Schedule email to user using Rule sets
eranglr - November 25, 2008 - 12:07
I am trying to resolve a simple problem - How to send a customized email to user after X days from registration??
Tried using rule sets, but just can't figure out how to use it properly (there is no real tutorial regarding rules set / schedule emails).
also, I am trying to add user a role after x days (for example - after 30 days of been a member, I know that there is a module for drupal 5 called role delay, but I prefer using much more flexible way - RULES).
THANK YOU,
Eran
I haven't done anything like
I haven't done anything like this yet, but my guess is you'd have to select the cron event, then add a condition with custom php that checks the current date/time against the user's registration date/time in order to execute the actions of a sending an email and changing/adding a role.

Problem is
example-->
did the following:
1. added a new rule
2. called it "send email after 2 days"
3. choose cron event
4. condition: Numeric comparison==> number 1 is [date:site-date-yyyy]
Equal
number 2 is 2008
action: Display a tokenized message to the user. message is: congratulation!
so, when I'm running cron, I don't get this above message..
what am I doing wrong??

Also, I thought about using
Triggers to accomplish that..

i don't see how you could do
i don't see how you could do this with core triggers/actions-- they have far less features than rules.

I think that with rules it's not possible either

It is-- it's just a matter
It is-- it's just a matter of getting the php code right. Sorry, I just don't have the time right now to work it out. If I get a chance to look at it, i'll post back.

Resolved?
Did this issue ever get resolved? I'm trying to do something similar. I looked at autoresponder, which sends e-mail on a schedule. However, it means people need to sign-up for it. I want them to receive e-mails when they sign up. I am also struggling with workflow.
