This screencast shows how to repeat scheduled events – in this case sending repeated reminders to users who have not logged in for a month. The screencast covers:
- How to set up a component for scheduling (as seen before)
- The point of re-using an ID for scheduled tasks, to avoid duplicate reminders
- The trick of finding a good triggering event for scheduling (which is not always easy)
- The trick of having a component schedule itself upon completion, thereby repeating the scheduling
- How to delete scheduled tasks, and why that may be a good idea
