Overview
This add-on extends ShopMagic’s automation editor with per-action delay settings. That means one automation can contain several actions scheduled at different intervals—for example, a sequence of reminders—rather than applying one delay to the entire workflow.
Delay an automation action by minutes, hours, days, or weeks.
Run an action on a fixed date and time.
Schedule actions for a selected time of day, with execution limited by the configured schedule.
Use date-related ShopMagic placeholders to calculate when an action should run.
Use order, membership, subscription, or booking date placeholders for delay calculations when those data types are available to the automation.
Restrict execution to selected active days, allowing actions to be moved to the next permitted day.
Configure delays independently for individual actions within the same automation.
Use custom order, product, or subscription metadata as a date source when it returns a value that PHP can parse as a date.
