Recurring activities.
March 29, 2011, 10:39:09 pm
Hi,

I don't know if I'm missing something basic but is there anyway to have simple recurring activities in Civi?  i.e. make a phone call to a contact every Wednesday at 9am?

Thanks,
Malks.

I don't think currently it is possible, but u can do this very easily by creating a own custom files (cron job file) in 'bin' dir in your CiviCRM like civimail.cronjob.php,  CiviReportMail.php and using activity apis.

Thanks for reply.  That's part of the problem...

If I wanted users to be able to do it on any activity I would probably need to customise the activity form yes?  It's good to know I wasn't just missing something obvious :)

Even u can do this, just by adding custom data for the activities.
And reusing this custom data ( from db ), to create recurring activities.
( Yes, last option is to using some customisation or using custom drupal module to do this ).

oooh, I didn't think of that.  I was thinking I was going to have to create a custom form but I could just do that.

Thanks Rajan for the ideas.
Malks.
