A timer to execute a scipt after a timer interval?

@Folkert

What Ninox platform ??  Mac App?  Ninox Cloud?? 

There are a few change requests for "scheduled" jobs.. 

If you are on the Ninox Cloud.. currently .. using an integration platform like Integromat (etc) would be the most expediant approach.. 

While I have NEVER tried it... If on the Mac App.. I wonder if something in the Automator or local cron would work? 

Hello, I'm revisiting this old message because the title is clear. There is a significant demand to execute a Ninox script from a timer event. Of course, Integromat allows for achieving this, and it's a good external solution. However, if one desires an on-premises and/or offline solution, it's less straightforward.

function AskToContinue( value : text) do
    dialog( value, "continue ?", ["no","yes"]) = "yes";
end;

var count := 1;
#{
// Call the AskToContinue Ninox function and get the result for post-processing
function timer() {
AskToContinue("test", (again) => {
    // The value is returned through a callbakc function with the return value as parameter (again)
    if (again){
        count = count + 1;
        setTimeout( timer, 500);}
    else
        // Affichage du nombre de tour réalisé
        alert(`We did ${count} rounds together`);
});
}

// Initialization of the timer loop
setTimeout( timer, 500);
}#;

This possibility exists by installing Ninext and using the script: This code is also interesting because it demonstrates how to call a Ninox function with a parameter and retrieve the return value from NativeJS.

Enjoy!
