Campaign Manager
Send professional campaign messages to your subscribers.
This plugin allows you to create and design fully custom email campaigns and send them to end users. Campaigns can be sent to users who can sign up to mailing lists using a front-end component, or as part of a predefined collection of recipients, for example, all front-end users.
This table describes the moving parts found in this plugin:
| Object | Description |
|---|---|
| Campaign | A copy of the message sent to the subscriber. |
| Campaign Template | The HTML scaffolding template used by a Campaign. |
| Subscriber | An individual person, their email address and name. |
| Subscriber List | A mailing list that subscribers can opt-in to. |
| Recipient Group | Like a List but emails are generated by the system, for example All registered users. |
Launching a campaign
When you create a campaign for the first time, it will ask if you want to generate a default campaign template in the current theme. This will provide some sample content you can use to get started.
After naming your campaign, you are free to populate the message content as many times are you like. You can also preview the message by clicking the Send test message button.
Once you are ready to send the message click the Launch campaign button where you can select which subscribers should receive the campaign message. There are also several launch options available:
-
Delayed launch - If this is checked, a date picker will appear and you can select an exact date and time to send the message. This is good for perfectly timing your campaign.
-
Staggered launch - If this is checked, the campaign subscribers will be divided in to smaller groups depending on the selected time period. Each group will be contacted every hour until all subscribers have been sent the message.
-
Repeating campaign - This option is particularly useful if you are generating the message content dynamically, for example, a message that contains the latest blog posts on your site. If this is checked, the campaign will duplicate itself after it has launched and automatically apply the Delayed launch option to match the repeating frequency. This will continue perpetually until you manually cancel the most recent iteration.
Campaign status meanings
A campaign will have many statuses through its life time, they are described in detail below:
-
Draft - the campaign is still having content added and the design may be changing. This is the only status where content can be modified.
-
Pending - for campaigns that use a delayed launch time, it will stay in this status until the specified launch date has passed. Campaigns in this status are checked every hour.
-
Active - campaign is in progress, there are messages still queued to be sent to the subscribers. Some subscribers may have received the message. Staggered campaigns may stay in this status for some time.
-
Sent - the campaign is complete, all subscribers should have received the message. Information about the subscriber is recorded, such as whether they opened the email or whether they unsubscribed because of this email.
-
Deleted - the campaign has been cancelled while it was active or before it reached the launch date.
-
Archived - the campaign is now old and doesn't need to be seen any more. All recorded about subscriber activity has been deleted.
System requirements
This plugin relies on the system schedule process for running its automated tasks. You should ensure that your cron table is configured correctly for this plugin to work. Alternatively you can manually process the campaign logic by calling php artisan campaign:run and run it every hour.

this plugin is a beast ! all my clients love to use it directly form their backend instead of having to go somewhere else on another website with subscription fees.

It's one of the most awesome plugins with a ton of features of the martketplace! Even for sites having a small group of subscribers, it's worth it. Can't recommend this plugin enough.

Super powerful plugin that is well worth the price. It's even possible with a bit of custom work to automate mail campaigns based off of content added to your site!

I am excited to use this plugin. But it is the second thing that I have purchased from October and have not had a great purchase experience. Both times I have been unable to use a plugin because of a glitch. I would love to still use October though. So please help me solve this issue. I am assuming because the last change log being October 2018 there may be a glitch. But I am unable to create campaigns. It just keeps loading and loading and not working. Please help. Thanks

100$ is nothing for this plugin. It works perfect. Schedules your email campaigns sends them to your subscribers and shows you how many of them opened it or how many people unsubscribe you. It is so detailed project and it definitely worths.
