It is not possible for a Smart Contract to trigger itself. However, you could use an external service like the Ethereum Alarm Clock which will trigger the Contract for you.

  • can you share some code snippet of how can I use EAC for scheduling transaction on specific date? – Junior_K27 Aug 30 '19 at 06:51
  • Does EAC scheduler continuously use gas to run? – Junior_K27 Aug 30 '19 at 07:52
  • The duplicate answer link has a good explanation, alternativly, the development team has a very good description with code examples in their wiki: https://ethereum-alarm-clock.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quickstart.html#scheduling-your-first-transaction – toothleth_byte Sep 02 '19 at 08:32
