i would like to make an app to make apointment reminders, ie reminds me day before apointment and another 1 hour before apointment. iam planning on using a bot that is called to wait until set time then send reminder. my question is, is this a good way to do it, and if so when a bot is called more than Once, will it create several instances for itself, or it will be the same bot which gets reset ea time.
So one day before is easy. Just setup a bot that runs at 0900 every day and looks for jobs where [AppointmentDate]=Today()+1
One hour before is tricky. In theory you'd need 24 bots, each with a different time trigger. But they could all use the same process.

So bots do create several instances of themselves if alledd multi pl e times
