Approver receives a notification to review and approve workflow.4th November 2013 - Single reminder is sent to Approv

Hi,
like below example, you can define a boundary event to fire after 3 days, in the scripttask you can send mail.


<boundaryEvent id="boundarytimer1" name="Timer" attachedToRef="alfrescoUsertask1" cancelActivity="false">
      <timerEventDefinition>
        <timeCycle>R1/P3D</timeCycle>
      </timerEventDefinition>
</boundaryEvent>
<serviceTask id="alfrescoScripttask1" name="Notify" activiti:class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.activiti.script.AlfrescoScriptDelegate">
      <extensionElements>
        <activiti:field name="script">
          <activiti:string>

var mail = actions.create("mail");
mail.parameters.to_many = emailToMany;
mail.parameters.from = "notification@raesystems.com";
mail.parameters.subject = "Task Reminder";
mail.parameters.text = "Dear "+ownerFullNames+", \n\n";
mail.parameters.text += "There is one document waiting for your reviewing, please click the link below to proceed.\n";
mail.parameters.text += "Thank you!\n\n\n";
mail.parameters.text += "Task Link: "+hostUrl+"/share/page/my-tasks\n\n";
mail.parameters.text += "Alfresco Workflow Instance";
mail.execute(companyhome);</activiti:string>
        </activiti:field>
      </extensionElements>
    </serviceTask>

Hi Lementree,
I would like to do almost the same thing. The only different point is that I'd need to send a reminder 3 days before the workflow end. Do you know how to make it ?
Thank you
