Sending a scheduled email

[jsgandalf]

Quick Question,

Problem: I have tried numerous times to set a start_time to be scheduled in advance. However the result happens over and over, the email is always delivered immediately. This is not the result I'd expect, whats wrong with my code? :/

I've read the following documentation which allows you to send scheduled Emails:

https://developers.sparkpost.com/api/transmissions.html#header-options-attributes

Today is 2017-02-03, I'm setting 8 days in advance: 2017-02-11T08:00:00-04:00

function email(toEmail, campaignId, templateId, startTime){
  var transmission = {
    campaign_id: campaignId,
    content: {
      template_id: templateId
    },
    recipients: [{address: toEmail}]
  }
  , options = {
    start_time: '2017-02-11T08:00:00-04:00',
    num_rcpt_errors: 3
  };
  return sparky.transmissions.send(transmission, options);
}

Ah. I see what the problem is. There is an options for the transmission object. The start_time goes in there.
Try this:

function email(toEmail, campaignId, templateId, startTime){
  var transmission = {
    campaign_id: campaignId,
    content: {
      template_id: templateId
    },
    recipients: [{address: toEmail}],
    options = {
      start_time: '2017-02-11T08:00:00-04:00'
    }
  }
  , options = {
    num_rcpt_errors: 3
  };
  return sparky.transmissions.send(transmission, options);
}
