Send email based on end-date/time of "Datetime"

I’d like to notify registrants of the impending END time of the “Datetime” of their event.

I’ve found scheduling by “days prior” to a datetime, and it won’t take anything for an integer…. (not negative and not a decimal).

Any ideas/ways of using WP-Cron to do this?

Hi there,

There’s no snippet we can give you that can show you how to do this as you’d basically need to build out another message type for the AUEN add-on (which is what you the ‘days prior’ option you are referring to is from) that was intended for POST event notifications.

However, I’ve previously added ‘Post’ event notifications to the add-on and can send you a copy of the branch with this functionality if you’d like to test it?

Probably getting too complex for my skills. Thanks though.

No problem.

Just to note the above is simply a case of replacing the AUEN add-on that you have installed on the site with another ‘dev’ version which has an additional feature built-in, it’s actually much less than building something custom using WP-Cron.
