Been already using conditions related to email templates in my automation sequences along with the delay step. Works like a charm for now.

@Dace KraučukaTo be honest, in the list of finished, or at least planned automation features we expected support for the essentials, especially automations based on values of date field and date range field.
The current totally limited level of support for these fields is completely unusable. As many of us point out here:
When will we see this support please?
@Dace Kraučuka thank you very much for the update.

Being able to trigger an automation based on a date field would be amazing - e.g. 2 months before their renewal date, trigger this automation...
Or x days post this date (in a custom field) do this...

Thank you, that you are working on automations. The most important automation features for our company are:
- When an organization updates, update the deal for that organization (e.g. move the deal to a new phase) (it's sufficient, if that works for the most recently created deal of that organization or if it only works as long as there's exactly ONE deal for that organization)
- When a deal updates, associate it with the contact of the assigned organization (again it's sufficient that it only works for the most recently created contact of that organization (=employee) or if it only works if there's exactly ONE contact for that organization).
If these automation work, it would allow to create many powerful automations, esp. we could create an automation to automatically move deals through the pipeline and send emails to the correct contacts. That would be great value for our company!
If you need assistance or have questions, feel free to contact me any time!

@Amit Sarda - Pipedrive Consultant - AmitSarda.xyz I really envy your always positive attitude. Don't you miss automation based on "date field" or "date range field"? Do you have a hack to get around that?

One tweak I would like to see is: When replying or forwarding an email in the Pipedrive mail interface, Pipedrive drops the new email to the bottom of the thread. I assume many of the Pipedrive subscribers use Outlook, where the new email is at the top of the thread. It is confusing. Pipedrive requires me to scroll down to find the new email.
I just checked with support and they said there is nothing they can do about this unless it is re-programmed.

@Jesko +1 for that.
@lionfarmer +1 for that. It is so confusing...

Would automations replace the very few automations I have running in Zapier?? ie. When new Deal is opened, generate sequenced deal number,
When deal number is issued open named and numbered folder in BOX.com, a named and numbered folder in EVERNOTE, a named and numbered folder in gmail, add a named and numbered line in Google Sheet?
A Zapier is flaky at generating consistently... now they want me to add a 2 minute gap after the number is created it is less than practical...

I would like to have possibility to have following automation:
When Deal is won, update Deal's Organization "Sum of all closed deals" custom field
When Deal is won, update Deal's Organization "Last deal won" custom field
Both of this scenarios are currently unavailable in Automations and it's dissapointig as it looks as quite easy automation.

Automations based on products, would be awesome.
When deal contains "this X product" and "is won"; do Y
When product with "this/these tags" are updated, do ....
etc.
