Question

I’m using delayed job (https://github.com/collectiveidea/delayed_job) to send emails upon user signup. I want to delay the sending of the email for a day.

What’s the easiest way to do this? The documentation for sending email is below:

# without delayed_job
Notifier.signup(@user).deliver

# with delayed_job
Notifier.delay.signup(@user)

Where can I pass a parameter to allow me to delay the email for a set period of time?

Answer 1

Set the :run_at hash value on delay().

Notifier.delay(:run_at => 1.day.from_now).signup(@user)
