Newbie Question: How to send an email every Wed., only on Wed., to segment?

My problem:

When someone registers (new) to the site, they receive the previously mailed newsletter instead of waiting for the following Wednesday.

Furthermore, the jump-to event, starts counting from the date of that mailing.

What am I not understanding? Thanks,

Yes, this is correct

Have you considered using the “at a relative time period” function in the Send Email Action?

Thanks EJL,

Yes, I’ve played with that function but it’s not clear from the above if that section has any impact on the “Schedule only on the selected days of the week.”

Should that be #7 days? or #1 days per the screenshot?

another way to play with this is by setting up a specific cronjob for this campaign and have the cron settings to only fire off on a Wednesday

example of crontab line:
1 1 * * wed php /var/www/mautic/bin/console mautic:update:campaign -I 5 (where 5 is the campaign id)
2 1 * * wed php /var/www/mautic/bin/console mautic:update:trigger -I 5
