Been hunting around for a solution for this bad boy, thought I'd check if anyone in here's got some ideas!

Basically we have these online 30 day nutrition programs. Part of the package is you receive a daily tip to your email. There are 4 types of packages, so I have each synced with a different mailchimp list when they sign up. As it stands now we have to set a scheduled date on each email - wondering if there is a way to have each email either send on the 1st day of every month, or to automatically recur the entire campaign every month.

Given there's 4 packages, at 30 emails a piece.. that's a LOT of monthly editing. I could be missing some other way of doing this as well, perhaps even outside of mailchimp so I'm open to any efficient suggestion at this point. The wishlist membership system integrates well with mailchimp, and it's what I'm familiar with, but am open to anything at this point!

Thanks!!

Setup autoresponders. There's lots of info in the knowledge base:
http://kb.mailchimp.com/

Use the support/contact links there if you need clarification on anything.

Hey thanks for the response. I had looked into that at first - but I'm looking for something that recurs on the 1st day of the month, regardless of when they sign up. It looks like you can only set dates that work with signup, or an event like birthday. I thought maybe there was a way to configure something that would take new list members, but only send the daily emails on the specific days of the month. 

I'll keep looking for a solution though!

Yeah, you can do that with Autoresponders. Since that has nothing to do with using the API, though, please see my previous response.
