Frequency » Send Interval
Immediately After Subscription Occurs - Check this option to send an email out immediately after a subscription occurs. This isn't triggered by the autoresponder cron job, instead the
system looks for this option being enabled immediately after a subscription occurs and sends the message.
X Days X Hours X Mins - After Subscription Occurs - Sends out the message from the specified time. For example, if you specify 7 days, the message is sent 7 days after the subscription has occurred. Note that the send time is actually governed by the time you have your cron job running. The message is actually queued to be sent the next time the cron runs. So, for example, if you set a time of 10mins and your cron is running hourly, the message will actually be sent at the top of the next hour.
X Days X Hours X Mins - After Subscription Occurs - Sends out the message from the specified time. For example, if you specify 7 days, the message is sent 7 days after the subscription has occurred. Note that the send time is actually governed by the time you have your cron job running. The message is actually queued to be sent the next time the cron runs. So, for example, if you set a time of 10mins and your cron is running hourly, the message will actually be sent at the top of the next hour.
Frequency » Repeat Options
No Repeat - If this option is set, message is sent once only.
Repeat On XX/XX/XXXX - If this option is sent, message is resent on specific day. If date has elapsed, it will be ignored.
Repeat Every X Days X Months X Years - If this option is set, message repeats via the duration set. For example if you set 7 days, message will repeat every 7 days from the duration of the initial send interval. You can set the maximum number of repeats if applicable and/or set the stop date. Note that if you set the stop date and the date has elapsed, it will be ignored and continue to send indefinitely.

Click the icon to send a test message to make sure your smtp settings are working correctly. You can enter multiple addresses separated

%browser_view% Tag
If used the %browser_view% tag creates a link in emails where subscribers can view the HTML version of the message in their browser. This tag is removed when the person views
the message in the browser as it is not needed anymore.
The HTML version is wrapped in a new wrapper located at:
content/browser-view-wrapper.php
You may edit this if you wish. Note that if your message contains <body> tags, the only part of the message that loads in the browser view is what is between these tags, other data is ignored. Finally, this tag should only be included in the messages.
