Transactional emails

Open neo22s opened this issue 4 years ago • 13 comments

Will be great to have like an API to send transactional emails, so they get in queue and then you can tack opens, cliks... also check a "contact" and see the log of emails sent to them etc..

This will make it super powerful IMHO

Happy to accept any PR's that add campaign API functionality.

Wouldn't this be better of separated from the campaign functionality? A transactional e-mail usually is an alert-like message intended to be received by a single (or a few) users. If I where to use Sendportal to send such message it would be something like:

  • I have a pre defined template (e.g. "Alert Template")
  • I create a message by defining some variables (e.g. {{title}}, {{body}} and {{link}})
  • The message content is being built from the template + vars and is queued for sending

Having a campaign seems like unnecessary overhead for these kind of messages since I wouldn't want them to mess up the campaign overview. A separated view with just the transactional messages seems better in my eyes.

@joshuadegier - we've already got automations / drip campaigns / transactional emails ready! It will be released in the future after we are finished making some adjustments in other areas.

The campaign API is also complete, and will be merged soon. https://github.com/mettle/sendportal-core/pull/40

Hi @JonoB that's exciting :) but I urgently need email drip campaigns / automation functionality. Is there a branch where that is currently available? I didnt find it in https://github.com/mettle/sendportal-core/pull/40/files thanks :)

@connecteev - I hear you! We're not ready to release automations yet. As mentioned, there are a few other structural changes we need to make to the core product first. We're making progress.

@JonoB thanks...no pressure but I need this yesterday! Really looking forward to this, please keep me posted when this goes live..thanks again for this useful repo!

@JonoB Glad to see where it's going. Wouldn't a roadmap help us understand what's cookin' so we don't all start threads and inquiries for nothing?

Problem 1 - laravel/horizon is locked to version v4.3.5 and an update of this package was not requested. - laravel/horizon v4.3.5 requires ext-pcntl * -> it is missing from your system. Install or enable PHP's pcntl extension.

To enable extensions, verify that they are enabled in your .ini files: - C:\xampp\php\php.ini You can also run php --ini inside terminal to see which files are used by PHP in CLI mode.

@JonoB any update on the automations / drip campaigns / transactional emails work? Realise you're busy otherwise, so understand that it might take a while!
