Hi Gliders,

Wanted to know, if anyone has figured out how to get a live timer on the app, one that shows even the seconds counting down.  
Currently I can display hour and mins left, but the delay is about 10sec to update using the match column.

I think I saw it yesterday in production. I might be wrong. I’ll check again and confirm.

Edit: it is indeed in production

We need a timer that can loop, be reset by an action and when the timer reaches a certain value trigger actions.

Is there a way to do that well now ?

I can’t think of a way to do that inside Glide since actions are strictly user-triggered. What is your use case here?

I discovered this countdown. It is possible to set it via a parameter URL. The iframe is not perfect but I think it is possible to modify it via the CSS.  
In addition, it possible to create a math column to calculate the difference between Now and the date. When the result is 0 or less components appear
