Email notifications #25

Open ocdtrekkie opened 7 years ago

ocdtrekkie commented 7 years ago

It'd be super awesome if I could get email notifications for calendar events. This is probably the top way I interact with my calendar.

This is actually a feautre I would love to have myself. Unfortunately, Sandstorm suspends the grain when it is not in use (i.e not open in a browser, and no API interaction).

What would make this possible is some sort of a cron facility, where apps could register to be woken up on a rough schedule. Then we could handle sending the emails from the backend. This is tracked as https://github.com/sandstorm-io/sandstorm/issues/1150 in sandstorm platform.

Right. I knew that. :/ I am going to explicitly tag @paulproteus so he is aware of this use case for such a feature.

As a note, a cron API lives in an unmerged PR, so with any luck (and some hope), someday soon this will be possible. https://github.com/sandstorm-io/sandstorm/pull/2922
