For example, I create a tiddler with a certain tag (e.g. “Scheduled Action”) with a certain field (e.g. “activation-date”) with a date. I want my wiki to perform some action (e.g. a certain action widget, maybe a custom one) when the date comes. In particular, I want my wiki to send a rest call and I think that one of the ways to implement a rest call is via custom action widget. The tricky thing is to trigger the action by scheduling it. I’m currently struggling to find a way to do so.
It sure does. TiddlyTools/Time/Alarms lets you define date/time “alarm” triggers. By default, the alarms just display a modal dialog with specified message text, but you can also define custom actions to be performed when an alarm is triggered.
See TiddlyTools/Time/Info, and read the section for TiddlyTools/Time/Alarms for instructions on how to set up alarms with custom actions.
