Scheduled reminder emails
March 03, 2012, 04:10:54 am
Folks,

The problem identified in http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,23423.0.html is still an issue with 4.1.1. That post suggested a limit would be placed on how far back-in-time the algorithm would look when sending emails. Is there a plan for that?

Thanks,

Ken

Donald Lobo

Lobo,

T'is done - see CRM-9805

I took the liberty of suggesting another possible solution in my description of the bug.

Simply record a timestamp of when the civicrm_action_schedule was created. Then the email is only sent if the calculated 'date to send email' is greater than this date. If the user specifies a fixed date, only send the email for events and activities that start after the timestamp date.

Ken:

most of this was fixed in 4.1

We are sticking with the current solution, i.e. dont go back more than 24 hours or forward more than 24 hours since its simple and implemented.

Did u notice any bugs with the current implementation in 4.1? I've found a few things which we will fix, but seems like it works as advertised

if you do have already scheduled email etc, it might be playing havoc. Might want to "truncate civicrm_action_log" and do a clean test

might want to log mailings to disk, so u dont spam your user base :)
