Notify Group Members Before Scheduled Meeting Time

2

We are trying to find a way to send an email or SMS to group members (and leaders) before a scheduled meeting time.   We currently have four weekend teams that cycle through and are scheduled to serve on specific weeks.  We have schedules set and the groups assigned correctly.  We need to notify the members of a group 3 or 4 days before they are scheduled to serve again.  I have poured over the documentation and I cannot find a way to do this.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I think you could accomplish this by creating a new SendGroupEmail job... one for each group you have. You would go to Admin | System Settings | Jobs Administration and add a new job of type SendGroupEmail. Within the job you would then pick you group, choose the desired system email (that you already created for this), and then create the proper Cron expression to make the jobs fire at the right times. (There is a link to the cronmaker web site in the expression help to make this easy.)

    I've never tried this but I don't see why it wouldn't work.
