I have created a form to schedule reminder topics as per below.

 ![2023-02-20_16-12-13](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/9/4/94ce57173d85c8a9756a4cd1b9d6a0c976907b8e.jpeg)

Is there any way I can automated a text, push notfication or a Whatsapp reminder at the scheduled time to be sent to a user specific mobile number?

Time-based actions might come to Glide some time later this year, but at the moment a workaround is to:

- Write that row to a Google Sheet
- Create an arrayformula column to calculate the “reminder date” (e.g: submitted day + 7)
- Trigger a flow in Make everyday, check if there are any “reminder date” that matches today
- Send a text message using a platform like Twilio

When push notifications/Twilio become a thing in Glide, plus time-based actions, I imagine you can do the steps above natively just inside the platform.

Struggling to write the rows to Google keeps pulling in standard text. I also don’t know how to write an array formula. Can you help?

Can you specify what does “standard text” in this case mean? Does it look something like “0001-01-01T00:00:00.000Z”?

Yes. If you are using Google Sheets as a Data Source, it could be done exactly as @ThinhDinh described.
