Answer 1

You should create sharepoint solution with timer job definition included and override Execute method. Iterate through all items in the library and send email based on the column value.

Hi Balaji,

Create a Timer job to send email with document attachment from your set of folders.Take help from SharePoint 2010 Custom Timer Job - Send an Email.

After the time job deployment ,set run time from central admin as per your requirement .Go to Monitoring -> Review Job definition in central admin.

Hi Balaji_rcs,

Do you need to do this with Timer jobs?

You can do this without using out of the box features and wokflow in SharePoint Designer.

Open SharePoint Designer and create a List Workflow where you send email to user in the "Sendto" Column.

Access to Document Library Settings and select "Information management policy settings" > select the content Type "Document" > Activate "Enable Retention" and create "add a retention page", there you define 1 day and select the action for your Workflow created in SharePoint designer then define a recurrence of 1 day to be activated and do the job...
