By default, eNotifications are automatically sent to the chosen categories for items where "Include in eNotification" is checked (see
screenshot -- this would send to "Get Involved" News subscribers).
For most items (News, Jobs, RFP), if the proper checkboxes are checked *any time up to 6 days after* the Publish Date of the item, the eNotification will automatically send out.
For Events it is reversed -- when it is *6 or fewer days before* the Event Start Date/Time, the eNotification will automatically send.
Additional Notes:
* Want to send a notice manually, or even re-send an edited version later? That's fine. You can disable automatic sending after creating an item by immediately going to Site Content >> eNotifications >> Scheduled Items (if within the 6 days; "Unscheduled Items" if outside 6 days), finding the item, and clicking "Schedule" to choose "Send Later."
* Our system checks for eNotifications to send every half hour, so new messages may not send for up to 30 minutes.
* There are some circumstances where an eNotification will not automatically send:
--- The dates must be "current" for automatic sending. For News, Job Posts, RFP Posts, the start/post date cannot be more than 6 days old from the current date and time. Events must have a start date within the next 6 days.
--- If you only check the eNotification box but do not select any categories, the eNotification has nowhere to go and will not be sent.
--- If you select categories with 0 subscribers, it will not send the email because there is no one to send it to.
--- If the item is not yet published, is expired, or is assigned to a member group, it will not be sent out.
