Hey, thanks for using prelaunchr!

Please be sure to refer to our documentation and the documentation of Ruby on Rails before posting issues. Additionally, include in any issue what you've already tried, so that we can have a better idea of how to improve the prelaunchr project.

You can find information on collecting emails in CSVs in the Teardown section of this repo's README.md.

You can find information on setting up Mailers in Ruby on Rails all over the internet, but the Action Mailer Basics section of the Ruby on Rails Guides should be a great place to start.

If any of our documentation is unclear, please feel free to support this project by opening a pull request with your changes! :smiley:

Thanks again for helping us improve prelaunchr!

well i've tried running both "heroku run rake prelaunchr:create_winner_csvs" and "rake prelaunchr:create_winner_csvs" nothing gets exported to the lib folder?

One again, please be sure to read the documentation for Heroku. Heroku's cedar stack has ephemeral file storage, you can read the documentation concerning that feature here: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/dynos#ephemeral-filesystem

If your data is on Heroku you will need to somehow download your production database and run this command locally (or connect a local instance to your production DB). While we are happy to answer your questions, a GitHub Issue is not the right forum for them to be presented. You may be better served on StackOverflow or similar sites asking about the toolbelts that Prelaunchr is built ontop of rather than asking about Prelaunchr itself.

Okay, so i successfully connected to my heroku database with pgadmin3, is there any way to run the command from there?
