Our team knows how to schedule an extraction in Tessitura so that it shows up in Wordfly at a specific time, allowing the extraction to be the most up-to-date it can be.
Then, I can go in and manually send or schedule the email in Wordfly.
Where we're stuck is a scheduling process that combines these two. Once an email is designed and an extraction built, we want to be able to totally automate the process, so that the email is automatically sent as soon as the extraction is run.
As it stands, we can't figure out an option that allows me to totally schedule emails ahead of time - which is obviously an issue if I want to, say, go on vacation. It seems someone else will always have to go in and manually import the extraction into the campaign and then send.
I want to be able to schedule an email a week ahead of time, but the only way I can figure out how to do that would mean we are sending to an extraction that's a week old, missing new subscribes and unsubscribes. Ideally when I schedule an email a week ahead of time, the extraction would update at that time as well.
Any thoughts/solutions?
I'm fairly new to Tessitura so if I'm using terms in a confusing way, please let me know and I'll try to clarify what I'm looking for.
I'm so glad you asked this question. We are brand-new to Wordfly and only a year into Tessitura so I'm still getting used to everything - but what you want to do is exactly what I'd like to do as well, particularly for performance reminders and other emails.
