Hi all,

I am looking to create automated emails for my work. I'm quite a novice coder and the only code format Mailchimp allows in email campaigns is HTML.

I want to create an automated email that goes out every week that asks our contributors to submit an artwork for the following week. I am wondering if there is a piece of date / time HTML that would allow me to say: "current date + 7 days" so I don't have to manually add the dates in for every email.

Hopefully that makes sense! Thanks in advance for your help,

Maddy

HTML cannot do that. HTML cannot generate or manipulate data, it is just a language which describes the structure of existing information.

I'm not familiar with MailChimp, but most mailing providers have a system to add variables into the template and they offer a lot of different options for the content of the variables. You should ask MailChimp support about it.
