Using this plugin conditionally

  • Hello,

    I need to implement more complicated conditions to determine if and when a newsletter should be sent – basically I have to make some database queries first to find out if the conditions are met. I’m trying to achieve this by launching my own script via crontab – the script will check the conditions, and only if they are met, trigger the newsletter-sending process.

    Is this something I can (ab)use the Tribulant plugin for?

    Probable needs:
    – For my purposes, I somehow need to trigger newsletters individually (from my script). Is there an URL or a specific function I can call to achieve that?
    – Although this seems like an old article – https://tribulant.com/docs/tag/hooks/ – I guess those hooks still exist and can be used to alter the newsletter content from my script?

    Thanks!

    Yes, you can definitely do this with the Newsletter plugin.

    Your script can run and do it’s thing and then you can use the functions/methods and hooks of the Newsletter plugin as you wish.

    For example, you can send an email using the execute_mail() function inside wp-mailinglist-plugin.php file of the plugin. But it takes a subscriber object so you’ll first need to save a subscriber.

    Will you digg into the code and see if you find what you’re looking for and let me know if you need any specific direction?
