Sure,

Just create an additional conditional sentence (If - then) to control the execution code:

```auto
let myTrigger = p1; // p1 is the 1st parameter
if (myTrigger == True) {
    var data= await fetch('YOUR_URL', {
       method: 'POST',
        headers: {
           'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
           'Authorization': 'YOUR_BearerToken'
        },
    });
    const json = await data.text(); // or data.json();   
    return json
  }

```

Now, you can create a custom action using the new [Wait Action feature](https://community.glideapps.com/t/wait-action/23794/54) to get it:

1. Set **True** to code’s trigger (“myTrigger” as parameter/column)
2. Wait 2-3 sec to allow the JS to run
3. Set **False** to code’s trigger to disable next executions

Saludos!
