Where to put reminders on Tasks nearing their Due Date?

chrisx_212 — Fri, 27 May 2016 07:17:06 GMT

I want to create a system where I send email to the assigned user if they have an incomplete task nearing its due date. Where should I put the codes for it in the Engines? Or is it impossible with Activiti and I'm better off using another programming language (PHP comes to mind)? Thanks!

hi,

Of course it's possible. A simple sql query on act_ru_task allow you to list tasks nearing due date.
Otherwise you could use the activiti java API to create a batch that can do that.

Hi,

There are several possibilities just two of them:

describe it in the model (timer boundary event)
add special process which will check all task with due dates
