30.2.3 Scheduler
The Scheduler feature allows you to set activities to automatically run in your Events at scheduled times.
The Scheduler allows you to preset the Events Manager to perform like an assistant for the event supervisor by sending notifications, changing the status of an event or even following up with reminders to your various categories of invitees on the list.
Receive a notification when your scheduled task is done
