I'd like to use the personlised mailing calendar component to send a weekly calendar reminder to people who request it. I've set up a mailing channel so people can subscribe. Is there a way to automate the mail sending so it goes to all subscribers to that channel at the same time every week with no human intervention?

We don't currently have scheduled mailings but this is something we're working on at the moment and it'll be released before the end of the month. It'll allow you to schedule a repeat mailing e.g.a weekly mailing.
Perfect. Txs Guys.
Great! I'm really looking forward to that!
it's in place now and works well
Oh, I just tried to use it and got a message that said - (scheduling disabled for this type of mailing). I'm trying to work out what mailings might be disabled and which ones work? Clues?
Can you only use scheduling when you are in a mailing channel with subsrcibers, not just for regular group emails?
Scheduled mailing is currently available only on mailing to more than 100 people. We do plan to add it for smaller mailings in the future.
Thanks for letting me know. Very helpful! We'd love it for all mailings, but that makes sense. Jess
Actually, to clarify, you can only schedule mailings sent to more than 100 people that you send through the mailing area. This is because we only schedule mailings sent to a specific group of people, as we can send it to whoever is a member of the selected groups again the next time it's scheduled, even if the list now contains different people. When mailing 100 or less people you can deselect individual users, or when mailing from a query you also don't necessarily get an entire group of people so we don't allow scheduled mailings for those types of mailing.
