CommCare Reminders

Works alongside CommCare to send users push notifications for scheduled tasks.

The CommCare Reminders Application is a simple Android application that can integrate with CommCare to send users reminder notifications for future tasks. The CommCare Reminders Application works by periodically fetching "commcare-reminder" cases from the associated CommCare application. These cases are used to populate a list of reminders within the CommCare Reminders Application. The CommCare Reminders Application lists all of the reminders from CommCare and notifies the user of the same through a push notification.

The description below describes the mobile user workflow for sending a reminder push notification for a particular task:

> The CommCare application creates cases with specific case type “commcare-reminder”

> The CommCare Reminders Application scans for any cases with the case type “commcare-reminder” on a case creation event

> The CommCare Reminders Application takes data from the “commcare-reminder” case and adds it to the list of reminders

> The user receives push notifications from the CommCare Reminders Application with the reminders

> The user clicks on the notification from the CommCare Reminders Application to open a particular CommCare menu screen or the CommCare Reminders Application itself, depending on the configuration
