hey, i'm trying to create an alert notification in case some of the dates are not matching in the form. main problem is that i cannot use form rule(Alert) in the automation, as it would need to be triggered on menu action 'Upon instance saving..'. is there any way around this ?

Hi Arthuzad,
Automations/Business Rules - look at them as backend, processed by server - they give you possibility to use SQL, and read the database.
Form Rules - this is a frontend - here you can use JS, and everything done in a form rule happens on the browser instance of specific user.
Alert - is possible to use as a Form Rule, it's on front-end, thus it's not possible to use Alert inside of Automation.
If you want to check if the form is filled correctly but on the server side, you should use Validate Form action*
