Campaign event to send e-mail is set to run “immediate” but it always lists as being scheduled:
Code:
Product Info E-mail event will be triggered at Prod-Info August 31, 2016 5:49 am EDT
Emails are configured to send direct (not queued). Any ideas?

I’m kicking it off manually from command line. Also it’s transactional not marketing type. This campaign was copied from previous version 1.4 into v2.1 , I suspect a conversion issue, if anyone experienced similar?

properties in table `campaign_events ` for the campaign :
`'a:1:{s:5:"email";i:22;}'` \<-- in campaign builder this displayed as transactional, when type is omitted
Since it shows as transactional in the builder, I assumed no update is needed… I suspect it acted as “marketing”, not sure what the default behavior is. Once I updated to transactional it worked.
I’m sticking with that explanation!
