Is there a "suggestion" area to ask for features (or a feature return in my case)?
For automatic campaigns, I'd really like to have the "Start Date" from Version 5 to be added to v6.
Without the "Start Date" feature, most of my auto campaigns have to be activated on the exact day of the month that I want it to recur.
For example, if I want an automated message to be sent on the 1st day of every month, I have to activate that campaign exactly on the first day of the month. Likewise, if I want to send a campaign on the 5th day, every three months, I must activate that campaign on the 5th day of the month.
I know there are parameters in v6 for auto campaigns but if you try to setup a campaign the way I describe you'll see that it can't be done.
In v6, go to AcyMailing > Emails > Automatic campaigns and "Create" a new campaign.
Once you get to the "Send settings" at the Additional settings - This campaign will automatically generate and send a new campaign:
Now try to use the settings to send the auto campaign every three months BUT WAIT these are (for my example) reminders for something that happens at specific intervals and months so they MUST go out on January 5th, April 5th, July 5th and October 5th.
In v6 you would have to activate that campaign on exactly one of those days. However, in v5 you could choose the "Start Date" which for this example, I would choose January 5th (given that that's the next of the mentioned dates on the calendar) and then the recurring emails would go out every three months from the Start Date.
I've already created several campaigns, deactivated, and when the day came for me to activate it for my needs I missed it for one reason or another. PIA.
Thanks.
