Reminder Workflow

Can anyone give me the steps on how to send reminders using workflow automatically everyday till they complete their assigned task.

I tried the below code but it sends out an email only once then it stops for the given period then updates the workflow as completed it doesn't loop the workflow till status =approved.


if Approver Status equals 2;#Pending
email
then pause for 1 days, 0 hours, 5 minutes.

Can anyone help me out with this.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Hi,

I suggest you create a custom timer jobs to do your own scheduled tasks.

Here is the complete reference by Andrew: http://www.andrewconnell.com/blog/archive/2007/01/10/5704.aspx

Schedule it to run once per day and check the status.It can then send a notification.

As the two previous posters have mentioned, this is either a fairly straightforward escalation of tasks, for which the link to Robert Shelton's videos should help, or a timer job, for which the link to AC's blog should help. It all depends on your exact situation.
