Description

MKE Simple Email Sequencer lets site owners create simple day-based email sequences directly inside WordPress. Add a signup form to any page with a shortcode, collect subscribers, send welcome emails, manage unsubscribes, and review send logs without adopting a large marketing automation platform.

This plugin sends email through the normal WordPress mail system. For reliable delivery, use an SMTP or transactional email delivery plugin.

Features

  • Create editable email sequences.
  • Add sequence steps by day offset.
  • Place single-sequence or multi-sequence signup forms anywhere with the [mkesiems_signup] shortcode.
  • Create individual signup pages or a public multi-sequence signup portal from the admin dashboard.
  • Set optional gold star and important/bold markers for each sequence in the public signup portal.
  • Collect first name and email address.
  • Honeypot and minimum-time anti-spam checks.
  • Optional double opt-in confirmation.
  • Automatic unsubscribe links.
  • Merge tags for name, email, site name, sequence name, and unsubscribe URL.
  • WP-Cron send queue every 15 minutes.
  • Subscriber management with pause, activate, unsubscribe, and delete.
  • CSV subscriber export.
  • Send logs and manual process-now button.
  • Test email tool and delivery warning.

Shortcode

Basic:

[mkesiems_signup sequence=”aas-welcome-series”]

With options:

[mkesiems_signup sequence=”aas-welcome-series” title=”Join the list” button_text=”Sign Up” show_name=”yes” context=”homepage”]

Multi-sequence signup page:

[mkesiems_signup mode=”list” legend=”Email Sequences” button_text=”Join Our Email List” show_name=”yes” context=”signup-portal”]

Attributes:
