More scheduling options needed? What do YOU think!

  • We really love MailPoet and use it with lots of pleasure. There is however one – for us extremely important – thing we miss.

    More automatic scheduling options !!!

    Daily, weekly or monthly doesn’t fit or need. “Every two weeks” would therefore be a great addition. Mailpoet however informed me that this is not a priority for them right now.

    I therefore thought let me check here to see your responses. Do you also miss more scheduling options, such as every 2 days, every 2 weeks and every 2 months? I however fully understand their reaction…

    We just really believe once a week is too much for a site such as ours and once a month is way too long to generate sufficient traffic. Thus we need every 2 weeks.

    In the meantime I’m therefore considering another plugin. Any recommendations? It would however be a pain to leave Mailpoet!

    Thanks and looking forward to your opinions.

  • Hi ckhNL,

    You can create a duplicate of this automatic newsletter and then set it to another interval, this way you can have the same automatic newsletter on different intervals.

    Does this make sense?!

    Absolutely.

    This is what I have now, but doesn’t fully fit my needs as the smart logic of Mailpoet is missing like this. Mailpoet for example can’t correctly determine if newsletters should be send or not.

    That’s actually not a MailPoet problem. WordPress works with a pseudo-cron system that is triggered with visits to your website. You can make sure your newsletters will go out on time by creating a server side cron: https://support.mailpoet.com/knowledgebase/configure-cron-job/

    There is nothing wrong with my cronjobs. I was talking about Mailpoet.

    As you might now the automatic newsletters are setup to ONLY send out the newsletter if there are new posts since the last mailing. When you have 2 schedules next to each other this logic (logically) doesn’t work. Or do you have a fix to connect two different schedules to each other.

    That would be great and highly appreciated!

    I’m sorry, but if you don’t have a cron problem then I don’t know whats your issue. You can create as many automatic newsletters as you want, if you have a server side cron to trigger your website each minute, you can make sure that all your newsletters will be out on time if you have new posts published. That’s it!

    The issue has nothing to do with the technical sending of the newsletter. Its all in the smart logic of Mailpoet to NOT send out a automatic newsletter with a post that already had been send out before.

    This logic works fine for one schedule, but obviously not if you want to combine 2 montly into 1 every two weeks schedule. Please ask your collegues about this, because I can’t understand that I need to explain this to you.

    Hi ckhNL,

    Yeah I talked to you on our private support system already.

    It makes sense to have that option in your case.
    Let’s see who else is interested in that feature.

    Cheers!
