I seem to be stuck on figuring out how to make an API call to check if a task has passed it’s Due Date without the user being logged in, and making the necessary change in the database, altering the task’s Overdue to “yes” as a yes/no data type.
The API call would then notify the user (by text/email) that the task has become “Overdue.” I’m not exactly sure what plan I need or how to go about doing this.
Thanks @duke.severn I’ve seen your other posts and you’ve been a big help. Glad I get the opportunity to thank you personally.
To your point, I am on a paid plan. One of my biggest concerns is when a task becomes Overdue (in this case the Due Date database entry has gone past the Current Date/Time), that task would need to be modified in the database as quickly as possible. That way a User is notified promptly when a task becomes “Overdue.” Would I set up a recurring event for this kind of thing? I don’t believe a Trigger event is appropriate because I can’t step outside the bounds of the database.
Or would I create some sort of custom event in the API Workflows?
Nevermind. I figured it out. I created a Scheduled API event in the Workflow tab when a new task is created, setting the time to run an API Workflow when Due Date is < Current Date/Time
