Dear people,  
I have a input\_number node. With a slider i set the value to 12. Ik want to set this value in the trigger node so that the trigger node fires off after 12 minutes.

Can anyone tell me how can I get this done?

Thanks,  
Peter

Hi @kroonp

Connect your `input_number` Node to the `trigger` Node, with the following settings.  
adjust as you see fit

**EDIT**  
I should have read more. 👼  
tick the box `override delay with msg.delay`

and use `msg.delay` to hold the 12 (but in ms)

so 720000

so along with your value, also include a property of `msg.delay`

Thank you, it didn't work for me because I used seconds instead of milliseconds

multiply seconds by 1,000!
