Hi. I was wondering how I can have the app to make a reminder after ex. 2 weeks. Even if the app is closed. Hope someone have a good idea or is it not possible at all??? Be. ---

You can use onesignal! ---

Use could try and use firebase to store the last time the app was logged in. You would need a “host app” that could check each when each user was last logged in and if \>2weeks then send a OneSignal message to that users ID. Im not 100% positive it would work but it might. ---

Thanks. I was hopping for somenthing could work ON the phone. But maybe I cant get arround to use a DB or onesignal. If I use one signal do I also have to use the calender to trigger the onesignal or can I program that in onesignal you think?? Is there other ideas out there please??? ---

@tchind Please stop spamming the forums. You can create a topic to explain the solution you found but there is no need to post in every single related topic. Many of the topics you are re-opening have not been updated for years. ---

Specially that there are many ways to trigger an event in the calender. This URL for example will open the calendar and fill in the info [Create Event in Google calendar](https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/r/eventedit?text=Thunkable+Event&details=Example+of+some+description.&location=123+Some+Place,+City&dates=20210504T1000/20210504T1130) Of course, in the app you will use variables instead of the text I typed in the URL. No need to use any other tool outside of Thunkable. ---

Thanks @muneer i didnt know we could do this! But Zapier is a bit easy and more auttomatted proccess. My app is for elderly and probably they might get confused. ---

> [@itzvinie](#): > > check if userbirth variable=Current date\*but not yielding good so far When retrieving date from Airtable it will have the **long format**. You need to show the retrieved date in a text and to know how it is formatted and then use a similar format for **current date**. When you do this you can then compare the two. ---
