Required Condition - from date X onwards

📐 Rule Machine®

I was trying to define a “required condition” in a Rule for it to start working next week.

I thought I could use the “between dates” but found two problems;

  1. Year is not considered since it is supposed to be valid every year.
  2. The final date is not optional, it should be defined.

Therefore “between two dates” does not help me.

Is there any easy way to achieve what I am looking for?

You could make the first action in the rule Wait for Certain time with a date.

I guess that won't work for you though, as you probably want the rule to go on working after that date.

Could you use GCal to turn on a virtual switch on a specific day, and use that switch being on as a required expression?

Or even @bptworld 's life event calendar? Removing the need for the Internet / Google integration...

I wasn't aware of this app yet. This guy writes apps faster than I can read!

Thanks for the ideas, but I was looking for an easier way.

I tried defining a variable equal to the starting time, and then defining the required condition to have it compared to the current time-date, but I haven’t found how to locate and use the current system time.

Is there a way to do so?
