Retro New Feature: Schedules!

 
From: "Justin J justin@PROTECTED [Dada Mail Developers]" <dadadev@PROTECTED>
Date: December 4th 2014

Hello Everyone,

I've been hard at work with rewriting Mass Mailing Schedules in Dada Mail The venerable Beatitude plugin is getting a bit long in the tooth, and is written in a way that makes it very, very hard to enhance in any really easy way It's marked as, "deprecated" (I'd like to dump it, ASAP)

Instead, I've added scheduling as an option to both the Send a Message, and Send a Webpage screens, so that you can turn any draft message into a message to be sent sometime in the future, rather than right away Currently, the only two options are to activate the schedule, and to set a date at which time it should be sent I may keep it that way, for the time being It seems rather simple - and it is, on that front In the backend, it was a load of work to get done, as message creation was so intermingled with how things are currently being done, that it was almost a rewrite of how all that stuff gets done But since it's been all rewritten, it's now so much easier to reuse So, for example, it's not such a difficult thing to enhance the current RESTful web service API to allow you to send a mass mailing out, with all the options present in the Send a Message/Send a Webpage screen That'll be pretty powerful, too

Work's currently being done at:
