Would have an input for a db and a column, then every time that column’s Unix is in the past it triggers with the row info. Could have ratelimits to stop abuse. It would allow for fairly precise scheduling and would make it a lot easier to make stuff scheduled
I’ve been thinking about a proper job scheduler block, similar to (or possibly just a modified version of) async folder, where you can schedule an arbitrary time in the future, and it’ll run the blocks within that folder at that time. Job scheduling has been a weak spot in Inventor since the beginning (often showing itself in things like giveaway systems), and I think this is the most intuitive way to work around that.
The updated version of async folders is likely coming in the near future (I’ve set up most of the groundwork for it at this point), so it seems more likely that this would be implemented as an extension of that feature, rather than as its own feature.
This will likely come with a new tab (in the main dashboard or bot settings) for viewing, canceling, and possibly even early triggering for scheduled jobs. I think consolidating this to one feature rather than multiple is ideal because it enables that sort of UI.
