This plugin allows you to send a campaign to subscribers of a list at a specified period after each subscriber joined the list (sending at a different actual time for each subscriber). For example, to send a newsletter to a subscriber 1 day after he joined the list.
This is a conversion of the Autoresponder plugin from phplist 2.10.x to phplist 3 being adapted to use the plugin architecture of phplist 3, and being substantially enhanced. The original plugin was developed by Cameron Lerch of Brightflock Inc. http://brightflock.com/phplist-autoresponder to whom credit is due.
Requires php version 5.4 or later.
This plugin requires the Common Plugin v3 to also be installed, and will not work without that. You must install that plugin or upgrade to the latest version if it is already installed. See https://github.com/bramley/phplist-plugin-common
The default plugin directory is plugins within the admin directory.
You can use a directory outside of the web root by changing the definition of PLUGIN_ROOTDIR in config.php.
The benefit of this is that plugins will not be affected when you upgrade phplist.
Install on the Plugins page (menu Config > Manage Plugins) using the package URL https://github.com/bramley/phplist-plugin-autoresponder/archive/master.zip.
In phplist releases 3.0.5 and earlier there is a bug that can cause a plugin to be incompletely installed on some configurations (https://mantis.phplist.com/view.php?id=16865). Check that these files are in the plugin directory. If not then you will need to install manually. The bug has been fixed in release 3.0.6.
- the file Autoresponder.php
- the directory Autoresponder
Download the plugin zip file from https://github.com/bramley/phplist-plugin-autoresponder/archive/master.zip
