    I’m setting up a website for board members of a non-profit who need to be notified when the contents of particular pages have been updated. Updates are not frequent and the notifications are not urgent, but there might be several page updates in a day. To prevent email overload on the board members, I’d like to schedule a single notification at the end of the day rather than an immediate notification for each update.

    How would you suggest setting up a single daily notification rather than an immediate notification?

    Thanks,
    Tim

    Hi Tim,

    thanks for the message. Unfortunately, there’s no option to do this at the moment, but I already have such an extension on my to-do list.

    You could achieve this using the Scheduled Triggers extension and a simple snippet of code.

    It would be required to add a custom schedule (every 1 day) and set up the notification properly. After each update, we’d have to clear the information that specific post has been already targeted and notification has been sent and this would be the job of the custom snippet.

    To help you understand how would it work, let’s say during one day you are updating 3 posts:
    – Post A – updated 3 times
    – Post B – updated 7 times
    – Post C – updated 1 time

    The recipient, at a specific time, will get 3 emails, all at once:
    – Post A updated
    – Post B updated
    – Post C updated

    If that will work for you and you are running a non-profit I’ll be happy to offer you 50% off.

    That’s exactly how I would want it to work! Step 1 is to buy the Scheduled Triggers extension. Step 2: Create the custom snippet. Step 3: Hire you to write the snippet if I can’t figure it out. Approximately how much would Step 3 cost, if required?

    I think it could be handled within the support 🙂

    We are selling support separately and it’s billed monthly. If you’ll purchase for one month I can create that snippet for you. You don’t need to renew that subscription unless you want to!

    My client purchased a license for Scheduled Triggers along with support. I submitted a support ticket at bracketspace.com to request the snippet of code.

    Thank you!
