Help using Arbitrary date/time

Hello -

I’m exploring utilizing the Arbitrary date/time function to schedule sending automated text using the Twilio plugin.

My use case is each contract is 12 months and at 3 months into the contract and after the 12th month I would like Bubble to send the SMS.

Instead of calculating the correct date, I would just like to use Arbitrary date/time. Is this possible or what’s your recommendation?

You’re better off calculating the correct date as this is a dynamic data. Arbitrary date/time is used to manually input static date values. Let’s say I want to compare how every user has progressed based on a fixed point in time. Said fixed point wouldn’t change and would apply to all users.
Of course there may be other use cases, but generally, for dynamic data, you’re better off doing the calculation
