Icegram Express Housekeeping Feature for Campaign Cleanup

Max

Automatically prune completed, sent, or failed campaign reports, queues, and user action logs older than one year in Icegram Express Max.

Over time, high-volume email campaigns generate hundreds of thousands of queue items and engagement records. The Housekeeping feature in Icegram Express Max automatically purges historical campaign delivery data older than one year, preventing database bloat and keeping WordPress queries fast.

What the Housekeeping Worker Removes

When enabled, the automated background worker cleans records whose delivery finished more than one year ago:

  • Delivery and Sending Queues: Purges all processed queue records (SENT and FAILED queue entries) older than one year.
  • Engagement Logs: Clears associated open, click, and user action logs linked to those historical deliveries.
  • Campaign Records: Deletes expired one-off Newsletter records. For recurring Post Notifications and Post Digests, the core campaign rule remains untouched, while historical delivery queues and action logs are pruned.

The cleanup runs automatically every week on Sundays at 12:00 AM UTC in the background.
