SP date issue

Question

My workflow was set with 2nd option as 'start automatically when a new item is added'. Condition is 'Reminder Date' equal to current date 'Today', then send email to the user. In SharePoint task list, 'Reminder Date' was set up 'Date only', default value 'Today's Date'.

When I added a task in the new line, 'Reminder Date' will be automatically populated as '5/21/2021' which is today's data, and show workflow in 'Success'. However, I never receive an email.

I also change 'Reminder Date' to 'Date and Time' format in SP, the workflow shows 'success' but I still didn't see any email in my Outlook. Can anyone help? Your assistance will be appreciated.

@Annie Tang ,

Add a new action "Log to history list" after the email action:

Then we will see the information in workflow history if the email has been sent:

Per my test I could receive the email successfully:

Make sure you have configured outgoing email at farm level(Central Administration> System settings> Configure outgoing email) and the web application level(Central Administration> Manage web applications>select the web application> General settings>Outgoing E-mail ), and the related exchange server works well.
