I want to send the same email every 1st of each month. Is it possible to do this with Mautic? ---

Hi, You can create a campaign: Step 1: Send email Step 2: Jump to step 1. (With the parameter of wait 1 month.) Regards: Joey ---

Make sure the email is set to be a transactional email, and not a marketing email. Marketing emails can only be sent once. ---

Yes, exactly. Thank you ---

OKAY Joey. This works correctly. But, could the email be sent on the 1st of each month? ---

Short answer: No. Long answer: Yes, but you need to do some tricks. ---

Are those tricks very complex? ---

Depends how the contacts who supposed to get the content are added to Mautic. Is it a form? Is it manual process? Is it an API call? ---

In this case it would be an automatic process that every month, on the 1st of each month, send the same email (it is a reminder) to clients to do a certain task. ---

I’m not sure how the contact is created. But in Mautic you can add a custom field “first reminder date”. You need to set this when you create a contact. This date can be picked up by a segment, and then the campaign will send the right time. Once you have the first date properly set, Mautic will make sure to send the emails 1 month apart. ---

Phew. Well yes, the truth is that it is a little more complex to do. Thanks for the help. ---
