Key differences from the sequenced newsletter module

The sequenced newsletter module is designed to send messages at a set interval. All users get the same message at the same time. The Simplenews autoresponder module allows users to get their emails at different times, based on whenever they subscribed to your list.

Instructions

This module runs whenever cron runs. So please make sure that cron runs at least once each day.

1. Create a Simplenews newsletter if you haven't done so already
2. Go to Site Configuration -> Simplenews Autoresponder
3. Create a new autoresponder and select your newsletter from the drop-down list
4. Give your autoresponder a name
5. You may optionally add existing subscribers to your autoresponder campaign. This option is checked by default but can be safely unchecked.
6. Create nodes for your newsletter. In the edit form for each node, specify the "autoresponder offset" for the message. This is the number of days until the user will receive this message after they initially subscribe to your list.

That's it! Cron will do the rest for you.
