Set timer/reminder on pages

[Lisa Perry]

I am developing a full suite of procedures and I need to implement a control of ensuring the procedure is reviewed on an annual basis. Is there a way to set a reminder or timer on a page that would then trigger a notification or email to a user?

Use the Better Content Archiving for Confluence  app this way:

1. Either set the exact expiration date on a page (or a tree of pages with one click, see the shot below!).
   1. Or just configure the "Expired" status in a way that each page gets expired 365 after its last edit (then you don't need to manually manage the expiration date)
   2. Or you can even combine the two!
2. Also, you can also set the owner of the page to review. It can be the person or persons who are responsible for that specific procedure.
3. Finally configure the notification  "Expired contents" to be sent to the owners, specific users, groups, etc.

When the expiration date comes or the date hasn't been edited for 365 days, the email goes out to the stakeholders. Then can then go, view the page and decide:

• set the expiration date to the next year
• make edits to the page or confirm that it is still valid without changes (both will automatically re-start the 365 day timer)

This approach will fully automate the review process. You can set it up once and forget about it!

Hi @Lisa Perry ,

You can use our Handy Reminder macro to set custom reminders with flexible notification criteria. For example, you decide who will get the notification (a particular user, several users, or user groups), when the notification is sent, whether it will be recurring, and what’s the period if so. You can adjust the notification message as well.

Handy Reminder is available within the Handy Macros for Confluence app. At the moment, it’s been implemented on Data Center and Server. Can you confirm that you need any similar functionality on Cloud? We’d be happy to discuss the details with you.

Best regards,

Anastasia
