Marie Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 If I wanted to automatically send an email to one of my subscribers to let them know that their subscription had expired or was about to expire, would that be part of the IPN code? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I don't think so (unless PayPal sends such notices to IPN endpoints; I don't think they do, but I could be wrong). I'd have an automated system (like a cron) check your database on a daily basis and send out emails accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 Okay thanks. I don't know what a cron is exactly but my question was answered. In other words I do not set up a script for this within the current structure of the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Sorry, no, you *would* create a script within the structure of the site that looked for forthcoming expiring subscriptions. You'd then create a cron--a service that does a task on a set schedule--to invoke that script every day. If you're using PayPal, however, you should first see if PayPal doesn't do this automatically for you (I don't think they do, but it's worth checking).
