How to Create Daily Email for Update on Webpage?

For clarity, I’m looking for a solution that you can schedule emails daily, to be sent to the full list of MailPoet subscribers. And that list will point them to a page on the site where the video will daily change.

Is MailPoet the right solution for my needs? If so, how can I accomplish this? If it’s not the right solution, do you have other suggestions? THANK YOU!!!

Hope this helps.

Not sure if I was going to get a response here ?? but I wanted to share my new learning’s with others that might benefit from this.

One way would be to use the Post Notification Email which I can schedule to send daily regardless of any change to your content or new posts added, in this case instead of adding the “Automatic Latest Content Widget” in the message just add a link to your video page and a message that says you have a new video. The only drawback to this is that the message is sent whether or not if you have a new video or not.

Another option I found is a MailPoet – Zapier integration, so I believe that Zapier can be used to trigger the Post Notification Email and Zapier has a updated posts trigger which should also work for pages, so each time I update the video page it should trigger Zapier which triggers the MailPoet Post Notification Email.

This is only based on my research and I would recommend asking MailPoet & Zapier support for further help settings this up.

I hope this helps others.`I will share any additional learning’s.

Hi @juleskeeper,

The part I’m struggling with is how to send out daily emails to subscribers that point them to a page where the video changes daily. Which MailPoet email option do I use? Do I have to create a separate email for each day?

Unfortunately, I’m afraid you won’t be able to get this done automatically using MailPoet email types.

Updating the same page won’t trigger a Post Notification email to be sent. You’d need to publish a new page or a new post in order to do that.

I’m not aware of any workaround to achieve that using Zapier.

I believe you’d need to manually create a standard newsletter when updating the video on the page and send it to your subscribers to let them know there’s a new video there.

Personally, I would like to see this feature as an upgrade to the system. I have used other plugins that did do it, but I prefer Mailpoet. Even something that fools MailPoet into thinking that it IS a new post.
