Time based triggers

[Rafi4]

Hi Martin
For example
Trigger contains time every sunday at 4.00 p.m. my device is switched off at triggertime (4.00 p.m) . If I switched on my device at 4.30 p.m this flow will execute on next Sunday. How can I execute this flow this Sunday?

I think that I have explained better.

Instead of using fixed time as trigger use Global variable date/time as trigger and tick "Trigger immediately on missed events". In this way flow will execute when you switch on the phone.

To repeat this I add a script:

Code: Select all

global_var=addDays(global_var, 7)

So if you selected a Sunday in your Global variable date/time then after execution of flow the date will get added by 7, so it will be set for execution on next Sunday.

Hi icefox56
I know about the script. is there any another way to get to work?

As per my first answer the question you asked in original post is answered. What additional help do you need?

Friendly reminder: don't confuse Global variable date/time with normal variables. It's a trigger available in Automagic.

Hi icefox56

I am telling about time trigger not about global variable date and time.

See screen shot.

Global variable date/time is a trigger. Go check it out in "time" category.

Don't use the fixed time trigger. It doesn't work if your phone is switched off. Use Global variable date/time trigger, and tick "trigger immediately on missed event". In that way the flow will work even if the phone was switched off at, say 4:00pm, but you switched it on at 4:30pm.

Hope you understand.

If you are asking, can you do this with normal time trigger?
Then as far as I know, the answer is NO.
