Hey Matt,

Don't know if this is easily accomplished from a technical standpoint, but can you send reminders to contributors? Let us know when it's been six months or a year since our last contribution?

Brian

Hey Matt,

I contributed on August 23, but my profile hasn't been updated.

Thanks,
Scott

I will take a look now, Scott. Very occasionally the paypal notifications don't come through for some reason, but they do post to the account.

UPDATE: I have corrected it thanks! Matt

Hi Brian,

That's a great suggestion.

Maybe I could figure out a way to let folks know in each newsletter when their last contribution was? Would that work? Otherwise it is hard to remind folks with an appropriate frequency.

Regards,

Matt

could you set it up as a user profile setting?

Say a simple select box, with 3/6/9/12 month or whatever.
Save the 'set_date' and the 'offset' in the database, and check on login.
Each time the current timestamp is larger than the set date and the offset, send an email to the user...

...or somesuch...

Not easily. The only kind of group mailing we do is the newsletter. But thinking about this we could also append a note to the "notification" emails that sends thanks that month's contributors.

Regards,

Matt
