Do you want a node that triggers a message at a certain time of the day (only once or every day) ?
... or after some time the flow is deployed/started ?
@Trying_to_learn thanks for the suggestion for the Trigger node. It sounds like something we should support, given we can do it in the Delay node. There may be some reason we don't do it that I can't think of this early on a Saturday morning. But I will discuss it with @dceejay and add it to the backlog.
If you mean me I wasn't saying you shouldn't use core nodes, but when you have a specific problem you are asking about here then you should simplify that right down to what the problem actually is and not complicate it with surrounding logic, which may or may not include non-core nodes.
Yes changing the time to be a typed input that defaults to a numeric looks like a great first contribution for someone if they would like to step up. It is almost Hacktoberfest after all
It means it could be done. It just needs someone to do it.
If someone is out there who is wanting to start contributing to node-red, but not sure where to start, this would been a fairly straightforward first feature to work on. Just let us know.
Otherwise it will sit on the backlog to be prioritized against all the other work we have.
I'll see what I can do. I only have 2 weeks then I am (again) being thrown into the jungle for another 2 weeks (alternating) until the other things are done.
But should be over by December.
