Automate notifications to users based on private table records

In this scenario, each user has a private table that records details of their interactions with elements defined in a separate, shared table. I am struggling to design an automation which performs the following functions:

  1. A bot listens for events where a datetime column within any user’s private table is updated by the active user invoking an action from a UX control.

  2. Bot waits until now() >= another datetime column in the same user’s table.

  3. Bot sends a notification to that user.

The issue for me is how to tell the bot who should get the notification in the task execution step. I really have no idea how these elements are supposed to interact with one another and can’t find anything relevant in the help docs :disappointed_face:

Could private tables have hidden built-in properties such as [Table].[Owner]? Seems it’s also impossible to declare a variable that is internal to the bot instance at this time.

I had planned on using the new input feature to locally store a reference to the target user by capturing USEREMAIL() during the event trigger but it seems that it is no longer possible in my editor version, mysteriously :open_mouth:
