ReturnBoard runs automated tasks (cron jobs) in the background to keep your workflow running smoothly.

Steps

  1. 1

    Daily digest emails are sent to team managers at 8 AM local time with a summary of completed return requests, pending returns, and team performance metrics for the previous day.

  2. 2

    Overdue return reminders automatically notify assigned staff when deadlines are approaching (24 hours before) or have passed.

    These reminders help ensure returns are processed on time.

  3. 3

    Optional auto-archive (Settings) can hide completed returns after a number of days you choose. Separately, retention jobs clean old audit/webhook logs (default ~90 days) to keep the database healthy.

    Archiving improves performance.
