Scheduled Tasks - The Basics
What are Scheduled Tasks?
Hold administrators can run several scheduled tasks that allow them to automate emails and notifications to different sets of users. It also allows them to send a single notification (digest) for some workflows as opposed to sending out individual emails to a user each time they are associated with a task or a reminder threshold is reached.
Scheduled tasks that administrators can set and edit are People Import, Escalation emails, and Custodian Reminder Emails. From the Scheduled Task list, administrators can manually run a scheduled task, edit the schedule, and edit the text that is sent in the respective emails and notifications.
