Notification Email For Due Date.

Question

Hi all,
I would like to seek help from you all guys in this scenario.
I have a table with a column "due_date", I want my application to automatically send email to the end user when the sysdate is 1 day before the due date.
What should I do,please advice..
Thanks for sharing.

Answer 1

1. Create a procedure to send mail as mentioned by Shan above..
eg.
create or replace procedure snd_mail
is
ws_id number;
begin
select max( workspace_id) into ws_id from apex_applications ;
wwv_flow_api.set_security_group_id(ws_id);
FOR C1 IN ( SELECT email_id from sample_table where  due_date - sysdate <= 1 )
loop
      APEX_MAIL.SEND(
      P_TO       => c1.email_id,
      P_FROM     => '[email protected]',
      P_BODY     => 'Body of the email',
      P_SUBJ     => 'Subject of the email');
      APEX_MAIL.PUSH_QUEUE;
  end loop;
end;2. Schedule the above procedure to run daily
begin
  dbms_scheduler.create_job(
    job_name => 'TESTJOB',
    job_type => 'stored_procedure',
    job_action => 'snd_mail',
    number_of_arguments => 0,
    start_date => systimestamp,
    repeat_interval => 'FREQ=DAILY',
    end_date => null,
    job_class => 'DEFAULT_JOB_CLASS',
    enabled => true,
    auto_drop => TRUE,
    comments => NULL
end;Regards,
Shijesh
