Auto Actions: Send E-Mail to user after xx Days without login

so the setting shown on my screenshots above are correct so far?

Looks like it, but you've Triggers and User values translated so I've no idea if it's set to None for Triggers and Automatic for User, but if it is then yes that's correct.

how can i access the link without being logged in on frontend?

You don't have to be logged. Ensure your actions access is set to Everybody and CB Auto Actions within CB > Plugin Management is set to Public.

there are also no mails sent when i hit the link

You may not have any users who meet the criteria. You need to test thoroughly and adjust as needed.

mhh i've checked it again..everything seems to be okay.
one of my test users has last visit date 2014-11-18 14:01:18...so the action should work, but doesn't

sorry for all these questions, but I'm just really confused with it. :blush: :lol:


EDIT:
ah now mails are sent, but there's something wrong with my receipients.

none of my field substitutions work there.

i tried both

To:
[cb:userdata field="email" user="#me" /]
[cb:userdata field="email" /]

Text:
Hello [cb:userdata field="username" user="#me" /]
Hello [cb:userdata field="username" /]

...

only my CC receives the emails (without text substitutions) :whistle:

problem solved.

there were some server delay or something, so the correct emails were sent a few hours later :silly:


thanks for your great help!!! works fine now!

Great - glad this is working for you.

If possible can you post a summary of the use case you were trying to solve and the complete solution?
This way other can read and learn.

yes, of course. here you are:

1. I've configured a CRON which runs every week. URL Internal User found in Community Builder -> Plugins -> CB Auto Actions -> Parameters

2. I've created an Auto Action with:

Global Tab:
Type: E-Mail
Users: Automatic
Custom ACL: Everybody
Trigger: None, Internal Users (don't know if last is really necessary, but this was the last working configuration I tried)

Conditions Tab:
[cb:parse function="time"][lastvisitdate][/cb:parse]
Less or Equal to
[cb:parse function="time" time="-13 DAY"][cb:date format="Y-m-d H:i:s" /][/cb:parse]

Action Tab:
To: [cb:userdata field="email" /] (so the mail is sent to the associated user)
Subject: Whatever you want/need
Body: For "Hello Text" I've used the following substitution:

Hello [cb:userdata field="firstname" /] [cb:userdata field="lastname" /]

Parameters Tab:
Reload User: set to yes
Exclude Users: not needed here
Format Funktions: no
References: not needed here
Debug: temporarily set to yes for testing


with these settings it works for me.


Notes: For testing I changed the lastvisitdate of some users in database (create backup before!) and ran the CRON via URL manually.

Thanks for posting ....

You might want to rethink your conditions so you avoid spamming people that do not login every week. Not sure how you woul ddo this, just posting food for thought comment.
