Trigger a specified amount of time before an event

It is possible to triggerEvery scenario has a trigger, an event that starts your scenario. A scenario must have a trigger. There can only be one trigger for each scenario. When you create a new scenario, the first module you choose is your trigger for that scenario. Create a trigger by clicking on the empty module of a newly created scenario or moving the... a scenario a specified amount of time before an event with the help of standard Google Calendar email reminders and the WebhooksA webhook is a way for an app to send real-time information to a specific URL in response to certain events or triggers. > Custom mailhook module.

Use the Google Calendar > Update an event module to add an email reminder to your event:
Create a new scenario starting with the Webhooks > Custom mailhook module. Copy the mailhook’s email address. Save the scenario and execute it.
In Gmail, redirect the Google Calendar email reminders to the mailhook’s email address:
1. Open your Gmail settings.
2. Open the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab.
3. Click Add a forwarding address.
4. Paste the copied mailhook’s email address, press “Next”, confirm by pressing “Proceed” in the popup window and close the dialog by pressing “OK”.
5. In Boost.space Integrator, switch to the new scenario which should finish its execution by receiving the confirmation email.
6. Click the bubble above the module to inspect the module’s output.
7. Expand the Text itemItems are rows in records (order/request/invoice/purchase...) and search for the Confirmation code:

Where are the Iterate attachments and Iterate attendees modules?

Both modules are deprecated. To iterate desired values, please use the Flow Control > IteratorWhen creating a scenario, use an iterator to divide one bundle into smaller separate bundles. Subsequent modules then process the bundles separately. One common use is when automatically uploading email attachments to a cloud drive. You can find iterators under the Flow control of the tools section. More module.
