    Send out frequent scheduled emails

    Hello guys,

     

    I'm working with Umbraco 6 and using Newsletter Studio. My client needs to send a newsletter in 3 different time intervals: daily, weekly and monthly.

    I know that we can schedule the sending of the email to a chosen date, the client would like to set up the "repetion" dates only once.

    I saw this post:
    http://support.newsletterstudio.org/customer/portal/questions/1505511-working-with-newsletter-studio-programmatically
    but I wasn't totaly clarified by the explanation.


    Thank you in advance

    Hi!

    I see! Well, this is not a core feautre but with some custom code you can do it.

    What you would need to do is to

    1. Create a new email for each version that you want to have as a recurrent send out
    2. Create some code that runs on an set interval that copies the newsletter from step 1 into a new newsletter that you schedule for send out (using the code that you link to). The exact implementation depends on what version of Newsletter Studio you are running.
    3. If you need the editors to be able to change the frequency, choose newsletters etc. a new custom dashboard may be a good way forward?

    Hello Markus,

    Thank you for your reply

    Actually, the email template is the same. What changes is the subscription group for who the email is sent, wich is "daily", "weekly" and "monthly"

    I'm using the 1.4.5 version of NS.

    Where can I find the code to implement this?

    Do you have in mind to implement this option in future releases?

    Hi!

    Well then you will have to make sure that the script that you are creating creates the "daily", "weekly" and "monthly". The only thing that Newsletter Studio provides here is the API so that you can build this on your own.

    I can't say if and in that case when this feature will be added to the core but it's a good idea so I'll keep it in the backlog.
