Email Members
Email Members is a plugin that sends email reminders to members based on renewal dates. This plugin reads the data from plugin ‘Tablepress’ and creates a personalized email to send out. If you desire to log the names and date of the sending of email, another plugin called ‘my-logit’ is also required. (Note: Tablepress can be downloaded from the WordPress repository.)
Plugin ‘Tablepress’ is required and at least two columns in Tablepress are required: renewal date and email address. To personalize the email message, First Name, Last Name, and Renewal date can all be included in the email message.
Within the plugin are several options to control the sending of email. Options include:
- Turning schedule on/off
- Turning the sending of email on/off
- Turning the Logging the sending of email on/off
- Setting Lead Time prior to expiration or renewal date<
- Setting the Tablepress ID number
- Setting the column numbers for the Tablepress columns
The following can be set up for the actual email message. Email fields are:
- To:
- From:
- Cc:
- Bcc:
- Subject:
- Email Message:
– In the email message you can use substitution for First Name, Last Name, Email Address, and Renewal Date. See below:
