Is there an easy way to change the delay on an action? For example, the options are 1, 2, 4, and 7 days, but what if I want to add delays of 3 days, 10 days, and 14 days?
I don't know Velocity.
Thanks for any help

Technically I can do what I want to do via "Date based mailings." I want to stagger some mailings out several days apart from when a person subscribes to my list. I read:
"You can define three target groups greeting (creation_date +1 = sysdate), followup (creation_date +3 = sysdate) and reminder (creation_date +10 = sysdate) and three date based mailings which are sent to the according target group."
http://www.openemm.org/forums/ftopic861.html
But then I read that sysdate only works with the Oracle (commercial) version. Unfortunately there is a bug which prevents the usage of (creation_date = current_timestamp -1)
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.p ... tid=848488
Are there any other options?

What we're trying to do is set up a marketing mailing like....
1. You sign up for our mailing list
2. You get an automatic email from us 24 hours later
-- if you click in this mailing, you'll get another follow up email (12 different emails) that is related to what you clicked on within the next 7 days
3. You get another automatic email from us 8 days later
--- again as above, clicks on this email trigger another email within 7 days
4. You get another automatic email from us 15 days later
-- again with the clicking triggers
etc...
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
