Auto Action and time event ?

Is it possible to fire CB Auto-Actions on time events like:
once a week, once a month ...
one week after registration ...

We want to send email when users have not filled their profile, but we should send that only once a week for example. If there is not time on such action it will be fired every second up to the point the user fills the field!
We do not see any possibility to do that with Auto-action.

Nope, it's not designed for timed triggering. I suppose you can try forcing a trigger to fire on only 1 day a week using the date substitution. Example as follows.

[cb:date format="l" /] -> Equal To -> Monday

You could go even further to have it check a field if they've been reminded already.

[cb_reminder] -> Equal To -> 0

You'd then want a second field action to set that to 1 based off the same conditions (just copy the email action and change it to a field action then set the field to 1). You could then have another action that resets it to 0 on days other then Monday.

Thank you, this helps.

Would it be possible to activate an action with a CRON job ?
(this would allow different timing).

For that I would need to know the URL of the auto-action, so that the Cron job fetches this URL, and doing that, activatse the action.

In short what is the URL format to activate an action, using the auto-action Id?

I suppose so if that CRON for whatever reason perform an action that caused a CB trigger to fire. Such as after login or profile view triggers. Auto Actions doesn't have any built in CRON support through; that's not its intended purpose or how it works.

There isn't one.
