Schedule Event with custom date time

3

Now we can not set a date in a schedule event that the user chooses in the user interface. It would be very helpful if we can trigger a microflow at a certain date time that we can define it early in a date time variable.

 

In this was we can use schedule events not only for periodic actions but also for actions to be started only once or a couple of times.

Hi Necdet,

 

You can do this via a small java action with this:

https://apidocs.rnd.mendix.com/10/runtime/com/mendix/core/actionmanagement/ActionCallBuilder.html#executeInBackground(com.mendix.systemwideinterfaces.core.IContext,java.lang.String,java.util.Date)

 

Build your mf call and then execute it with a given date on a task queue.

 

But I agree with you, the functionality is there and I would love if it was in the toolbox easily accessible.
