How would you send an email 10 days from now in your app?
Below is a cleaned-up version of my response to Aditya Malani when he asked this question on x-bird app.
Drip Campaigns: Platforms like Userlist, ConvertKit, or Outseta offer capabilities to set up drip campaigns with delays you may trigger from your app.
Email Scheduling: Services like like SendGrid and Mailchimp Transactional let you schedule emails in the future.
Cron job: Set up a cron job (for Node, there is node-cron) to periodically check the time since the event and send an email through providers such as Resend when the elapsed time hits 10 days.
Queues: Last but not least, you may use a queue solution with delay capabilities like RabbitMQ or Inngest with SendGrid, Resend etc.
Any I missed? Any your favorite way?
All the best,
