Automated Calendar Reminder Emails

I have an event calendar on SharePoint that needs to automatically send out event reminder emails every 48 hours. I'm able to do this using date comparison and pausing in a workflow, but it doesn't look at the event time or the current time. Suggestions?

Hi,
Could you please provide more details about the issue? And what is the event time? Is the event start time or the event created time?
It seems you want to create a timed workflow, you could follow the steps below to create a timed workflow:
1. Go to enable retention and add a retention stage. (Go to calendar list settings->click Information management policy settings->click the content type you want to add retention stage-> enable retention->add a retention stage)
2. in the event section, you could decide the time period.
3. In the action section, you could select the start a workflow.
4. In the recurrence section, you could select “repeat this stage’s action until the next stage is activated” and set the recurrence period.
5. You could create send email action in the workflow to send reminder emails.
The article below is about how to create a timed Workflow in SharePoint 2010, it also can work in SharePoint 2013. You could refer to the article for more details.

  • Calendar Reminder Alert Emails Not Received

    1)  I set a calendar, with email reminder alerts set to be sent at various times.
    2)  At the times the emails are supposed to be sent, I receive an reminder message on the my iMac and my iPhone.
    3)  The email reminder alerts are sent at some point after they are scheduled to be sent.
    4)  The email reindeer alerts are never received, but can be found in the Sent mailbox.
    About two years ago, I would receive every email alert on time.  Since then, the problem has become progressively worse.
    Any ideas how I can get this to work properly again?
    Thanks.

    Have you been into "Reminders" and deleted it ?

  • Duplicate reminder emails for the same event

    Some of my users are experiencing duplicate reminder emails for the same event. These duplicates have the same bodies, different message-id headers and posted at exactly the same time.
    Has anybody seen this sort of behavior and know a fix.

    We had the same problem. At us I noticed the start/stop from the server went wrong. There were double processes running from the server. You should have 1 admin process, 1 notify process, 1 enpd process and (same as your cpu count) httpd processes.
    When the other ones are more then 1, restart the system.
    This receiving double e-mail reminder problem, you will only find at people who have AND event notifications on AND event & task reminders on! People who don't have BOTH activated, don't receive double reminders.
    Also watchout that your test calendar system can't send e-mail notifications to your production users. But this you can see by reading the headers from the e-mail .. the system where it comes from is then different.
    Hope this helps.

  • E71 (S60) Calendar reminder alarm too long (1 minu...

    Using an E71, but suspect this is an S60 issue:
    Why does the Calendar reminder alarm last for an entire minute repeat the tone continuously until 60 seconds have elapsed? While other alarms like sms, email only invoke the tone once?
    As an ex-Palm Treo user, I was used to being able to set the number of times I can repeat the tone (e.g. 1, 2 ,3 times).
    How do I configure the phone such that the calendar reminder only triggers the (e.g. beep) tone, 2 or 3 times? I couldn't find any config on that. Is there any work-around or 3rd party software that can do this?

    I also have this. My outlook calendar is the key and I like to have reminders. The fact that the alarm goes of during 1 minute sound is terribly annoying, I'd just like to have a reminder with a SMS-like sound, something I can customize at least (sound + duration + number of times it repeats...). 
    Anyone has info about this? I am using a E71 too.

  • Calendar Reminder

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a simple question.
    I would like to add a calendar to my application in APEX and config this caldar to send me email (notification) or any other possible reminder about upcomming issue/record/meeting ets.
    Thanks

    Fry,
    The calendar would not be doing the sending. In fact, it would not even do the addition of entries. All the calendar does is display data in the database.
    To send reminder email you need to hit on that same data but in a different way. My suggestion would be to create a package for this purpose. Then add the code necessary to satisfy your business requirements. Lastly use DBMS_SCHEDULER to call this code at the appropriate intervals.

    What you've outlined in this part of the post is all that icloud stores for you outside of the backup. If you want to restore from the icloud backup you will then have for all practical purposes a carbon restoration back to your device if you restore from the icloud backup.

    Syncing your device with itunes will then enable you to remove whatever photos you wish to remove from your device deleting them with the computer and not the iphone.

  • IPhone 5, iCloud calendar reminder issue

    When I use the iCloud calendar on my iPhone 5 and make an event with a reminder set to "on time of event", it will sometimes just beep and flash a notice on lock screen for a few seconds and then the notice disappear from lockscreen.
    Sometimes though, everything works as it should and the notice is still there on lockscreen till I unlock the screen (or the event is over).
    All settings in notice center and mail/calendar is correct.
    When I use google calendar it always works!
    The problem was there from iOS 6.0 and is still there after update to 6.1
    I have been in contact with apple support who couldn't find any help at the moment.
    More people seem to have this according to this site: http://forums.imore.com/ios-6/244349-ios-6-calendar-reminder-issues.html

    Update: The problem occurs when I have connected my iCloud acount with calendar enabled on my iMac.
    It's like the iPhone 5 thinks I have seen the notice on my iMac and therefore removes it from the phone.
    This happens even if my iMac is locked/lockscreen.

