HotFix Avalible CORE+01232 Email marketer sends mail everyday

[SwiftModders]

Has anyone else noticed that after the WHMCS 7.10 update that the Email Market no longer functions as expected? I woke up to some upset clients who received the same emails (after a 24-hour period) that should only be sent once. Does anyone else have a similar issue?

Hi,

I setup an email marketer to send a mail after 5 days to a customer that has active products.
The only problem is... it sends the same mail every day...

What did i do wrong?

Anyone has an idea?

Seems to be other with this issue also: 

However, I've just discovered that the email template selection (last field on the Email Marketer form) is broken, no matter what I select, when I save and go back in, it resets to the first option.

Are you getting this issue too?

Yes, I'm having the same problem. I have a client who has received a New Account Information email from the Email Marketer 3 days in a row. The weird thing is I don't have an email with that title set up in the email marketer.

I'm having the same problem. There is another thread about this issue too.

This one may require a support ticket. Let us know if anyone finds a resolution or knows how to fix this.

Yes, I reported the issue to WHMCS and they have made a case for it to be fixed. The emailing everyday issue for me seems to stem from an older cron folder. I had to manually update it as it was misconfigured. Still the email marketer does not function the way it should.

This is probably related to what gbotica said above. Your template field is reset every time you edit it. So it's possible you edited the rule and the template selected something else.

Did they send you something to fix the issue?

No, they just informed they added a case for the issue.

If an update can cause issue like this, would be helpful WHMCS in future create a checkbox to disable all email marketer, so We can ensure we reduce risk during first days of using new version WHMCS before issues like this get discovered...Clients receives a lot of emails not wanted is no good. and it also could cause Microsoft flag our IP to less trust which can make our future emails to junk.

you can prevent the marketer from sending emails by skipping the EmailMarketer task in your cron job...

if Swift says there's a case number, there's still no knowing when the fix might be released - I had assumed there wouldn't be another maintenance update for a couple of months...

You can also just disable each email marketer rule individually, in the set up page for the Rule.

Unfortunately, that is what I've done. I just started using the email marketer, so I only have one rule so far, but it was the beginning of an effort to use the tool for a more robust campaign. I'll have to look at a different option.
