Future Date and Mailed Reports?

[jesse920]

Hi DW,

Two questions:

(1) How can I add a future date to an email followup? Example: if the follow up is being sent on Tuesday, March 7, 2006 but I want the code to say Wednesday, March 8, 2006 - how would I write it?

"your package will ship on !date+1" (today's date and add 1 day = future date)


(2) Is there a way in Listmail that shows which emails have been sent to the subscriber? (example: follow up 1, follow up 2, follow up 3 waiting to be sent, etc.)

Thanks and terrific script!

Hi Jess,

Thank you for your kind comments!

This is coming in the very next update via an addition to date-based message codes.  You can read about it here.  I should be releasing the update for general testing within 1 week.

(2) Is there a way in Listmail that shows which emails have been sent to the subscriber? (example: follow up 1, follow up 2, follow up 3 waiting to be sent, etc.)

Currently we do not store each and every message sent to each user but it is an idea for a future update - how important is such a feature to you?  You can currently view "Sent Messages" for messages sent with "Send Email" or the "Scheduler" and determine (hopefully) which followup(s) the user has received based on the "current followup" listed on the user "Edit" page.

Hi,

You can currently view "Sent Messages" for messages sent with "Send Email" or the "Scheduler" and determine (hopefully) which followup(s) the user has received based on the "current followup" listed on the user "Edit" page.

This is not an option DW, sorry, but from experience it's nearly IMPOSSIBLE to determine which messages went to which user based on current followups, etc...  just by looking at the "Sent Messages".

This is exactly why I'm asking for a detailed 'sent history' as we've discussed earlier in this thread:
http://listmailpro.com/forum/index.php?topic=455.0

Let us know when this may show up in a release?  As mentioned before, I'd like to see a Poll so people can vote on what they want in the next release, and also a Detailed - TOA - Time of Arrival on which features you are working on and when to expect them - I'm relying on LMP for mailings and I need a way to know if you will implement some of the features that are very important for me.
