Automated Email Scheduling

Post by sujitkar »

Hi all,

I am struck in a strange situation.
I have been asked to store a few documents in a calender (on some predefined dates) or somewhere and send them to all the user (in Email) as per the calendar dates.
I am not getting any idea on this. Kindly help.

Regards
Sujit

Here is the basics of how this type of system works:
1. You check the current date.
2. If your current date matches the date on which emails are to be sent, you send the emails.
Create some code and paste it back here :) Hth.
