If native automation delays would be a helpful feature for you we'd love to hear more about your interest! If the base is closed, it will update approximately every hour when the base has time-dependent automation triggers or actions. Generally, NOW() updates approximately every five to ten minutes when a base is open (although this timing may vary slightly). The process in this article is a workaround involving the use of the NOW() formula function, and has some limitations. The automation that we'll configure in the next step uses the formula to trigger the reminder. If the "Reminder" date field is now or past now, then it will display the string" Trigger Reminder" in the formula field for that record. If there is a date in that reminder field then it will check whether the current date/time is equal to or past NOW(). This formula checks to see if there is a date/time entered in the reminder field. Add a new formula field, name the field Trigger Reminder, and copy and paste the formula below into the formula field. The next step is to add a short formula that will compare the current time (localized to your device) with the date and time entered in the reminder field. For this example, we'll toggle on the option to include a time field. With every date field, you have the option to use just a date or to optionally use a specific time. We'll then select the date field type and name the field Reminder. The first step is to use a date field - we'll create a new one by clicking the + icon to the right of the existing fields.
