Hi,

When CBSubs Mailer sends a specific email (just before or just after doesn't matter), I need to have a specific CB field changed for the recipient of the email.

So, I'm setting up an Auto Action as follows:

Global
Triggers: onCPayAfterMailerMessageSent (or onCPayBeforeMailerEmailMessageSent)
User: Automatic
Access: Everybody
Conditions
1: [var1] Equal To [user_id]
2: [var2] Equal To 7 (this happens to be the mailer ID)
All other settings, like in the Parameters tab, are default.

However, it doesn't work with either trigger, the field change doesn't happen, and neither do other action types I tested with. Am I doing something wrong, e.g. with the conditions?

Just in case these triggers don't work as I'd expect from their naming:
The need is to fire an event such as the CB field change a certain time before a subscription expires, which happens to be when the respective Mailer is sent. I can't see any other way to do so without way more effort, or am I overlooking something?

Thanks for your help!

Thanks Kyle,

Tried what you were suggesting, but it still doesn't work, no field change.

So, now I'm having

Global
Triggers: onCPayAfterMailerMessageSent (or onCPayBeforeMailerEmailMessageSent)
Type: Field
User: Manually
User Variable: Variable 1
Access: Everybody
Conditions
[var2] Equal To 7 (the mailer ID)
Action (same as before my previous post)
Field: cb_xyz
Operator: Set (Field = Value)
Value: 0 (it's 1 now)
Translate Value: No
All other settings, like in the Parameters tab, are still default.

But still no joy.

Just so we're absolutely clear:
Yes, the mailer is run from CRON only, and that's working fine.
Yes, I need the field changed for the user the email was or will be sent to.

Thanks for taking another look at this!

Thanks for the very prompt reply!

I had seen the trigger code, that's why initially I was already using [var2] with the mailer ID. And haha, of course I'm using the mailer ID, not the # number. Yup, the same as in the "id" column in #_cbsubs_mailer_automessages.

Try removing the condition and retry.

No way! Then it'll fire on each and every mailer (if it really fires), and that's a no-no... I have several mailers, but it must fire only before or after one of them: the one with ID 7.

Now what?
