šŸš€ Launched: New Date Formats

When current date / time = X date/ time, delete (or other action ) collection item from list.

( It should complete the action, regardless of whether or not, the app is open or closed )

Example:

I want the app to automatically delete a post 24 hours after it was made.

Incase that doesn’t make sense. I think this covers it:

Hi @C3PO, that sounds like cron jobs. I’ve already taken a note of this and also appreciate your vote here! : Cron or Delayed action
At the moment, you would need to use a 3rd party tool like MAKE. Thank you and have a great day!

Ok - So, it can’t be done. Got it.

I’ll be voting with my money; not a click.

Thank you. Have a great day!

The whole date thing needs an upgrade, he’s right. It doesn’t make sense that we have to depend on make.

I recommend you develop a component that does it yourself. No need to break your head. Instead of using Adalo components and fighting with functionality - work with antigravti, create the component, it’s simple.
Adalo can simply serve as a backend management system for you and visually connect frontend components. It’s very convenient to work like that.

I 100% agree with @nadavma2

Use Adalo for database and actions, and a custom component dealing your specific in-app logic. Use arguments from the component to run your actions.

I am constantly amazed at how powerful, convenient, and simple this way of working is.
