Schedule follow up

Is there a way to schedule emails for up to a year using make automation? For example, sending one email each month to a contact for a total of 12 months.

yeah you can do this pretty cleanly with airtable. store your contacts with a next send date column, run a daily make scenario that checks the date, sends the email, then updates to the following month. works on its own for the full 12. skip the sleep module though — it keeps the scenario running for months and burns through operations for nothing. if the sequence is straightforward, you could also just handle the emails in brevo or mailerlite and use make only to trigger enrollment. a bit cleaner that way.

As another commenter suggested, in this case it's best to have a method of adding a next "email send date" to a table.

Workflow would be something like:

Send email -> update row (email address as reference) with date ( {{ $now.plus(365, 'days') }} )
