Load message from URL (Originally: php newsletter)

Hi,

I just wanted to know if and how I could send out daily newsletters that is a php file?

Also, is there a way to schedule daily emails or am I stuck having to schedule them one day at a time?

Thanks!

Greetings,

I just wanted to know if and how I could send out daily newsletters that is a php file?

I am not sure of the question.. are you trying to send the result of a PHP web page via email?

Also, is there a way to schedule daily emails or am I stuck having to schedule them one day at a time?

You are somewhat stuck on this for now as I haven't yet added cron-style timing to scheduled email.

What you might do is set up a cron style followup set to * * * timing and then enable "Loop Followups" under List Settings.  This is all v1.85+ stuff.  Here's the followup help page with some timing examples.

I guess that would be the right way to word it, our newsletter is currently a webpage that is php.  I would like to be able to send the result via List Mail Pro.  The program allows for html emails, how would I send out the results of the php page of our newsletter to appear on the body of the email itself without having to have the subscribers to click on a link to view the actual page?

Thanks.

PS:  Sorry, I am new to this whole newsletter thing.

There may soon be a feature where you can specify a URL to "load" the HTML message from... Until then, your best bet is to click "View Source" on the desired page.  Copy and paste the source from the page into the ListMail HTML section.  Make sure ALL links and images use the FULL URL and are not relative. ie:

Code: [Select]

<img src="http://example.com/images/myimage.gif">
not

Code: [Select]

<img src="/images/myimage.gif">
and/or

Code: [Select]

<a href="http://example.com">Example Home</a>
not

Code: [Select]

<a href=/>Example Home</a>
Note that you must include a text copy.  What you can do is set up a message code of the type "Link to HTML" and use that as your text message.
