Using text in a label to start a timer

Hello, I am attempting to time how long the text in a given label matches certain conditions. For this example the label is Label2_1.

Is it possible to use UpdateContext to trigger the timer to start when the text in Label2_1 = "Running"?

I tried creating a variable in the start field for the timer but then I'm not sure where to put my if formula that I made below:

If(Label2_1.text="Running",UpdateContext({E24TimeGo: true}),UpdateContext({E24TimeGo: false}))

Thank you!

@JWPowder ,

Set Start property of the Timer as follow:

Label2_1.Text="Running"

Also, please be sure that the AutoStart property is set to false.

In this way, the timer will count all periods when the Label2_1.Text is equal to "Running" to maximum Duration - timer property.

Hope it helps !
