Automations offer great potential to alert owners/interested parties of action, but are frustratingly limited by the absence of a time based trigger.
In our case we want to conform to an SLA in processing ideas we receive and actively sending a reminder to assignee or other worspace owner that a threshold is approaching would be really desirable
Try new time-based automation rules
Now, you can automatically assign a to-do, add a comment, or send an email if a work item sits in a specific status for too long. This is a great way to remind folks to take action on something — such as initiatives that need approval or ideas that are waiting for review.
Great news that this is coming! I've already told our data analyst half of his reporting is soon redundant. Having this ability will allow me to offer more 'in-Aha!' reporting to our team, and need to send them to Tableau less.
It's a fantastic one & a great step to make the life of an idea & a moderator easy.
Similar use case here, where we want to use an age related trigger (time in status) to mark ideas as overdue. We currently do that in our Tableau reporting, but it is not reflected within Aha.
I almost added as a separate idea but didn't want to kill any critical mass ... in addition to age-related scheduling of an automation, we should have the related ability to trigger at a specific time (e.g. run every night at 7 pm), or at a specific interval (e.g. run every 6 hours). While this may be worthy of a separate idea, I think these could/should all be implemented together.
Agree with the original intent above but we also wanted to use a time based trigger to move old Ideas from one status (Ex: Future Consideration) to another (Will not implement) after a certain amount of time and votes. Thank you!
