Is there a way to generate and embed charts into the newsletter and automate? Eventually, would want to send recommendations based on user history (plays, likes, purchases, etc)

My first thought was that you should automate a screenshot of the charts and send that with some blurb to encourage the click.

It would be a start. But wouldn't take the user to the song that interested them.

I'm not sure what the Jamroom jrMailer will do but I'd guess that it will send whatever you tell it to.

Charts via email would be complicated (lots of up and down arrows) and might not look right in some email clients.

Email works best with pictures, "buttons" and text imo. See, read, click button.

Carefully prepared mailouts rather than automated. It's best not to automate everything. Automated email has a smell.

You'd want to build a custom module for this - the newsletter manager can work with templates (i.e. saved newsletters), but it's not smarty templates nor could you embed PHP in it.

Sorry!
