Email notification for simple workflow

[rama_honge]

I have a simple workflow to move a doc from one space to another space for a review. I want to have a workflow to send a notification email/remainder mail to the reviewer to the review the document, if the doc still is in the space for more than 2 days(from the date it is moved).

I was able to figure the way to do in advance workflow. But i have to do it with a simple workflow mechanism.

Advanced workflow is definitely the way to go here. If you absolutely had to use simple workflows, I suppose you could write a scheduled action that would query for content in a particular folder over X days old and send an email based on that. As your number of folders grows, this will become tedious to maintain.

Why do you have to use simple workflows? Would a combination work? Like you could have a rule on the folder that would start an advanced workflow when a new document was added, and the workflow would just have a timer in it that could check the document's folder upon expiration and send the email. Just a thought.
