Hello,

based on <a href="http://www.activiti.org/userguide/#timerEventDefinitions">the Activiti user guide</a> you could use P3D to tell the timer to fire 3 days after being created / registered.

Hi Axel,

I would need to set the timer 3 days before the due date. Do you know how I could do that ?

Thank you very much for your answers.

Vincent

Hello Vincent,

I have not tried it but I believe you can use expression language instead of absolute values to define the time. So basically you could write an <a href="http://www.activiti.org/userguide/#apiExpressions">expression</a> that calculates the date (directly or by calling a Java delegate).
