Existe t-il la possibilité de déclencher une action en fonction d’une date ?  
Ou bien de l’état d’un champ ?

Par exemple, un champ date et un champ boolean.  
Le boolean est initialisé par un if-\>then-\>else. Lorsque que la date du champ date est égale à la date courante, le boolean passe à true. Ceci fonctionne.

Ce changement d’état peux ensuite déclencher une action ? L’idée c’est d’avoir une action temporelle. Lorsqu’une date est atteinte, un sms est automatiquement envoyé.

Ou bien, est-ce que la seule possibilité pour lancer une action, c’est d’appuyer sur un bouton ?

Correct. Only the user can launch an action when they do something, like pressing a button.

Hi @Jeff_Hager , do you think that it would be possible for @theom to do it with a “wait for conditions” action?

Even if that works, you would still have to click a button first. And keep the app on that device open until it fires.

That already sounds like it’s not doable, not taking into account a max timeout Glide may have set for that action.

No I don’t. ‘Wait for Condition’ should only be useful for waiting at most 1 minute or less. Even one minute is a bit extreme. Really only a few seconds at most. The wait action runs on the user’s device. If they close the app or navigate away from a particular screen, that action is most likely no longer running and waiting…and all subsequent actions won’t run at all.
