Post Notifications behavior

    Hello,

    After having read the official documentation, I cannot find some details how Mailpoet behaves with weekly (or monthly) Post Notifications.

    • When there’s no post since the last email, will the new email be canceled or send with the same content as the previous one?
    • Is there a way to restrict Automatic Latest Content to the latest content published since the latest newsletter? I see only a fixed value. Here are my assumtions: if I set the value to 5 but 8 posts were published, 3 will be missing. If I set the value to 10, people will receive 10 posts, but 2 have already been sent previously.

    Thanks in advance for your explanations.

  • Hey @benoitchantre,

    These are good questions you raised.

    When there’s no post since the last email, no new email is sent.

    Is there a way to restrict Automatic Latest Content to the latest content published since the latest newsletter? I see only a fixed value. Here are my assumptions: if I set the value to 5 but 8 posts were published, 3 will be missing. If I set the value to 10, people will receive 10 posts, but 2 have already been sent previously.

    We’d recommend you set this number based on the maximum number of posts you’d like to share with your subscribers.

    Your Posts Notifications won’t send repeated content. If you set the value to 10 but only had 8 posts published, it will send only 8 posts.

    If you set the value to 5 but had 8 new posts, you’re right: 3 will be missing.

    Just this past month our cron job ran and it actually pulled all 25 posts (which is what we have it set to), not just the “new” posts since the previous month’s run. It should have only pulled 6 posts.

    Additionally, it’s didn’t pull the Issue number into the title bar.

    Finally, when I do a “preview” email it continues this behavior (of pulling all and not displaying an issue number).

    Did something change in a recent update that it no longer honors only pulling “new” posts?
