Learn the Rules framework part 16: Repeating scheduled events
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
