Any way to send an automated email on a specific date?

Hi,
Can you provide a bit more detail? Are you trying to send a general email to everyone on your site on specific date? If so, you might be able to simply schedule a marketing campaign: Managing Your Scheduled Email Marketing Campaign | Help Center | Wix.com.
Or, if you’re trying to wait until a specific action triggers an automated email, and then you want to send it on a specific date, the options are a bit different. Are you using Wix Automations to try to send an automated email, or are you coding it with Velo?
I just checked the Wix Automations options from one of my site dashboards, and unfortunately it doesn’t look like you can set a specific date (only a delay after the specific trigger is met). You might be able to use Velo code to do this, though. Here’s the Wix Velo article on the emailMember( ) function: Email Member | Velo. You’d probably want to do something like use a conditional to check the date, then if it’s the specific date you want, you can then use the emailMember( ) function to trigger the email.
Hope this helps as a starting point, and best of luck!
Cheers,
Jess

Hi, andychan1998 !!
You can automatically send emails on specific dates using only Wix. There is a way to schedule backend programs in Velo as jobs, so you might want to refer to that. You can set up the function to execute at a specific time every day and include logic in the function to check if today is the specific date. If it is, the email can be sent automatically. Additionally, you can create a collection to store the email content and scheduled sending dates. This way, when the function runs at the scheduled time, it can automatically update the email content based on the date.
