batch job / process

Hi Snehal,

Batch processes are ones that run on timely basis without human intervention , for example it can run hourly , daily once at a specified time ,etc.., To achieve this you must place timer event in your start node and set recurrence and rule conditions accordingly. Refer docs.appian.com/.../Start_Event_-_Timer.html for more info on this and inside this process you have to build the logic to identify users and send them email .

Snehal,

If I understand correctly, you need some reminders to be sent to users. If the tasks for which the reminders are needed, are not Appian tasks, you could build a table which tracks the status of these tasks and its owner's emails, completion date etc. Then through Appian process using timers or CRON or any other standard batch framework, you could schedule a job to check the status of task, and send emails. Basically first you will need to build a container for holding the details about the tasks, and then you have wide range of options for scheduling the reminders for those.

Thanks Gaurav,
We are considering this option only just wanted to check if there is any other simpler option that we might be missing to achieve this.
