Managing regular planned events

[White Wolf]

I have a need to track regular tasks that need to be tracked (daily, weekly, periodically ect)

an example that I’m wanting to track is if we have a system that needs its subscription monitored and tracks due time with natifications to indicate reminders of processes.

or to track backups

or other items needed for operational tracking.

is there a solution to this use case

So there are a few possible ways you could do this.

1. Straight up scheduled job that can send you a reminder when it it triggers

2. Possibly build things into a system date time Schedule ( I can picture how this would work but it might be a little convoluted for your use case )

3. Build a custom reminders table that has a "Due Date" field and possibly a "Remind me before" field that could have a series of time periods (such as hour before, day before, week before etc), combine this with a scheduled job that periodically checks this custom table (every minute/hour/day, as granular as required), when it finds a record that has passed the desired reminder period or due date, send a reminder.

4. You could also check the plugin store to see what is available, you may find a pre-built solution
