Fire alert based on date/time

Post by utony » 2021-01-28 02:47

Anyone have any code examples for a hook to fire an email or text alert upon the expiration of a date or time?

Example, a task system:

I have a to do task to wash my car set for 30 Jan 2021 with a date field and a time field at 9 am.

I want to be able to have the system automatically send a reminder out based on a date and time selected by the user. And a reminder once the date and time has passed if the task has not been completed. Think of it like google calendar, you can set dates and times for events with reminders. I would like to do that but need some assistance on where to start and code examples.

Thanks you in advance!!!

It would be cool if the calendar plugin had these features too! But need a fix now to solve this problem .

Hi,

this reads quite similar to the question in post:

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4103

There is no scheduling in AppGini itself. You need to take care yourself of this.
Any help offered comes with the best of intentions. Use it at your own risk. In any case, please make a backup of your existing environment before applying any changes.
