I was wondering if there was anyway to use the Schedule Reminder functionality for when people make a gift of a certain ordinality (like make a first-time gift) or based on which contribution page someone is using.

My organization wants to send a set of automated welcome messages after someone makes a gift for the first time to our organization. We also want to have a different message when someone uses our monthly donation page to make their first gift than every other time that gift is processed.

Thanks!

Paul is working (not sure if finished) to be able to trigger the reminder based on other stuff than activities. I think it's coming for 4.4

I have indeed been working on a patch to change the options  scheduled reminders can trigger on. Extending that is not too painful, although it takes some testing to ensure nothing else breaks, but it is the UI that is difficult to make clean. That being said, someone commented on the possibility to have a smartgroup to select items with, which is nice but limited to contacts.

Ideally, we could use a saved search to select the items we want, but I have not been able to spend a lot of time on this topic.

Would be good if your org can contribute the code. I suspect its not too large a project

I would love to do this if we had anyone at my org capable of the coding (both time and skill wise). However, it is nice to hear from others that this is something that is being thought about at least

Hi all.  We are crafting a communications work flow plan at our organization, and the ability to do a scheduled reminder by contribution type (ie one for sales, one for donations, etc) is needed.  Can you report on any progress in this area since October?  Thanks so much!

any chance of a link to a diff to see how this was done?

 

Hi Guys

I'll get one of our team to post onto our github repo in the next few days. Watch this space!

1. Supporting contributions in reminder (Campaign, Payment Instrument, Contribution Status, Source)
2. Showing count of reminders going to be sent, when a reminder is enabled.

Code for #1 and #2 (CiviCRM v4.3): https://github.com/deepak-srivastava/civicrm-core/commits/4.3-llr-contribution-reminder-plus-alerts (last 6 commits)

A quick comparison with CiviCRM v4.6 code: https://github.com/deepak-srivastava/civicrm-core/compare/master...4.3-llr-contribution-reminder-plus-alerts (seems like not much changed)

3. Is recipient a hard or soft credit - https://gist.github.com/deepak-srivastava/66ba347a14bba4cb8cf8
