Schedule Emails and Produce Reports
This is a web site that will require a lot of work for a long time. I will try someone on a small project, evaluate the work and if satisfied I will award more work. Please see TheBirthdayRegister(dot)com
This small project is:
To alter a web site that collects double opt-in information into a database, puts information from the database into a layout, and sends emails.
This database contains information including Name, Birth Date, Email, Zip Code, and more.
Currently a list is pulled from the database and the emails are manually sent upon submission. I want to create an option to schedule the list to be automatically pulled and sent at a time relative to each birth date located in the database.
Example: February 19th, I pull a list of all the listings with birth dates in April with a zip code that starts with 782. I schedule an email to be sent 3 days before the birth date. Each day a list is automatically pulled, of all the birth dates that are 3 days away with a 782 zip code, and the email is sent.
So, if i tell a batch of emails to send 5 days before the birthdate, it would send 5 days before the birthdates in that batch. So if i pull up a list of all the emails with birthdates in May, I would tell it how many days in advance I want them sent
and then every day, it would send some emails.
I'm open to suggestions but I'm thinking about a drop down menu with the number of days selected, something like this:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
15
20
30
45
60
90
Also, I have an Access db and I've been doing manual reports. I need to have reports produce on the website and have some of them automated. I'm open to suggestion but here's what I'm thinking:
Manual emailing reports:
Manual reports available by merchant(layout), zip code range, and date range.
Automatic emailing reports:
Automatic Reports sorted by merchant(layout) and listed by specific zips designated to a merchant(layout)
Reports will list: Sent Date, Time, Opened?, Layout, Birth Date, Gender, ZipCode, (& Categories? Selected vs Sent)
These reports should also be downloadable in Excel and/or txt
