Need Help To Setup Cronjob For Autoresponder

[greenworld]

Hello;

I am trying to underestand the relation between cron job and autoresponder, that how these two work

together, I have no ieda how to start.

I have already looked at couple of tutorial on using cronjob in cpanel, I underestand that cron job is for scheduling something, but autoresponder has its own scheduling and totally in a different way, I am totally lost,

Here is what I want to do,

 

1- visitor come to my site sign up to my newsletter using the form on my site

2- after confirmation they are now part of my mailing list ( this part working now)

3- now the person gets the first newsletter,

4- 3 days later the second newsletter goes to him/her.

5- 2 days later the third one goes, and so on.. until all newsletters gone ( 14 newsletter)

 

I need help to underestand the relation of crob job and autoresponder here and how to set it up, because the newsletter does not delivered now.

 

thank you

Hello,

 

You would need to check with support to see if you would be allowed to run an autoreponder. Many "autoresponders" can lead to the domain/server being blacklisted.
