#1421

Active job is a dependency that come with Rails 4.2. Below is a breakdown of the tasks to handle:

• Install ActiveJob dependencies (if any) locally
• Using an ActiveJob tutorial (or docs) as an example, run a simple method once every minute
• Run app locally and watch if that method is run in the logs
• Add a database call to the method, to test that -- like incrementing the view count of a post, or changing the title to include Time.now.to_s and try refreshing the page to see it running.
• In the method, now send an email to your own address with a clear title like Test ActiveJob email so that you can make an email rule to stop it from flooding your inbox :-).
• Using resources like this, figure out if we can write a test for the email/activejob method
• set the interval much longer, like 1 day

This requires Rails 4.2 to continue; in progress at #1832 -- thanks, @StlMaris123 !!

And this will enable automatic sending of digests after #2027 is completed, too!

Hi @jywarren , I would love to implement this as part of Email Integration Project for GSOC. Also,I have some great ideas and have worked about replying by emails to comments.

That would be great. I'd love to see as minimal an implementation as we can, to break the ice on this. Would be good to check in on the Rails 4.2 upgrade PR as well! #1832
