Set RSS Trigger and Do not Allow More Than One Email Per Day?
(Canada)
Hello,
I am using the module to send out emails to users who subscribe to a feed that is updated quite frequently and then not updated for a few days and then updated once, etc. Is there a way to set it up so that it sends an update for each update except when there are a bunch in one day it will only send one update? For example have the email go out at the end of the day and send all the updates together?
I am currently using a combination of both daily emails and RSS trigger to get this balance. But there is still an overlap when there are a lot of updates in one day.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

As the logic stands now, we can't think of a way to make it work the way you describe without us changing the logic of the code.

Thank you for the quick reply.
Currently I am experimenting with the RSS Trigger Frequency option in the Bulk Emailer Settings. I have it set to 24hrs and am hoping that it will poll the feed once every 24 hrs and send all of the updates in one shot? Is this correct? I am still waiting for the system to send me an email so I don't know if it is working as I thought.
Would it be possible to add a feature that would allow us to set the polling frequency on a Per RSS basis? So that a time value could be set in the RSS Management config?

Unfortunately the way we apply RSS checking and campaigns to send with updated data does not allow us to easily add this feature. As such we have no plans to include it for now.
Sorry.

Hello again,
So I have set the recurring campaign to RSS Trigger and to send email after 1 new RSS items. RSS polling frequency for the entire module was set to to 24 hours and did not get any emails, then set to 12 hours and did not get any emails and have now set it to 6 hours and still not received any emails.
How does the RSS component check for updates? Is there a cache for each feed?

How have you set the polling frequency?

I edited the value for "RSS Trigger Frequency:" in the "Bulk Emailer Settings" page.
Am I misunderstanding the purpose of this option?

Hello,
Can you confirm that I am using this setting correctly? I am still not getting any emails even though the RSS feed is updated quite frequently.

You sound as though you are. Is the scheduler for DNN running without error?

Hello,
Yes it is. I have attached a screen shot of the scheduler history. It last ran today but I did not receive any emails.
Also, I setup the exact same RSS feed with MailChimp.com and it has been sending emails without issue.
I opened a ticket on this issue through the DNN store. Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated as we are advertising this feature on our launch of our site.
