I would like to figure out how long a series will last on the basis of the sum of several wait blocks. For instance, if I have the following steps and wait blocks:Wait block = 10 daysBanner up to 6 daysWait block = 5 daysBanner up to 2 days How should I compute the min and max duration of this sequence ? Based on my current understanding it would be : Min = 10 + 5 + 1 = 16 days ?Max = 10 + 6 + 2 = 18 days ? When we add a wait block of 10 days, the subsequent event starts on day 10 or 11 ?

Wait block: how long will last a series?

I would like to figure out how long a series will last on the basis of the sum of several wait blocks.

For instance, if I have the following steps and wait blocks:

How should I compute the min and max duration of this sequence ? Based on my current understanding it would be :

Min = 10 + 5 + 1 = 16 days ?

Max = 10 + 6 + 2 = 18 days ?

When we add a wait block of 10 days, the subsequent event starts on day 10 or 11 ?

👋Hi @user312 , I think it will be like this:

Min = 15 Days and 1 Minute

Max = 23 Days

In my experience 1 day is a full 24-hour cycle, then it's going to the next step. For 10 days, it will be 240 Hours.

Thank you @roy s11

I would like to simulate a free trial count down using a banner over a period of 30 days.

To do so I have built a series with 30 banner steps lasting up to 1 day. Not sure it will work but I will try and let you know here

@user312 , In your case I'm suggesting using data attributes - That way will be much easier.

1. Create a data attribute - "Trial Left" and send Intercom data, How many days are left.

2. Then display data in banners via data attribute, like this:

triallet In this way users will always get real and correct information, it's also easy to set-up and track.

Hope this will be helpful, Have a great day.

Thanks @roy s11 ! Very useful ;)
