Installation

Install from the plugin directory or via Composer:

composer require contensio/plugin-email-campaigns

Enable the plugin from the admin Plugins page. The CMS will run the migrations automatically.

Usage

1. Install and enable the Newsletter plugin if you haven't already.
2. Go to Tools -> Email Campaigns in the admin.
3. Create a campaign: subject, preheader, from name/email, content.
4. Optionally save as a template for later reuse.
5. Send a test to yourself.
6. Send to your list or schedule a future send.
7. Watch opens and clicks roll in on the campaign's stats page.

Scheduled sending

Campaigns with a scheduled_at date are dispatched by the artisan command:

php artisan contensio-email-campaigns:send-scheduled

Add this to your server's scheduler (e.g. Laravel's app/Console/Kernel.php):

$schedule->command('contensio-email-campaigns:send-scheduled')->everyMinute();
