when we continually have to update due dates.
