ColdFusion Mail: Automatic generated email?


I'm working on building a automatic system where our staff can fill out a form for CPR certifications. I need a way to generate a email automatically and send a reminder to the staff person in charge that Xyz person's certifications expire on X date, ideally something like 2 months before, 1 month before then 2 weeks before.

Anyway to build such an automated email system in cold fusion? Sorry if this is dumb question, I just started in ColdFusion TWO weeks ago.


Solution

  • Yes, the ColdFusion administrator has a built in task scheduler that you can use to run a nightly process that will send the emails you'd like.
