Need help emailing yourself? This page should give you enough information to use the site.
The format used for the "when" field is split up into three parts: recurring, relative and absolute.
Each part is described in more detail below.
When formats are finickity, make sure you double-check the way the website interprets the written input before saving your email schedule.
Recurring email schedules allow you to keep your life on track.
Create email schedules for the future you and hope that you'll actually listen to them.
The following recurring formats are available:
Recurring formats can be combined with absolute formats:
Absolute formats are not based on the current time, they are absolute.
An absolute format is either a time or a date.
Absolute dates are pretty straight-forward, they try their best to figure out which number is the month and which number is the date.
If the date and month are ambiguous, the sensible European standard is assumed (dd-mm-yyyy).
Below are a few examples of absolute dates:
Absolute times work like this:
Relative when formats are relative to the current time.
In some cases they can be combined with absolute formats.
They can not be combined with recurring formats because that does not make sense.
The following formats, and simple variations of them, are supported:
Relative formats can also be combined:
Some relative formats can be combined with absolute formats:
You can add formats to the what text of your email schedules. The formats are replaced with dynamic values when the emails are sent. The available formats are listed below.
Adding "%t" to a what text will get replaced with the times an email has been sent (including the current email).
The value can be offset by suffixing +(number) or -(number).
Examples:
Adding "%a" to a what text will get replaced with the amount of days ago the email schedule was created.
The value can be offset by suffixing +(number) or -(number).
Examples:
Adding "%d" to a what text will get replaced with the amount of days since the email was last sent.
The value can be offset by suffixing +(number) or -(number).
Examples:
Adding "%f[X]" to a what text will format the current datetime, with X being used as the php date format.
Examples, the formatted result is contained in (parentheses).
