This last recipe concerns timers. This functionality allows users to define specific actions, which should be performed after a certain period of time. Let's modify our previous recipe a little with the condition example and add a timer definition. Our assumption is that the task called Main Thread Review shouldn't wait more than one hour for assignment to any user. After one hour, this task should be assigned to a user with the [email protected] e-mail.
