Is it possible to trigger the action, “Send SMS” (or email) automatically when a Column value reaches a threshold?
I’m working on a pool service app. I have two items for which I have a stopwatch-esque column counting up time. I would like for the app to trigger an SMS send or Email Send when that counter reaches a certain amount of time. Basically it’s a reminder to the users that a particular fill line has been running a long time and maybe it should be checked or turned off.
You could use schedule workflows to check for changes. That would work! Is this a good solution for you? On which paid plan are you?

im actually on the free plan. Would I need the Maker plan to schedule workflows?
Please note that for your use case, even if you have scheduled workflows, it’s unlikely to trigger exactly at the time it reaches the threshold, unless you do something like running it every minute.
The highest frequency that I see in a scheduled workflow is 5 minutes.
Would an auto trigger work for you?
Wouldn’t this still require the user to open the app at all times?
Yes, but because the pool counter changes when a user do something, then, the user itself could trigger that workflow without knowing.
