Question about repeating campaign with dynamic content

boowee commented 7 years ago

Content in duplicate messages are not updated. For example: if I need send daily blog updates. I add BlogPosts component on page & create daily repeating campaing. First message will contain latest posts. On next day I create new post but content of second message will be same as first.

Just want to make sure, you have also created new blog posts on the second day?

boowee commented 7 years ago

Yes, I have new posts. Looks like a bug. I would like to ask about logic of repeating campaign. The message is created "today for tomorrow". For example. Each Sunday I need to send a weekly newsletter with posts in a week. The new message which will be send on next week, will be created at the time of sending the current message and the content of the new message will be created based on the current blog posts. But this is not what I need, because this is the message for the previous week. I hope you understood my problem. Thanks a lot.

Can you provide the template file contents you are using for this? So we can try to replicate it. Thanks
