[SalesForce] Process Builder, date activation on TODAY()

i have a doubt for a Process i implemented.

In a custom object a have a date field calle Final_Date, i need to update another field of the object when the Final_Date + 1 is equals to TODAY().

So in process builder i have this condition:

([CustomObject__c].Final_Date__c + 1) = TODAY()

My question is that if this will automatically work? So far I´ve changing manually the dates so it works but i dont know if it will work when the conditions are met

No, that won't work the way you expect. Process Builders only evaluate when a record is created/modified. Instead, you'll want something that looks like this:

 [START]
    ↓
[RECORD]
    ↓
[ALWAYS TRUE] TRUE → [IMMEDIATE] TIME LAPSE → [SCHEDULED] → [STOP]
  FALSE              [ ACTIONS ]              [ ACTIONS ]
                                              1 DAYS AFTER FINAL DATE
    ↓                                         ACTION TO PERFORM
 [STOP]

Building a rule in the Process Builder is identical to how you'd build it in a Workflow Rule.
