A New app: Delayed Status Change

You might wonder: "why would I want to delay something like a status change". Let me explain a use case for this app.

Assume you are interfacing with customers and prospects and you send some brochures or other information to your prospect. Wouldn't it be nice to contact that prospect x days later? With this app you can achieve this easily. When you change the status to "Information sent", the system will change the status to "Contact customer" after x amount of (business) days. All you need to do is to configure this little recipe:

The app will take care of changing the status after the configured timer expires. You can have as many of these recipes (for different status values) on your board and thereby create a nice little process flow. Because the action executed by this app is just another status change you can use further automations and integrations to notify someone in your team or to send an automated email to your prospect.

For those interested in some technology: the app will write the scheduled event to a persistent datastore and will only delete it from there when the action is executed. This ensures your process flow survives restart of the app, the service or even a complete reboot of the server.
