To recreate a reminder you can extend the process the following way:

The System task blocks the process for a specified duration: The alternative gateway checks if the origin task is already done in the meantime:

If this is the case, the reminder process ends, otherwise a new reminder task will be created.

now we have more requirement: if HR role open reminder task then make a call to superior role already then HR make it done. But superior user once again forget to finish Dokument Checking task, so the system should create another reminder task to HR role (2nd time), this kind of loop should be keep over and over again until Dokument Checking is finish. How can we deal?

Thanks alot. this solution look more simple than our current way (using system task and set expired time for it then when it is expired we create reminder task.)

Hi Trung

it's a while now since you asked this question but maybe you (or someone else) are still interested in a solution.

Please notice: This only works with Axon.ivy 6.3 and greater.

You can find a demo project here which shows a pattern to create reminders to a task and destroy them if the concerning task is done.

At the To do step an expiry handling is defined as following:

The error start gets the task id of the expired task:

If the To do task is done before the remind task was, the Remind task will be destroyed:

The sent signal is caught by the attached signal of the Remind task:
