Increment the value of a Num field via automations.

I'm using a combination of webhooks and automations to fire off emails on a 48 hour schedule for certain records. I have a num field that defaults to 0 in this table and I am wanting to increment that...

If you set the new value as 1 + [Field] the field will set to 1. The reverse operation will set it to the value currently in the field. 

For now, I'm going to create a hidden calculated number field equal to [Field] +1 and copy the value over every time the automation runs.
