send email (notification) when [Entered date / time] equals to [today's' date /time]

I'm trying to set up an automated email (notification) will be sent automatically when the chosen date/time equals to today's date/time.  I've created a field (date / time) for users to add the day...

Subscriptions do not fire at soecific times. They run once a day in the morning. So it will not work to expect a subscription to run at a specific time and date.

QuickBase can do a daily morning subscription of records which meet some criteria.

Yes, correct. Notifications will fire at the moment a record is edited and saved, if the conditions are met. They do not fire due to the passage of time.

SUbscriptions, however can be set up to fire say each day or each weekday. They basically run a report and if the report catches any records,, then the report is delivered. They run early in the morning, North American time zone.
