Next… Scheduled triggers

Wouldn’t it be fantastic if you could smooth out the peaks and troughs of the day and arrange your email newsletter mailing to go out at the time when it was most convenient for you – you know, when it’s quiet and you can concentrate. But that doesn’t usually coincide with the time that you want to send it, does it? Well, that’s where Graphicmail comes to your rescue again! We’ve created an autopilot mode for your email communications and it’s something that you can totally rely on to send out your emailer at the time that you want it to go, even if you’re not there to send it – it’s scheduled triggers :

You use a scheduled trigger to send your automated emails on a set date or at different intervals.  Sound familiar? Yes, of course ! Scheduled triggers are similar to the Anniversary Triggers in section one, but they’re even more specific. 

Remember those late payers who ‘forget’ that they are due to pay your monthly, quarterly or 6-monthly bill ? Well now you can send them invoices or payment reminders – or both by accessing TriggerMail from your account and setting it up to dispatch an email on the date or a few days before just to ‘nudge’ their memory. So even if Mr Hartley’s payment is due on the 9^th & Miss Robinson’s is due on the 27^th and you’ve setup your system to send 2 days before, Mr H receives his on the 7^th and Miss R receives hers on the 25^th. Alternatively, as you’re in control of the dates, you could arrange for them both to go out on the first of the month.

Sounding good?  It gets better! scheduled triggers can even be set to the time that you want the emails to be sent, which can ensure that memory-joggers to work colleagues, payment reminders and/or invoices to clients or any other automated emails will reach their intended recipient at a time that will be convenient for them - and you - allowing you to ‘drop’ that email mid-morning, after that 3pm meeting or even during the evening for those who you know do their office work at home.

All achieved without lifting a finger or checking a calendar/diary.  Well now that the peaks and troughs are looking smoother just remember that you need credits in your account to be sure that your emails are sent - even automated ones!  But, of course, you can do that at anytime 24/7 as well! So check the send credit level before setting those triggers.
