Module of the Week
with Avi Schwab - froboy.org froboy
This module (2.x branch) provides a generic scheduler for processing webform submissions. There are two kinds of plugins developers can write to hook into the scheduler:
Result set plugins: these allow you to create a group of submissions which will be processed by the task. For example, all submissions since the last time the task was run or the entire set of submissions attached to the form.
Task plugins: these accept an iterator of submissions from the result set plugins and perform some action. An action might consist of exporting and emailing the set of results or providing a summary of the submissions that occurred in the last week.
