[SOLVED] Auto action for reminder or countdown

6 years 6 months ago - 6 years 6 months ago #298078 by Andromeda57
Hello guys,

is there a way to use the auto actions or another of your extensions to use it as a reminer or countdown function?

For example, we set a date, with the date field in the cb profile of a user. Can the date or time work with an auto action, for example send an email?


Thanks

Tobias

CB Auto Actions is designed to act on triggers. It does not have any form of internal scheduler. For that you have to use CRON and scheduler a task to perform a GET request on an auto actions URL. If you need it to check every user you have to user the Internal Users URL and add that trigger to your auto action, but this will load and send every user on your site through the auto action (it has no batching or filtering at this time) so it can be extremely heavy. Now if you just want to do that email say after the user logins then that's certainly reasonable.

Hey krileon,

thanks for your answer.

We found a way to handle it. So we don't need a reminder. :)

Thread can be closed.

Thanks.
