Adding Followups to an Established List?

[land]

Can someone advise me what will happen if I add a followup to an existing list that currently has no followups?

I am unsure as to how it will affect my list. Will it send everyone an email right away if I set the email to send say 1 month after their initial sign up?

And if I add sequenial followups will it send all of them as soon as I add them to the list?

In other words what I really want to know is how do I add followups to an existing list without ListMail sending emails to everyone when I add them?

Thanks for your help.

CJ,

Assuming your users are all at Seq 1 Delay 0 they will be queued to receive the first and then other followups you add.  The same is true when users are at the end of the followup sequence and you add a new followup.

When adding a followup you can use the option "Reset all users on this Seq # to new delay" to ensure a specific delay for users on that Seq # before the new followup is sent.

Currently the only way to avoid sending existing users new followups is with a custom MySQL query with a program like PhpMyAdmin.  To queue list 1 users for followup 3 with a delay of 48 hours (or, more accurate, skip 1 dailymail...) use a seq of 3 and delay of 1.

UPDATE lm_users SET cseq = '3', cdel = '1' WHERE list = '1';
