Delayed Email Notifications

Hi there,

I currently use 'system.util.sendEmail' to send Email to dedicated person requring signature at a station . However i would like to send another notification in 15 mins to other team members if task was not perfomed by first user.

How to achieve this delayed task? We dont have Alarm notification module. Only one way Email setup.

Thanks

You would normally need to track the status of each message somewhere (typically a database) and run a script regularly to identify incomplete tasks. That script would send the follow-up email (and should note in the DB when it did so, to prevent back-to-back reminders).

Got it. Would there be any alternatives ?

You mean like a commercial add-on module? Not that I know of. This is something that the alarm pipeline infrastructure of the Alarm Notification module is intended to handle. If you skimp on license cost, you often pay in other ways, like script development time.
