Parcel Schedule: By Send Date

Overview

The By Send Date parcel schedule is very simple to use. It's premise is you can define a specific date (like a entry post date for example), and then use the relative date (if needed) to adjust when your content is sent. So if you wanted to send an email one week after your entry is posted, use "+1 week" as the relative date.

Send Date (Specific)

If you want to send a parcel in the future you may specify a date and time of when the parcel should be sent. If no send date is specified, then this field is ignored and emails are sent immediately (provided you don't set a relative send date). Any date format recognized by PHP's strtotime() function should work here.

Send Date (Relative)

This field allows you to specify something along the lines of "+2 days", "+1 week", "-1 week", "-5 days". If you enter a specific send date (above), then this field is relative to that date. If no specific send date is specified, then the current time is used. Any date format recognized by PHP's strtotime() function should work here.
