Probably been asked a hundred times, but here goes :
* if I want to send an email to all members of a particular group each hour, and then remove them from the group (kind of an autoresponder thing), does Civi support that ? If not, anyone who did that care to share ?
* sending off a one-off email to a contact during the course of a hook : possibility to reuse an existing email template ?

Hi,

On 4.3 (or already on 4.2.7?) there is an api to create mailing and add people to a mailing, so in theory you could use it for drip marketing campaigns.

To re-use a template, you need to fetch it, do a token substitution and put the result as the body. Easiest is probably to take an existing code and check how it's done

OK, will check the API ... did not find anything earlier. As for the token subs, I was hoping to steal code ... or find some class in the core which does that already

will check for that.

We don't have an api (yet) for the token, but you can call the core class directly
