    There are broadly two approaches:

    Workflow wait - you trigger a workflow when a record is created and then use the 'wait' until a specific date. See blog.clickdimensions.com/.../crm-workflows-wait-versus-timeout.html and www.powerobjects.com/.../setting-up-recurring-workflows-in-dynamics-crm-2016

    Scheduled Workflows - Where you define a workflow to run on a recurring schedule - blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/.../scheduling-recurring-workflows-in-microsoft-dynamics-crm-2011-online-and-on-premise

    Both have pros and cons. If you are simply wanting to send a reminder email before an appointment - then probably the first option where you create a workflow on create of an appointment and wait until 1 day before the scheduled date. The clever thing about these kind of workflow waits is that if the scheduled date changes, then the workflow wait adjusts it's self.

    Hope this helps

    Hi RP,

    Yes, it is possible in CRM by means of workflows. Can you explain the exact scenario?
