You can use Chainlink to trigger a smart contract at a specified time. Using this Chainlink, you will create a request with a timestamp for the node to call back to your desired function. You can include additional logic in that function to perform additional computation.
- Write and deploy your Chainlinked contract using the network details below
- Fund it with LINK (1 LINK is required per-request)
- Call your request method
You will need to use the following LINK token address, oracle address, and JobSpec ID in order to create the Chainlink request.

Import Chainlinked.sol into your contract so you can inherit the Chainlinked behavior.
pragma solidity ^0.4.24;
import "chainlink/contracts/ChainlinkClient.sol";
contract ChainlinkAlarmClock is ChainlinkClient {
uint256 oraclePayment;
constructor(uint256 _oraclePayment) public {
setPublicChainlinkToken();
oraclePayment = _oraclePayment;
}
// Additional functions here:
}until
Required
The timestamp for which the Chainlink node will wait to respond.
Solidity example
req.addUint("until", now + 5 minutes);
This example shows how to create the request for the Chainlink node:
function delayStart
(
address _oracle,
bytes32 _jobId
)
public
onlyOwner
{
Chainlink.Request memory req = buildChainlinkRequest(_jobId, this, this.fulfill.selector);
req.addUint("until", now + 5 minutes);
sendChainlinkRequestTo(_oracle, req, oraclePayment);
}This example shows the callback method:
function fulfill(bytes32 _requestId)
public
recordChainlinkFulfillment(_requestId)
{
/* additional computation here */
}
