Hi all

Anyone's done a similar function, to send email newsletter to contacts in a group that is:

today = date-join-group + n-days (where n is the parameter)

some Email backend software can implement this kind of function as auto-responders. But I failed to do so in CiviMail. Was trying to implement this in my own module, but working with Mailing won't work because it will send to all contacts in the assigned group all together.

maybe using Email templates?

thx for any guidance on this!!

I suspect this might make a great use case for integration with Drupal's action / triggers / rules (http://drupal.org/project/rules/)

Would be great if you can investigate and figure out what needs to do to make this happen. We are super keen to see this happen, so will definitely be willing to assist / investigate / help you in your efforts

since this is to a specific contact, i suspect u'd be using "send mail to contact" functionality rather than civimail functionality

You might also want to investigate custom searches:

Basically, that's a wrapper around a custom SQL, and you can then use them the way you want (eg send a mail). You can create a "newly joined" group.

Instead of having to create a new mailing, might be possible to re-use the same mailing every day (been a discussion, not sure the conclusion)
