Roster reminder emails
It would be useful if Jethro automatically emailed me X days before I am rostered on something: "You are allocated to X, Y and Z on date D".
Bonus points: Set different lead times for different roles, so for example the service leader could be reminded on Monday, and the bible reader on Thursday.
Perhaps alarms could also be added to the Jethro iCal feed ('VALARM's).
Having one's roster on a phone calendar is a killer feature, but severely underused by the techno-laity due to being a palaver to set up.
VALARM - interesting idea. Any ideas on client support?
Palaver to set up - yes. Any thoughts on how we can make it easier?
Hi there, I see this was requested 6 years ago so is pretty stale but just wanted to add my support for it. I would suggest looking at something like Postmark or Sendgrid integration for transactional emails like this as they seem to have pretty reliable delivery.
Hi Howard, please see the scripts/roster_reminder.php and roster_reminder_sample.ini which fulfill much of this request. Jethro uses whichever SMTP server you specify in the system config, which can be mandrill, sendgrid, whatever.
Great yea that looks good - thanks. I haven't used Jethro for a few years but looking at implementing it for a new church we're at so just seeing if it fits.
