Hi everyone,
I’m trying to set up a Wait Node** in n8n that waits until 24 hours before an appointment time, but it doesn’t seem to work as expected. Instead of properly waiting, it executes immediately or behaves inconsistently.
How can I make a Wait Node to trigger before even happens 24 hours?
It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.
It sounds like you are trying to use the Wait node as a calendar service. That doesn’t sound like a scalable or reliable approach to me. Have you considered just wiring in something like Google Calendar? There’s a trigger node for “Event Started” so you could just make “reminder” events that occur 24 hours before the appointment times.
I recently found https://reminders-api.com/ which works exactly how I would want it to (no polling, just give it a webhook url for a callback at the scheduled time or on an interval.). However, that site look very bare bones and new, so I would probably try to find something else that works like that, but is more established as a company/service.