  • Workflow changes - send reminder email on X - 1 days ...  based on Molga

    Hello Everyone,
           I new to workflow and I came across a workflow scenario where I am confuse, that what should I do in order to make it work. Luckily we are running only one workflow in the system which is time off request, We copied standard workflow class u201CCL_PT_REQ_WF_ATTRIBSu201D to Z version and introduced some new method to send email to employees managers as well as employee and HR .
    We also have something called workflow item cancel thing . Lets say if workflow is not approved by manger within X bossiness days it got cancel and employee has to submit the new time off request again. After doing a little bit research I came to know that there is standard job which checks and calculate the X days thing. Work flow is running fine from last 1 year.
    Last week, we been asked to create reminder from X-1 day and sends to employee manager saying u201C This is a reminder and one day is left u201C  .
       I wanted to know how I can achieve that, I have to filter the employee by reading employeeu2019s molga as we want to do it for specific countries  then I have to read employee manager which I can do using different FM and then I have to send email to employee's manager .
    Like I said It should happen BEFORE x-1 business days when employee submits the time off u2026   
    Here what I am thinking , I  can read table u201CSWWWIHEADu201D  with field WI_TYPE = u2018Wu2019 .  and  pass work_id to FM " SWW_WI_CONTAINER_READ "  and read the container like the  INCLUDE  MWS20000081HO01
      CALL FUNCTION 'SWW_WI_CONTAINER_READ'
             EXPORTING
                  wi_id                    = wi_id
                READ_FOR_UPDATE          = ' '                         *
             TABLES
                  wi_container             = wi_container
             EXCEPTIONS
                  container_does_not_exist =  1      "message from function
                  others                   = 99.
        IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
          SWC_GET_ELEMENT WI_CONTAINER 'ACTUALSTATE' ACTUALSTATE130100.
        ELSE.
          CLEAR ACTUALSTATE130100.
        ENDIF.
        IF ACTUALSTATE130100 = 'N'.
          CALL TRANSACTION 'WS20000081M'.
          LEAVE PROGRAM.
        ENDIF.
    From container I can read employee number and approver . Get molga via  pernr and can filter the employee ..who ever submits the request system date u2013 4 .. I can send out the reminder email u2026
    Is there any other way around or any other efficient way of doing that u2026 I hope  you understand this thing is conditional u2026 As far as I am concern I new to workflow so please bear with me ..
    Waiting
    Khan
    FYI- I have gone through several post which task about deadlines monitoring Etc .. using fork & wait blah blah .. but It didnu2019t get any clue where to start and how to start u2026

    Mike,
            I think I am following you so for .. so here what I did ... I opened the "approve process" and slap in the same refer date/time in "Requested end date " with variables "&WFDATA.DEADLINEDATE&" "&WFDATA.DEADLINETIME&"  with 1- DAY . I didnu2019t find this what it says in help " It is possible to specify a negative time interval. Negative time   intervals should only be used in connection with an expression as a   reference date/time. You then have the option of "backward deadlines"
    Any way after that I changed action to "modeled" and say "outcome "reminder from UK " .
    it creates a node with clock sign , now like you said , I can do many  things here .. and I really need to do something for example , I need to check the employee if he/she is from UK , after that reads his/her manager and send an email to mangeru2019s outbox . UK gave us an email format which I have created in t-code SE60 - with Document Class "Dialog Text".
    How to proceed further. Thanks for baby sitting me.
    What I am thinking , I need to create a new activity as well as new method in my Zclass, in which I will check employee Molga  i.e. U.K and I have to send out email based on my email text which I have created in SE61.
    Iu2019m able to write code in existing method , being on the safe side I copied the existing workflow and made changes in to it . Now it comes to debugging part , Iu2019m able to find posts on SDN talks about workflow debugging . When I am entering time off request from ESS , and it is not stopping at external breakpoint , Also when I am looking at "PTARQ"  to see submit WF items . It is showing me the old task "w90000012" which is original one and I copied it and my task is "w90000022" . What I have to do  so when I submit time off request via ESS it calls my task . I created Task in PFTC . But nothing is happening . Please let me know what I am missing ..
    I found the table for ESS  leave request and able to see my task  , Table name is "u2022     V_T554S_WEB"
    But still waiting for answers the of above questions ...

  • ActiveSync only works for Contacts, not for Calendars and Email

    So it seems that the ActiveSync is only working partially for me... When syncing with our company's OWA, my Contacts sync fine (though some create duplicates). However, the Calendar doesn’t sync at all, and the Email only syncs the folder structure, but none of the emails in them. When I attempt to sync the individual folders it gives me the same error message - “connection to the server failed”. This is a bit puzzling, as it is able to connect to the server just fine to get the contacts and the email folders.
    I have already talked to the resident geniuses at the apple store and the exchange admin people - all are clueless... And did I mention, we don't have IT dept. to fix this... Please let me know if anyone is experiencing a similar problem or can suggest a way to fix it...
    Many thanks.

