Automation Schedulers
Schedulers repeatedly run the associated job at a specified interval of time.
Contact center administrator Akela Wolfe wants to remove contact data after a certain number of days in order to be compliant with data protection policies, such as GDPR.
To accomplish this automated process, Akela creates a scheduler. Set sets the Interval to execute daily at midnight and applies the following condition:
- End user last modified time—allows her to specify if she wants to target contacts that are newer or older than a specified time. Akela sets the condition to target contacts older than 90 days.
Then, she creates a delete end user's name in all identities job and assigns it to the scheduler.
With this configuration, all contacts that are older than 90 days will have their data deleted from CXone. This job will run every day at midnight because Akela used a scheduler.
