[Vtigercrm-developers] Vtiger Workflow Running In The Background

[Adam Heinz]

We have a workflow that emails customers the day before their appointment
that has

$wm = new VTWorkflowManager($adb);
$wf = $wm->newWorkflow('Events');
$wf->executionCondition = VTWorkflowManager::$ONCE;
...
$wm->save($wf);

$tm = new VTTaskManager($adb);
$task = $tm->createTask('VTEmailTask', $wf->id);
$task->trigger = array(
'days' => -1,
'field' => 'date_start',
);
...
$tm->saveTask($task);

Based on this, it seems to me like it would be easy enough to email them
once... so write a yearly cron job to reset the sent flag for
all VTEmailTasks of that workflow?
