I wouldn't; I don't think that make is a great fit for that kind of long running job. It's a great tool for managing DAGs of dependent, non-interactive, idempotent actions.
You have no DAG, and no actions that can be considered fresh/stale, so there's nothing for make to help with. SQL doesn't have much to do with that.
1. An email gets sent to a user
2. If there is no reply within a certain time frame, the email gets sent again
3. The above is repeated 3 times. If there is still no reply, a separate notification is sent to an admin account.
That is a common scenario, and trivial to implement as code. Show me how make would help here.
