Combine multiple emails into a consolidated email

[SerbanNitu]

Helloes,

We are having the following scenario: the planned completion date is today for an approval task, and we would like to send an email to the user who should be approving it - that s totally fine and we managed to achieve this easily. 

Now comes the following case: there could be multiple tasks that are supposed to be approved today (either in the same project, or different projects). Is there any way we could consolidate all those tasks or projects links into a single email that we send at the beginning of the day lets say, so the users are not spammed with emails? 

Have a great day ahead!

You would need to expand that initial scenario to look for all pending approvals and collect the user & and the approval item.

Then you group that set by user and send each user an email with the list of their pending approvals.

Hi,

The way i would approach this is by having a search module that would pull the multiple tasks that are due for today's approval for a certain user. I would then use an aggregator module that aggregates all the URLs (with a carriage return in between). After the aggregator module, you can then set your email module that pulls the text from the aggregator and sends a single email to the user. I have put a screen shot of a simple fusion illustration that hopefully explains better what i mean.
