Author Topic: Create one activity per month for ongoing cases? (Read 794 times)

I would like to have an activity created automatically once per month for ongoing cases. This is to allow batch updates of the activity without requiring the case manager to click into each person's record to create a new activity each month.

I am not sure where to begin approaching this problem. It seems that using the activity api civicrm_activity_create( &$params ) would get the job done but where would it get called from?

I know this is loosely formed but I am not quite sure of what to ask, so the above is my first attempt.

Thank you for any advice as to where to begin with this solution.

You will need to write a standalone script and run it on a monthly basis (or via cron). There are some examples (though none involving activities) of such scripts in bin/* (in your civicrm directory)

Ah,

Ok. I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the resource location.
