Hey everyone, I’m trying to get a database’s field to clear at midnight. To do so I 1st created a custom event that clears that given field. Then, I created the event "when current date/time formatted as hh:mm is 00:00 " \> trigger the custom event. For some reason it’s not working. Could anybody help me? Thank you ---

Hi there, @pedrodsabugueiro… are you familiar with backend workflows (which, by the way, can only be used when you are on a paid plan)? If you aren’t familiar with them (specifically, recurring events), do some searching (there is a lot of content out there) and get your learn on because a backend workflow is what you need here. Best… Mike ---
