1. How do reminders work?
Visitors choose one event or all current and future events in the network. Newsletter subscription remains separate.
Reminders are scheduled 1 hour, 30 minutes, 5 minutes before and at the start. New subscriptions receive upcoming reminders; past ones are not replayed.
One available board sends reminders. Another takes over if needed, normally within about three minutes.
Recipients in the board’s region receive a private local message; otherwise the board sends an IM. Web-generated replies use the avatar’s supported language, with English as fallback.
Second Life does not confirm IM receipt. A sending incident may cause a missed reminder; the system avoids blindly resending it.
2. How do I send a newsletter and track its statistics?
Add a saved notecard with copy and transfer permissions to the board contents using the normal object editing rights.
The licence holder and authorized managers have Send newsletter. Choose Send, a notecard, then Send now. Remove one deletes one notecard; Clear deletes all after confirmation, keeping configuration and scripts.
The board progressively sends batches of eight to newsletter subscribers present when the campaign starts. Opt-outs are checked before each batch. Clicks and reminders remain available during sending.
After a reset, Resume continues only pending offers on that board. Cancel send cancels further offers. Keep the same notecard throughout the campaign.
Statistics shows subscribers, campaigns, offered, pending and unconfirmed notecards. Details explain opt-outs and interruptions. Second Life does not confirm receipt: an unconfirmed offer is never automatically repeated.
