I’m trying to have an action (adding rows to a table) triggered when a parameter in another table changes. This parameter changes when a new quarter starts, basically when an if-then-else column displays a particular result (which is in turn configured to change according to some date and time based logic). When this happens automatically in this table, I’d like to have a bunch of rows added to a different table (I’m on a Business plan and I’d probably use Call API action for this). However, I’m unsure as to how I can trigger this automation logic.

Time-based actions might come to Glide at some point in the future, but at the moment what I would do is use [Make.com](http://Make.com), trigger the scenario to run on a schedule, use a HTTP module + Glide API to add rows to the table you want.

I see. I was already starting to suspect I might need to rely on [Make.com](http://Make.com) for something like this. Ok then, thanks a lot, @ThinhDinh!
