Every month in the year has a different number of days (28, 29, 30, or 31). How can you set up your Autopilot rules to always run on the last day of the month, regardless of the number of days in the month?

Use Negative Numbers in the "Day" Field

Use negative numbers in the "on day" field when setting up when your Autopilot rule should run!

This will ensure that the rule always runs on the last day of the month, regardless of how many days there are in the month.

To start the process on the last day of the month, put -1 in the "day" field:

To start the process on the second to last day of the month, put -2 in the "day" field.

You can use any negative number up to -15 in the field.

Note that if you put 29, 30, or 31 days into the field, it will warn you that the rule will not run if there isn't a 29th, 30th, or 31st day in the given month, and recommend that you use negative numbers instead.

And there you go! That's how to set your Autopilot rules to always run on the last day of the month, regardless of the number of days in the month.
