Hey I have thought about implementing this feature, and I think it can be done this way

1. in the cron.js file fetch all tasks where assigned is null, status is open, limit to 5
2. send the task to an async function in mail/task.js
3. fetch all users in the async function in mail/task.js, map the necessary data to mailList and subjectData.
4. in the map function compare task.Labels array and user.skills string for a match using regexp.test to return a bool, if there is match prepare and push the templateData to return withTemplate() else return false to cease execution.
5. set the cron job to run weekly.
   note: is sendgrip api key available for testing the emails ?
