You can’t have a time-based trigger in Glide. A Zapier action or a webhook action can only be triggered by a user action.

If you want the time-based trigger to be automatic, use the schedule function of Integromat or Zapier to do so, then try to reproduce the steps you have already done for Integromat/Zapier to look for the data and do the next steps.
