Require New Content to Send

Control whether your automation sends only when new content is available or on every scheduled run.

When creating your automated campaign, a checkbox for Require new content to send can be found in the Schedule tab on the left sidebar within your selected campaign.

The Require New Content to Send setting determines whether Feedotter should generate an email only when new content is available.

You can turn this off by unchecking the box. Turning this off will cause your automated email to send on schedule, every time, regardless of content.

By default, this option is turned on, so FeedOtter will only send when new content is found.

Again, New content is determined by two things:

1. The published date in your RSS feed.

2. The last send date of your FeedOtter campaign.

For your campaign's initial send, all content will be considered new, and FeedOtter will default to sending the maximum number of posts set in your campaign.

Once your campaign has been sent, FeedOtter will check the published date in your RSS feed and only send when there is content with a published date more recent than the campaign's last send date. You can find the last send date on the campaign block.

If you uncheck the Publish Date Filter option in an automated campaign, the behavior described above does not apply. Previously sent content may reappear in emails, and older articles can be re-used regardless of when they were published. This setting is useful when you want to re-feature content.
