We have the need to do some "Tutorial" based mailings. These mailings would be for subscribers and would consist of a series of daily or weekly mailings in a sequence. Mailing 1 would begin the day they sign up and each subsequent mailing would be on a scheduled basis.

These need to go in order so just signing them up for a newsletter won't work as users would come in at the middle of the series. The "Newsletters" would be created well in advance and put into a que for release based on when the user signed up.

User would sign up by category, so if they subscribed to "Mailing X" and mailing x was a seven week course with one mailing per week there would be 7 "Newsletters" beginning with Edition 1.

Is this possible? If not can it be? If not can any suggest a way to automate this proces?

Thanks
Bruce

Hi. I posted this on another thread but think its best here..

Unfortunatly Opt In Email is not currently setup to really handle a 'Series' like this. This request has come up a few different times but we have never been able to outline a good set of requirements and what the user-interface would look like (please post any suggestions or send them to us). I really think a setup like this would have to be setup in the initial Manage/Lists area. Something where you can specify a message that is set to go out on x basis (i.e. weekly) until they have received all of the emails etc... This would also only apply to any user who has never received each email etc... Anyway, something to keep on the list for the future.

So... let me know your thoughts as to how you would like this to work with the current functionality and where you would specify these. What do you think of my idea of specifying these on the list itself and so they are seperate from the standard advanced newsletter module? Almost like the 'Auto Verify Email' that goes out we could have an area to setup a number (unlimited) of 'Series' emails along with a the time between each email to distribute them (say every 14 days or something)?

Just wanted to follow up that this is for sure on the list now... There will be a new area in the next release of Opt In Email (probably Feb/March of 08) that allows you to define 'Series' of messages within each Opt In Email List. This way when the user subscribes you can setup the series to send 'X' number of days after their subscription. You can specify the same parameters such as email subject, body, 'X' number of days, etc... A seperate schedule process for process these to go out and will only go out to each subscriber 1 time. So you could potentially setup 10 Emails for the list, each 30 days apart by setting up 30, 60, 90, 120, etc... Users would receive these based on when they originally subscribed. Still setting up some of the exact specifications but this is the short answer, is this is on the way.

Did this feature get added?

I can't find any reference to it in the documentation or "Module Features".

If not, will it still be added? If so when?
