More flexibility can be useful to run backgrounds jobs at custom frequency.

    We would appreciate more flexibility in so far that we run our "normal" archiving job (Find and Archive Expired Content) once a month, but would like to run a job daily that only finds and archives expired content that is labelled with 'archive' or 'archive-single'.

    Right now, notifications for expired confluence pages only go out once. For us, we'd like to adjust this so that notifications get sent out again if the page remains expired for some time. Basically, we want to nag the owners that they need to update their page if they don't do it within X days.

    This would be of great help as we have a few test spaces where we would need to run archiving daily for pages over 30 days, currently the job has to be manually run in the evenings as our normal run is done once a week.  Would certainly like to see the possibility of multiple job schedules.

    We need this feature to answer the call from our users about more flexibility for their archiving needs.
    Thanks,

    Hi Jpeng,

    Just a clarification (so others understand it as well): notification emails for expired content don't go out once. They go out every time when your "Find and Archive Expired Content" scheduled job runs.

    So for example by default, the job runs at 2 AM every Monday. If your teammates ignore expired content, notification emails will go out every Monday for content that remains expired.

    This feature request is about having more than one schedule for a job and having more flexibility.

    UPDATE: We have released the Better Content Archiving app's cloud version just a few weeks ago. It addresses many points criticized in the Data Center version, including also this one.

    (Our plan is that, if there is interest, we will back-port the most valuable changes from the Cloud version to the Data Center one.)

    Among others, it allows configuring a different schedule for each notification! 

    As you see in the screenshot above, these two notifications are sent according to different schedule (you can even preview when!).

    🔥 Try this in action!

    We would like to be able to have a bi-yearly global notification about expired pages and archived pages that goes out to all space owners automatically (which we have today and works great), but would also like to be able to set up a specific admin group (only) to receive these notifications more often (say, once a month) to track expired pages and stay ahead of any questions or support requests that come up after the bi-yearly notifications go out, but we can currently only receive one set of notifications on a schedule.
    Thanks,
    Dan
