Time Entry
Christian Klang
Since a simple reminder can be done with Zapier, the missing feature would be the repetition/replay. For this, you would need to have a multi-zap.
So the feature request is in my view:
a) A duration field for an action ("delay action for 2 days")
b) A repetition field for actions ("repeat action 4 times")

I guess Alton means time off the device: When a user does not use the app for [time], e.g. a notification or reminder appears.

Oh no, on Slack he clarifies: "I need it to trigger notifications and events through zapier for user accounts who select it. Its for a habits app and is really our only way to create reminders. Without it we can't really have a reoccuring notice."

Christian Klang: I added some clarity in Bens comment but to follow up i can create the soft logic for time between with date/time collections that track from when to when (I think). But I want to trigger a notification that pops up at a selected time for a collection item that is created by a user.
In use case speak: A user wants to create a reminder to take their vitamins at the same time every day. She opens her app, creates a reminder for "Take Vitamins" and selects "7:00 am" from a dropdown. The next morning the app sends a notification at 7:00 am with a message "Don't forget to {Trigger Name}, {User Name}"

Hi Alton Wells could you give some examples of how this might be used?

Ben Haefele: Hey Ben,
I'd like to be able to.
-Have a user select a time as part of an object so that a reminder can be triggered in a zap or better yet just a notification triggered in app.
-Have a time property stored in a collection.
I've attached some ref images

Alton Wells: Thank you for providing that context. I'm probably going to close this request as it is actually two different features that we already have separate items for:
1) Additional Database Property Types (including Time) https://adalo.canny.io/feature-requests/p/additional-database-property-types
2) Scheduled Notifications: https://adalo.canny.io/feature-requests/p/scheduled-push-notifications
