Requesting an email

• Go to maniphest’s advanced search and complete your query, copy the url.
• Fill out [2] and state your email
• Someone with access may process the request (add them to the <frequency>.csv file)
• Watch your inbox and wait.

Setting up a new cron

1. Create a new file with the people to be notified on that schedule.
2. Type 'crontab -e' and add a line for the relevant time to trigger the command 'python3 phab.py <file>'

Triggering a manual run

To manually run the tool, simply become it and type 'python3 phab.py <file>'

• For weekly and monthly runs, the simple 'weekly' and 'monthly' shorthand may be used instead of <file>
