Is it possible for the configurable-interval node to use the interval value when I enter the interval value in a DASHBOARD text input node on the UI?

Are you referring to the `node-red-contrib-configurable-interval` node? If so, it would depend on what that node permits as inputs. Unfortunately, from what I read about that node, it doesn't say you can pass input parameters to it. In addition
1. the node hasn't been updated in over four years
2. there is no ability to open an issue on the GitHub page and
3. the author hasn't been active on GitHub for two years
So I would suggest finding a different node to use.

`node-red-contrib-cron-plus`
this node has built in examples also particularly how to set dynamic schedules from dashboard.

this may not be perfect, but using this you can set after how many **minutes** you want a repeating trigger.
