Time-based actions might come to Glide later this year. At the moment, the only way you can access data in a Glide Table through the API is with a Business/Enterprise plan.

I’ve just worked out a way to do it via Zapier… probably not the easiest way but it did the job.
Just tested it out and sent an email to myself today. I plan to use this to send reminder emails to App users. Will tweak to add some complexity, but this is the process in basic terms.
**Steps:**
**1) Trigger - Schedule by Zapier**
- Unfortunately you have to set it up for a regular occurence but you can apply a filter so it only applies on one particular day.
- I selected **EveryDay** and set **Time of Day** to the time I wanted (in my case 10.30pm)
**2) Trigger - Filter by Zapier**
- I selected **Only Continue if** **1. Pretty Date** **Date/Time (Equals)** and I set today’s date in the format **17/03/2023**
- This was so that it only emails me on that specific date (today).
**3) Trigger - in my case Send Email in MS Outlook (but this could be anything)**
- Set up as usual/desired and then publish
I waited and then received the email some 15 mins later at the desired time of 10.30pm.
Found this article helpful in setting up the filter: [https://community.zapier.com/how-do-i-3/how-to-filter-my-trigger-based-on-today-s-date-14635](https://community.zapier.com/how-do-i-3/how-to-filter-my-trigger-based-on-today-s-date-14635)

Might only be possible if you store your data in Google Sheets. You can’t do the same flow with a Glide Tables setup, unless you have a Business/Enterprise plan.

Yeah OP could always copy the data over to a Google Sheet and go from there… not ideal but still gets the job done.

We do this by using [make.com](http://make.com). Pull in data through Glide API, add some date filters and then send a transactional email via Mailersend (which we use to send all our transactional emails at the moment.

I assume that first module is a query table module?

Ya if you have business level or above (upgrade here: [Glide • Pricing](https://join.glideapps.com/plans-and-pricing)) you can use the Query Table API as @joeyceunen references. Works fairly well.

Thank you all very much! I will try with the solutions that have been proposed to me.
Best regards!
