Task Reminder Notifications

I would like to ask if there is a best way to send reminders for pending tasks on tickets. I am thinking of creating a report for each task that will list all open tasks of a particular type and send to the responsible parties if the tasks have not been completed in x amount of days.

I wanted to ask if there is a way to automatically send reminder notifications to responsible parties if tasks have not been completed within a certain amount of days or working hours without having to create report delivery schedules?

Thank you.
