@sourav_kumar,
I feel your pain. I’m not certain but I think you need to trick Airtable into thinking the record has been modified and then I believe services like Zapier will trigger.
Yes. I have built many automated systems that do this using the API. but, it is not easy - you need to manage record states in context with time in an environment external to Airtable.
@sourav_kumar - this use case is covered with our On2Air: Actions product.

Hi @Bill.French
Thanks anyway!!
This is related to another thread started by @sourav_kumar, so I’ll also briefly post a note here in case anyone else finds this first.
Triggering automations on a timer instead of a data change is doable in Integromat. I’ve got several Integromat scenarios that run at specific intervals—some daily, others weekly—and operate on Airtable data based on searches. To set this up, make the first module in the scenario an Airtable search module. Set up the search as you wish to find specific data in a table, and add other modules as needed to operate on the records returned from that search.
On that first module you’ll see a clock symbol. Click that to open a dialog where you can specify the schedule for running the scenario.
To do something similar in Zapier, start the zap with the “Schedule by Zapier” app, following the prompts to pick a time. Zaps can be scheduled to run hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly.

Hi All, I posted a question that is also about emails and AirTable. Anyone from this wonderful group have input? I’d be so appreciative. Connecting Email and AirTable
