I want to send a notification on 01-02-2025, so what should I select in the Send Alert On field?

You can do customization to add more options and add logic as required.

If you want to send reminders on the 1st and 20th of every month, you can use Frappe’s cron job.

          				send_email=False,
          				attachments=attachments,
          				cc=cc,
          				bcc=bcc,
          				communication_type="Automated Message",
          			).get("name")
          			# set the outgoing email account because we did in fact send it via sendmail above
          			comm = frappe.get_doc("Communication", communication)
          			comm.get_outgoing_email_account()
          
          		frappe.sendmail(
          			recipients=recipients,
          			subject=subject,
          			sender=sender,
          			cc=cc,
          			bcc=bcc,
          			message=message,
          			reference_doctype=get_reference_doctype(doc),
          			reference_name=get_reference_name(doc),
          			attachments=attachments,
          			expose_recipients="header",

This tool can help you to set proper detail in cron

@PRaful_9898
what does “01-02-2025” mean
is it stored in a field in the doctype or something else

ys its a date field. stored date (01-02-2025) in that field .i need to send the reminder (email) on that date so i set like this =====>

Here i select Days After and set 0 . so the reminder (email) will send on that day (01-02-2025)

Else you can use custom and in the condition

doc.due_date==nowdate()
