can time based workflow field update can trigger after update method?

Hi,

I have a time-based workflow on the account which is updating a checkbox field to true when this action is executed I want my custom code to fire (after update) and make some updates on the object. Currently, the scheduled time-based action is changing to the future time when it comes to schedule execution time.

Thanks

I've removed that field from the update. Currently, my time-based workflow is changing account owner, book3__c to false and Checkbox1__2 to true after 120 days of faileddate__c. So based on these changes I need to do some updates on the same record. This is my code firing at after update.

Id AccRecTypeId = Schema.SObjectType.Account.getRecordTypeInfosByName().get('MY RecordType').getRecordTypeId();
        
        for(Account acc:trigger.new){
            if(acc.Checkbox1__2 == TRUE && acc.recordTypeId == AccRecTypeId){ 
                if(acc.status != 'Now' && acc.status != 'Failed' && acc.status != 'Failed/Lost'
                    && acc.book1__c == FALSE && acc.book2__c == FALSE && acc.book3__c == FALSE 
                    && acc.Owner.LastName.contains('automation')){
                        acc.count= 0;
                        acc.dollors= 0;
                        accountListToUpdate.add(acc);
                    }
                    system.debug('===updatedAccIds==='+updatedAccIds);
            }
        }
if(!accountListToUpdate.isEmpty()){
            update accountListToUpdate;
        }
