Hi All, I have read as much as I can about the various newsletter extensions, but have not found what I am looking for.
Once a customer purchases (certain) products, we want to send a series of newsletters to them in order. These might be spaced 1 day apart, 1 week apart, or some other day spacing.
Does anyone know of an extension that will allow us to do that?
It would require the saving of these newsletters so they could be continuously re-used for every qualifying purchase.
Thanks, Graham
To set up a mailing like this that is triggered by "future time dates" your easiest bet would be to use CRON. Or, you can set up quite a bit of code to compare to a future end date.....triggering emails in blocks of time. Example:
Current date would be stored in a field in the database each time a mailing is executed. Pretty basic stuff

Code: Select all
if THIS DATE < END DATE AND > CURRENT DATE

Thanks Avvici,
I am fairly competent php/mysql programmer and you are right that the basis of the solution is pretty basic stuff. Though I am guessing I'd need extra customer or order fields to handle the management of who has received what and when do they get the next one.
So I was hoping to get an extension that did the job.
