Scheduled Tasks
This new additional feature allows you to save time by automating tasks that you would otherwise run manually, Certain tasks can be scheduled to run at certain times of the day or month.
Examples of such tasks may include:
- Perform regular member invoicing (invoice any member whose fees have recently become due)
- Send reminders for overdue invoices
- Send a reminder email to anyone that has not responded to a request for event-availability
- Send a text message to all members
- Send a specific email to group of people
- Back up the member database to a CSV file
- Or anything else that you can think of that can be programmed to run in an unattended way
Tasks can be run:
- Every fixed number of minutes (e.g. every 5 minutes, or every hour)
- At a specific time of the day
- On a specific day (or days) of the week
- On a specific day of the month
If you are interested in using this additional feature then there is a fee for doing so, this costs £36 (per annum), let us know if you would like us to enable this for you. If you do pay to enable this system, you would not be limited to the tasks outlined above. You can also request other scheduled tasks you think would be useful and if possible, they will be developed for you.
This feature is now also visible in your Platform. There is a page on your Admin Dashboard called Scheduled Tasks. But as advised above this will only be enabled once requested and paid for.
