Rails application architecture for a marketing campaign creation module (e.g. to create logic where upon action A being performed by a user, event B will trigger in 7 days, and event C in 14 days, etc)
https://github.com/joshmn/caffeinate does this specifically for email but it wouldn't be too hard to modify it to make it work for other event types.

What's the best architecture/stack to send pre-programmed emails?
Another option is to dig into the Sidekiq scheduled job set if/when the loan end date is changed (which you can detect via a Rails after_commit hook and then by checking the model's previous_changes), delete the originally scheduled job, and schedule a new job for the appropriate time. For example, the hired/reactor library implements its watch option in this way; see relevant code here and here.
