Custom Field Datetime Default Value

[Filipe Silva]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a custom field to store the "Last Activity Date" from each subscriber.
The idea is to stop sending emails to subscribers that are "dead" - this is a best practice from the market to avoid spam traps (abandoned mailbox that are transformed into spam traps, for instance).

I want this field to be required but I don't know what should be on the default value.
I've tried the [DATETIME] tag but it is not translated to real date time value.

Is there any way to do this?



Many thanks,

@Filipe Silva - And when exactly would this field be updated ?
You can simply enter the date of today in the default value, then when sending a campaign, upon open, make it so that the field gets a newer value and so on.

Yes, that is the idea: when the subscriber Opens or Clicks (don't know if it's possible on click event) that field should be updated.

Regarding the default value, the idea was to allow this task (sync-lists-custom-fields) for instance, to work as expected.

Gotcha. Here's the thing, we don't parse tags in that area, BUT i have just implemented parsing the tags there now and it will be available in the upcoming release.
Example:

Definition:


Display in admin edit screen:


Display in subscription area:


And in list embed form:


Beside the [ DATETIME ] tag, i have added [ DATE ] , [ SUBSCRIBER_IP ] and [ SUBSCRIBER_USER_AGENT ]:


All these goodies in next release

Awesome, you are becoming a real-time coder, coding the moment the request is voiced! Can it get any better? Let's enjoy this thoroughly

I just had this discussion today with a client! Amazing, I even wanted to make a topic about it, but seems it got already improved

@Filipe Silva @twisted1919

Sorry for bumping the thread, but it was requested from me to also research how to segment people via Open rate, CTR, been subscriber X days. Any idea how to acheive all these things?

Thanks

@Napoolion - That's more complext and time consuming to implement right now, that's the reason why we didn't got into it :-s

@twisted1919
I figured. Maybe one day ?

As you know, i never say never, so we will have it at some point, i just need to catch up with lots of stuff for now, but i assume things will slow down and i'll have time for these
