Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
Sheffielder Posted April 17, 2020 Posted April 17, 2020 My digest emails are going out approx 10pm at night which isn't ideal Is there anywhere I can change the time they go out?

bfarber Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 The task runs every 5 minutes and sends however many pending digest emails it can, resuming where it left off on the next run. There is no way to control when the emails are sent - it depends on so many factors it would be hard to even approximate it.
Sheffielder Posted April 20, 2020 Author Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) Mine keep coming after 10pm which is pretty pointless. Shame the time of the start of the email run can't be specified Edited April 20, 2020 by Sheffielder
bfarber Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 Why is an email at 10PM pointless? Do you not see the email the next day? Lots of services send digest/marketing emails in the middle of the night.
Sheffielder Posted April 21, 2020 Author Posted April 21, 2020 When I get up in a morning I'm faced with a list of emails that have dropped in overnight. I'll flick through them but won't invest any more time in them than I have to as I start my day. If I was sat (for example) in the morning and at 10am an email dropped in from a forum I was a member of I'd invest significantly more time and interest in clicking into it, having a nosey round the forum and links I'd been sent. I'd definitely not be doing that at 10:30pm at night when my email drops in. I see it drop in then, click it, read it, and forget about it and it's then in my 'read' emails so isn't fresh the next morning anyway. The ability to send out digest emails for yesterdays activity at 10am for example would be amazing for me and I would be it would be far far more valuable with regards to getting click throughs onto my forums.
