Thanks for the help Mark! Mike - As Mark stated, currently there is no way to schedule automatic tasks in Method without utilizing the API, however, this may be possible when the new version is released. Check out this forum post which discusses the same topic. Hope this helps! - Ashur

I'm not able to see any Activity events on my calendar screens.  They worked before and then I tried to create a resource calendar based on specific activities.  That failed miserably and I tried to delete and change back everything I changed.  I don't see anything wrong... thoughts? Thanks, Greg

Hi MikeB Inside a Method screen design there isn't an option to raise an unattended event.  I don't know if Method intends to add this feature but we have been able to do this through the API.  So it is possible.

I would say we are pretty close, with the exception being that we don't automatically capture the customer's email reply and update the case notes. This would be done by the case handler by either Method, the gadget or plugin.  Your customers shouldn't notice much, if any change in what they do currently.   - Adam

Thanks for your response. So the short answer is "No, Method CRM cannot be configured to operate in the manner described." We're trying to decide what modifications will be required to our case-handling procedures to work around this limitation. The Outlook plug-in may help, but, at best, it will require more time and effort from ...

Hi jdcard, For Method, you would use Cases to keep track of your support cases.  With the addition of either the Gmail Gadget or the Outlook Plugin, it will allow you to log incoming emails and respond to those emails through the plugin/gadget by updating the case notes in Method.  It can either update or create a new case. ...
