Dive deeper into Mailster’s powerful features and customization options in the Advanced section. Here, you’ll explore topics like custom hooks and filters, integrating with third-party plugins, performance optimization, and modifying core behaviors to suit complex workflows. Ideal for developers or experienced users, this category empowers you to tailor Mailster beyond the default settings.
To extend your WordPress site’s functionality, you can add custom code in two ways: the theme’s functions.php file, which is theme-specific, or by creating a dedicated plugin for use across multiple themes. Both methods offer similar performance, but plugins allow easier management.
Mailster allows you to create custom fields for subscriber information, such as a birthday field. By adding custom code, you can verify that subscribers are over 18, preventing those underage from signing up. The code checks the provided birthdate and displays an error message if the user is younger than 18.
Mailster simplifies subscriber segmentation with its Subscriber Query feature, allowing custom coding for tailored results. Users can query subscribers based on various parameters, including conditions, fields, and search terms, enabling precise targeting and management of subscriber lists efficiently.
Mailster Templates kickstart your campaigns by allowing customization. Choose a template, start a new campaign, and add desired modules. Save your customizations as a new template or overwrite an existing one. You can also adjust headers, footers, and notifications, enhancing your campaign’s uniqueness and functionality.
Customize your email campaigns using a rich text editor by adding buttons for formatting, font selection, and size. To enhance your editor, insert a snippet in your theme’s functions.php. Note that email appearance may vary with custom styles, and three toolbar areas are available for modifications.
Mailster lets you customize internal text snippets easily. You can adjust them in the Text tab or use the `mailster_text` filter for more flexibility. Key snippets include confirmation messages, success notifications, and error alerts. Just add a filter to change specific texts programmatically!
When starting with email marketing or changing providers, avoid sending too many emails at once. Use Mailster’s Warmup settings to gradually increase your email throughput. Set a timeframe for warming up your server, allowing Mailster to adjust send rates and batch sizes over time for optimal delivery.
If you’re using Visual Composer in WordPress and encountering shortcode issues with Mailster, you can remove them by adding custom snippets to your theme’s functions.php. This ensures that the content remains intact while filtering out undesired shortcodes. Adjust the snippets accordingly for custom post types or other page builders.
Mailster provides methods to retrieve the current subscriber information and their ID. It sets a cookie with the subscriber’s hash upon link clicks, expiring in 60 minutes. You can extend this expiration to three hours using a simple filter.
Mailster allows multiple autoresponders to automate campaigns, utilizing a default one-week “Grace Period” to prevent accidental sends. Users can easily adjust this period to one month or disable it entirely through simple filters, ensuring targeted communication with subscribers.
Mailster sends emails as multi-part MIME messages with headers that identify the sender and campaign. Key headers include version numbers, unique hashes for subscribers, and unsubscribe links, essential for compliance with email providers. Custom headers can also be added for personalization, enhancing user engagement.
Mailster allows you to automatically send your latest posts to subscribers while easily excluding specific articles. By adding a custom field called “mailster_ignore” to a post, Mailster will ignore it in dynamic tags and autoresponder campaigns, ensuring tailored content delivery.
Colors in the Mailster Editor are determined by the template’s HTML and only recognize 6-digit hex codes (e.g., #FFFFFF). Short hex codes are ignored. When merging colors, use slightly different shades to ensure Mailster can distinguish between them, preventing unintended uniformity.
Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) enhances WordPress by allowing users to add custom fields to edit screens, streamlining website development and client education. With Mailster integration, these custom fields can be utilized in email campaigns, enabling personalized content through simple tag formatting.
Gmail and Yahoo will enforce new sender authentication policies from February 1, 2024, targeting bulk senders—those emailing over 5,000 recipients daily. To combat spam, they require SPF, DKIM, and DMARC compliance, easy unsubscription options, and a spam complaint rate below 0.3%. Non-compliance may result in emails being marked as spam.
Mailster allows you to log outgoing emails in WordPress. Enable logging in the Newsletter settings, define entry limits, and access detailed logs of sent emails, including recipient information and campaign details. Ensure privacy by limiting logging duration and restricting access to authorized users only.
Modules are customizable sections in your newsletter templates, allowing you to drag and drop various blocks to design your emails. Create custom modules by modifying existing ones, saving them for future use. Easily delete any unwanted custom modules through the module selector.
Mailster Block Forms allows you to run custom JavaScript to track form submissions via Analytics. Access the “Events” section to define your code for five event types: Impression, Open, Close, Submit, and Error. Each event provides specific context and allows you to send data to Google Analytics or Plausible.
Mailster empowers WordPress users by providing customizable role-based access to manage campaigns, subscribers, and templates. With default roles like Administrator and Editor, you can define specific capabilities using plugins like “User Role Editor.” This ensures control over who can create, edit, or send campaigns efficiently.
With custom fields in Mailster, you can enhance subscriber info beyond the basics like email and name. Add details like gender, company, or social media handles. Easily create new fields on the settings page and use them in your campaigns with simple tags.
