How to obtain the current date in a canvas, or how to know the date of entry to the canvas of a user
How to obtain the current date in a canvas, or how to know the date of entry to the canvas of a user? I have to send emails every Tuesday, but I need new subscribers to only receive the current week...
Hi Davido,
I need to send an email every Tuesday for a month, but each week's email is different. Additionally, I have to send the email to everyone, including new subscribers. If a new subscriber joins during the second week, for example, I need to send them only the emails from the second week onwards.
If the decision split component could compare dates, that would solve the problem, but it seems this is not possible. If you have any suggestions, I would appreciate it.
thanks for you time
I'll keep thinking on the canvas as it sounds like you might be using that but if you are only running these for a month (4 emails I'm guessing), could you create 4 single send campaigns that run one after the other. They would all use the same segment, so if new users join in the week between newsletters, the next time it sends those users will only get week 2 onwards for example.
Week 1 campaign : Send email to 'Newsletter Segment'
New users added to 'Newsletter Segment' during the week
Week 2 campaign : Send email to 'Newsletter Segment' which includes existing and new users
New users added to 'Newsletter Segment' during the week
and so on....
