30-Day Renewal Notice

This has been in the works for MANY months now. Personally, what I have been doing is create an auto-responder in MailChimp based on the registration date (since it does not REALLY use the EOT in MC) and send a notification 2 weeks prior to the EOT. In my case, it is to let them know that the automatic monthly payment will be starting soon (after they purchase a 3 months subscription).

It is not the best method, but a workaround for the time being.

IN MC, first of all, you will need the paid version (the auto-responder is not part of the free package).

If you have only one product/course, the time of registration can be the time the member is added to the list, which would be done automatically. If not, then you would have to create a merge tag and add the date manually.

Then, to create the auto-responder, you will just click on Auto-responder (instead of Campaign), type in your email, and in the scheduling settings, you can choose when you want it. In my case, the initial subscription is for 30 months, so I choose to send the email 80 days after the date in Course1. If the initial period was say, one year, you can choose to send after 235 days, and so on.

I have been waiting for that functionality in s2M for over 2 years now, so I am not sure how close they are to release something.

I think it will be hard to find since membership plugins are not usually configured to be email providers. So far, s2M has been the most comprehensive plugin, despite some missing functionalities. I had a programmer code plugins and hacks to add some of those functionalities, but not this one in particular… yet (he might work on it if there is enough demand, and users willing to pay for developing it).
