    Sorry I am not sure I understand the question moryegerman What do you mean by dynamic time trigger? We do have a recurring trigger you can use but you’ll have to specify the frequency

    I want to use the user’s flight itinerary to retrieve flight data either before, during and after their flight. To achieve this, I’d prefer a dynamic event trigger. Currently, the only workaround is to schedule it via the user’s calendar, but since I can’t directly access or set events in the user’s calendar, I’m currently stuck.

    yeah not sure how to solve this tbh - if they flight data provider can send a webhook that might be an option to trigger your workflow. but naturally I’d use calendar events here.e
