Email queue

Building the queue

To send a newsletter, add messages to the queue first.

• Go to Components → Sendex

• On the Email queue tab select the newsletter in the dropdown and generate messages.

• Then send the generated messages.

Sending

You can send in several ways:

1. Manually. Components → Sendex, Email queue tab. Select a message and send via the context menu.

2. Automatically via cron. Use core/components/sendex/cron/send.php in cron. Run frequency depends on subscriber count and hosting; the script sends up to 100 emails per run. Sent messages are removed from the queue.

3. Via API.

   $modx->addPackage('sendex', MODX_CORE_PATH . 'components/sendex/model/');
   
   $q = $modx->newQuery('sxQueue');
   $queue = $modx->getCollection('sxQueue');
   /** @var sxQueue $email */
   foreach ($queue as $email) {
     $email->send();
   }
