Consider the following approach allowing the user to define a rule or rules based on the number of days until completion date and selecting one or more communication channels:
One approach would be to
@Grant-Archibald-MS or @shrikant-singh31 - How do we set the reminders up exactly? If I set it for two days does that mean every two days until the due date or does that mean 2 days before the due date? If we want daily reminders until the due date due we set that to 0?
@MCSDWes reminders works by specific the specific reminder time in days. The current version does not include the ability to specify that reminder should be recurring.
@Grant-Archibald-MS - Awesome and thanks for the response. I can work with that, I will just set the same reminder for every two days until the due date hits.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Add a new feature to the Business Approvals Kit that would allow users to schedule reminders for approvals without having to develop a cloud flow.
Currently, users who want to send reminders for pending approvals need to create a separate loop or flow that checks the status of the approval and sends reminders based on a schedule. This can be time-consuming and complex, especially for users who are not familiar with coding or automation.
With this new feature, users would be able to schedule reminders for approvals directly within the Business Approvals Kit, using a simple and intuitive interface. Users would be able to specify the frequency and content of the reminders, as well as the recipients and channels for the reminders.
Describe the solution you'd like
The reminder text could be specified using a Power FX expression, which would allow for dynamic and customizable messages based on the context of the approval. For example, a user could define a reminder message that includes information about the approval request, such as the requester's name and the approval type.
In addition, we propose to add a new feature that would allow users to specify additional context messages for the approval request. These messages could be used to provide additional information or context about the approval request, and could be specified using a Power FX expression. For example, a user could define a context message that includes emojis or other symbols to indicate the urgency or importance of the request.
