Hi. I'm looking for a solution to make "trial" version of a newsletter.
Users add them selves to a newsletter. They get the newsletter for 14 days, then their subscription ends, and they get a mail telling them to contact us if they want to still recive the newsletter.
Is this possible with OpenEMM?

Hi,
yes, i think it's possible, but it would require a target group to be updated daily.
My first idea is to create a Target Group that would target recipients whose creation date is newer than 14 days ago. For example, if its the 3rd of september you would create a rule like
But you would have to update this target group rule every day.
I browsed the source code and it seems that a small date-algebra was thought of. You can use the keyword "sysdate" to reference the actual date (this part works!) and the system accepts input in form of "sysdate+<number>" and "sysdate-<number>". Sadly, it doesn't seem to be evaluated!
If it would, you could exchange the date "20080820" above with "sysdate-14" and it should work pretty well.
Maybe some OpenEMM-developer can give a statement about this?
