Hi

In Newsletter V3 we now have the option to send the newsletter on a (later) specified time.
Under this option, there is the following text (translated):
For this feature to work, a remote scheduled task must be set up and configured.

Is there any more information about how to set up this sceduled task?
Is in in DynamicWeb or on the hosting server?

Any information would be appreciated!

Hi David

This article is about setting the right settings for the mailserver.
These settings are correct, we can send the mails with the dropfolder, works great.

But whe are not able to send the mail at a defined later time.
If we use the option, the mail will not be send. We think it's because some extra settings have to be done to send the mail at a defined time. (Like the line below the dateselector says) But we can't find wat settings and don't know where to change it.

Hi Martijn,

The task that needs to be executed is:
/Admin/public/newsletterv3/task.aspx

So you need to set up a scheduled task on your server, that executes this task, every ten minutes or so. We usually use Curl for this:
http://lbr.net.dynamicweb.dk/files/filer/curl.zip

The path you have to write in your scheduled task is:
"C:\Program Files\CURL\curl.exe" http://yoursolution.net.dynamicweb.dk/Admin/public/newsletterv3/task.aspx

See screenshots of the settings here:
http://screencast.com/t/vo85TpHU9EU
http://screencast.com/t/hPuz7PsYNiuO

(Make sure to place the Curl-program in C:\Program Files\CURL)
 

I recommend adding the solution-url that is used for this task to the hostfile of the server as well:
127.0.0.1       yoursolution.net.dynamicweb.dk

Hi Lars

We added the task.aspx page into our own Request Service.
It just has sended the mails that where on the list to be send, so it works nice!

Thanks for your information and support!

Martijn
