Hi.

In an advanced flow I want to check if an event starts one day from now. Eg. I have a variabel that stores the next date for my renovation pick up. I want to check the night before if the garbage is being picked up with something like “variabel:RenovationDate - ToDaysDate = 1 day” then trigger a flow.

Is this possible to achieve in a simple way?

I think the easiest way is using the iCalCalendar app.