    I am also having this problem. I was on 2.0.1 with the original iphone and had activesync working just fine. Contacts, calendars and email were all working.
    On Friday I made the critical mistake of deciding to upgrade to 2.0.2. My phone was a brick for a little more than a day. I finally seemed to figure out the magical incantations required to get it restored and syncing with itunes (it was in a loop of only wanting to restore my phone).
    Since getting it back into a relatively normal mode of operating on 2.0.2 I have not been able to get push email via ActiveSync working (it was working fine, no changes on the Exchange side of things). The only thing that changed was my upgrading to 2.0.2.
    Since then I am back to the pre-2.0 email capabilities (I can create a seperate account on the phone and make imap work, but I don't get push with that).
    I sure hope Apple is reading this and taking steps to correct it. I have no idea how to restore my phone to the way it was before I made the mistake of upgrading to 2.0.2 I should just have waited for 2.1

  • Reminder Emails for Pending Approval Items

    Hi,
    I am new to Oracle workflow but the current project I am working with uses Oracle Workflow. I have a query regading reminder emails that workflow sends for the pending approvals. Do you know in which table I can check the settings for reminder emails. Also, how these reminder emails for any pending approval is triggered.
    Thanks a lot in advance.

    Hi Prabhat,
    I am working on creating a scheduled task for sending reminder emails. I need help on IapiTaskIfc Class com.frictionless.custom.wkfreminder.sendWorkflowReminder. Can you please share sendWorkflowReminder class to me, so that I can get idea about the code written for sending reminder emails? It would be great help.
    To check the class, you need to get the jar from server and decompile it. You can get some idea by looking at the java class file then.
    Thanks,

  • Workflow giving "Suspended" Error on Calculated Columns- Sending Reminder Emails on List Due Date

    I have created a list that has our reporting due dates plus calculated columns for 5 and 10 day reminders.
    Example:
    Due Date: 3/7/2014 1:00 PM
    5 Day Reminder (Calculated Column= [Due Date] – 5): 3/2/2014 1:00 PM
    10 Day Reminder (Calculated Column= [Due Date] -10): 2/25/2014 1:00 PM
    As you can see in the list, it calculates the (5 and 10 day) reminder dates correctly in the list… 
    However, what I am wanting to happen is to build a workflow that will automatically trigger and send these reminder emails.
    In SP 2013 Designer, I have my conditions set as: 
    I can go in on the list and set the workflow but once the due date/time comes up… The status changes from "Started" to "Suspended"-- I never receive a reminder email and I get the following error:

    Any ideas as to what I am missing?
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi,
    To start the workflow, we have three options:
    If you select the “start the workflow automatically when an item is created” or “start the workflow automatically when an item is changed”, the workflow can be started automatically.
    If you don’t, your workflow will never run, and therefore never wait till the date specified.
    The “Pause Until Date” action causes a workflow to pause executing until a specified date and time.
    If current day is equal to the specified date, it will execute the next step.

  • Reminder email to people who have not responded to a survey

    Hi,
      I have a requirement where I need to create a survey list with multiple Questions.And send these in an email as a link. and It has to pause for couple of days, then I need to find out who has not responded to the survey, and an email has to be triggered
    only to those people.
    As of now I have added a sharepoint group called KQSO-Survey User, also added a designer workflow on Survey, which sends email to all people who are listed in KQSO-Survey User, and It Pauses for 2 days.
    But I am not really sure How do I find people from KQSO-Survey Group who have not responded to the survey and send only those users a reminder email. 
    Any Help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Poonam

    Hi Poonam,
    You don't have to traverse through the SP Group to find people who have not filled the survey. You can look at the Tasks list. Once a task is completed, workflow is going to mark the Status as Completed. If you first group them by the Related Item, then
    by Status, it will show you those who have completed and those that haven't for a particular Survey that you send out.
    Remember that completing the survey and completing a task would be two separate things that users might have to do. This is my understanding.

    Hi,
    For all the unapproved shopping carts ,you can send the reminder mails in 2 ways:
    1.Within the SAP inbox,you can send the reminder notififcations using std DEADLINE MONITORING process.
    SAP Business Workflow has deadline monitoring function.

    Also see this related thread which discusses other work arounds using ALERTING:
    Deadline in SRM 6.0
    2.To send the reminder mails to external mail ID(Outlook/yahoo/gmail etc),you can create  a custom report which can be scheduled to run  once in a day to fetch  all the work items which are pending for approval and send a reminder email to all the approvers who need to approve the SC's.
