Schedule
This page allows you to schedule when your mailing should be sent, and to rewrite the date and time sent to be the time when actually sent. You may also schedule your mailing to be resent. For a step-by-step guide to making mailings, see Mailings > New Mailing.
Schedule UI
The table below explains the options available in Schedule tab:
| Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Send When |
By default, your mailing is sent when you approve it. If you want to schedule it to be sent at a particular date and time, enter it here in one of the following formats: Or, click the calendar to select a date. You must specify a date; otherwise, the date is set to be 1900/01/01, and the message is sent immediately. |
| Rewrite Date When Sent |
By default, the date on your mailing is the date and time it is actually sent. If you want it to be the date the mailing was created, select No here. |
| Resend After This Many Days |
By default, your mailing is always sent once. If you want it to be resent periodically, enter the number of days before it should be resent. This feature is useful if you are sending a message to a segment which is constantly changing. For example, all members who joined exactly one month ago today. It is also useful if you are sending the same message but with conditional content that always changes. For example, a list of overdue books. Discussion lists which send out an FAQ about the list periodically to remind members about the list's rules can also use this feature. |
| Don't Attempt After Date |
This allows you to set a final cutoff date for sending the mailing. This setting overrides the resend after this many days setting, and is intended to put an endcap on mailings sent. If there are any transient failures in the mailing, Aurea List Manager only attempt retries up to and including this date. This can be useful, for instance, if a marketing campaign has a coupon which expires on a given date, and the content of the mailing is no longer be valid after a certain date. Enter the date in YYYY-MM-DD format. |
