Question about CRM_Core_BAO_MessageTemplate::sendTemplate
February 04, 2015, 02:56:02 am
Hello everyone,

I'm writing a Civi scheduled job to send emails to our members with the latest updates to their network regularly - in a frequency they chose.

When the cron job runs I determine which members should receive an email and send it using CRM_Core_BAO_MessageTemplate::sendTemplate . I'm calling this once for every member with different params (name, email, etc). There are also tokens being replaced on the message template.

I would like to know if this method of sending the emails is queued/scheduled, because I don't want to halt our server to a stop if by any remote chance I have so send them all an email on the same day.
Or should I email them in another way?

Thank you for your time,

Vitor Nobrega

No, I don't believe that has any queuing/scheduling built-in. AFAIK, the only time there's queuing/throttling is with CiviMail blasts. "Scheduled Reminders" do have a scheduling component ( :) ) but I'm not aware of a queuing/throttling mechanism in there.

If you need support for queuing/throttling *all* outbound messages (not just CiviMail blasts), then you might setup your own intermediate SMTP server (e.g. Postfix/Exim/Sendmail) and cozy up with a good configuration manual (and a big pot of tea).

If the queuing/scheduling needs to be something more nuanced, then I don't think anything off-the-shelf will work.

Thanks for your reply totten,

I think the scheduling component will suffice, but its good to know what other options are out there.

Thank you!
