Question re: Follow-ups
« on: May 20, 2005, 10:38:48 am »
Hey Dean,

I want to add a follow-up to an existing list for *new subbers only*... meaning that I don't want everyone already on the list to get this followup (it was already broadcast to them).

How do i do this?

According to your help page it looks like anytime a follow up is added it is sent to the whole list automatically? I quote...

"When you add a followup to a list where users have completed the sequence the users will be considered ready to receive the new followup the next day (providing you do not manually change the default new sequence #)..."

Is there anyway to by-pass that?

Thanks,

Tina

The best way would be with a custom MySQL command with a program like PhpMyAdmin.

Lets say your last sequence number is 10.  Users at the end of sequence (not receiving any more followups) will be on sequence 11 with a delay of 0.  To add another followup without these users receiving it you need to change their sequence from 11 to 12, so they are still at the end of the sequence.

If your list is list 2 the custom MySQL command would be:

update lm_users set cseq = '12' where cseq = '11' and list = '2';
