Triggering a scheduled event based on the approval status

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have created schedules for my project (one task and one milestone) with three phases(draft,approval,approved). The milestone is dependent on the task.Task is created for draft phase and milastone for approval phase

Now after creating the schedules when I have saved the project, even before i put my project in the draft phase the schedule is getting triggered and can be seen on the workbench in the events channel.

That means the schedules are getting triggered based on the date irrespective of the task or milestone being completed and also the schedule for a task needs to be triggered each time until the task is completed.

So now I want accomplish two things -

1. How can I trigger the schedule only when the user puts it in the draft phase or any required phase ?

2. How can I send a mail to the collaborator each day until he proceed the project to approved status and only on getting "approved" status the milestone schedule should be triggered.

Both would require scripting...

on phase change, add the required events

build a custom class that gets called nightly via scheduled task and searches through the projects meeting your criteria and sends them an email reminder.
