Activiti Timer Task email Task Reminder Notifications

[signjoy]

Hello,

I need to send a task reminder email notification on each task in my workflow. Right now I am thinking to put Timer Task on each User Task and have a Service Task attached to it. 

My question is, how can I get the candidate group of the User Task (Step 1) in the Send an Email Service Task??

Thank you

store it as a process variable

Hi Abbas Kararawala‌ I have many User Tasks, how can I know from which User Task it is coming? As I want to keep the same logic for all the Service Tasks.

Activiti User Guide can help you to create non persistent variables. retracing the step that occurred before the service task will be unnecessary specially for large number of tasks
