Description

There are cases where being able to schedule in advance programmable emails to be send could come in handy. Here are a few example from personal experience:

  • Every Monday, send a reminder to the weekly owner of a rotation (e.g. every week different person in charge of it)
  • Every Friday, send a summary of commits/bugs/etc..
  • On a given date, send a reminder for schedule downtime/maintenance

By scoping the triggers to either a fixed date, or recurring task, along with limiting the event to sending email, this greatly simplifies the feature compared to T402.

I think we're unlikely to ever build this specifically. It's quite invovled -- the hard part is pulling the content of the email, not scheduling it. We'll build something that does T402 eventually (tasks + cron) and maybe build some of these use cases, but the described feature is a ton of app-specific integration work, not a general/simple mechanism.
