Using Drupal rules to email users with a role but only once

We have been trying for a while to solve a Drupal Rules problem. The situation is;

On every cron run we would like to check for Users who have a certain Role. We will then send an email to those Users. But we only want this email to go once.

We are thinking therefore that we will create a new custom/hidden User field called 'email sent'. Then the rule will;

We think this is possible but we can't see how you can set up a rule to do this. Any help really appreciated

I think that you can resolve your problem via a custom module where create an action rule that set this fields. In situation like yours I follow this method. Search hook_rules_action_info().

Or if you use profile2 module you can see if there is a rule that can be set this value. I think that there is because Profile2 support Rules.
