Title: Choose time of day for sending
Post by: john193 on March 12, 2007, 12:09:45 pm

Hi Dean,

I noticed your system has the ability to send broadcasts to ones list. But I wanted to know if there exists or not the ability to be MORE SPECIFIC on future broadcasts.

For example, instead of  just specifying that the following email goes out on April 5, 2007, I would be nice to specify April 5, 2007 at 9:00 AM EST where 9:00 am is when the message would be broadcast.

Can we do that today ?  If not "can you add this enhancement to the product?"

Thanks

Christopher

This would be a nice enhancement as sometimes I send two emails daily....

I keep tossing this idea around every so often myself.  I do see the benefit.    It's coming... :)

Hi Dean,

I sincerely hope you'll add the broadcast feature which I think would be a simple tweak on cron jobs to allow us the ability to send a broadcast in the feature at some date and a specific time.

Got any time frame of when this functionality might be added ?

Depending on how often you need to select a specific time for a broadcast, you could go into your hosting control panel and simply reset the time when dailymail is processed to have the same effect.

What I have done on my server is to set a different cron job for different days of the month, so I can actually program a series of different sending times for each day of the month.

Of course, it would be handy to have this option within LM, to allow for some days to have 2 or more mailings.

Hi Dean,

You stated back in March 2007

WELL.... this is in regards to setting an actual TIME on Scheduled Mailings.

What sort of coaxing will it take to get this really cool feature added ? Is it really that complicated or what ?

Please advise....

Would love to see this ASAP!!
