I was wondering how the Intermediate Timer Event functionality worked.
Here's a quick Summary:
Goal:
After X amount of days, and the same X days after that, remind a user of a task to be performed in the clients Forms environment (review a submission and click Reject or Approve)
Research So Far:
Have instructions on how to use the timer event. It appears the same task will be okay if I do not enable the "Interrupt the attached activity" option.
Question:
What I want to know is if i do not enable that "Interrupt the attached activity" option, would the timer get reprocessed at a later point?? (say another X days later?). I would assume not, but am not sure. What I really would like is just the ability to have the timer resend out the email but I do not want to loop the timer activity back to it's parent activity until I know what might happen (two tasks URLs, both work?)
Current Status:
It seems right now the best option is to have the timer event send out an email and outflow to an Intermediate Timer Event that loops it back to the email service task. My issue with that would be with the email not able to contain the task URL for the user to directly click on. (unless there were a way to redirect that/generate that in the email activity.)
