Services like MailChimp and MadMimi are becoming quite popular, and many customers really like them. Despite their possible cost, they do offer a couple of serious advantages, from the customer’s perspective:
they offer a built-in, advanced email editor, that allows them to compose very good-looking and well-designed emails
they offer various tracking tools, which help the customer fine-tune future campaigns
It is possible to integrate Kirby with Disqus for blog commenting, and Snipcart for online stores. Similarly, is there a service for email newsletters, that would be just as easy to integrate with Kirby?
I am hoping that there may be an online service that will allow us to embed their email editor, subscriber list and campaign-managing control panel into a Kirby site. Is there such a thing?
I shared an unfinished project with another user. It integrated with SendGrid awhile ago.
Sorry, I included the wrong link. I had sent a zip file with the whole site directory and instructions via private message. I’ll forward you the contents of said message as well.
I invited you to the conversation, since i couldnt locate the forward button on phone. Durr. If you cant see older messages let me know and i will try looking for forward on desktop browser.
Its so out of date i hesitate to just throw it out there into the world, and i dont have time to revisit it atm… but i will look into putting it up on github this weekend. This is the third request now so i guess its time. I just wish i had more bandwidth to finish it and update to 2.0
It shouldn’t be hard to transition to 2.0 since it’s very basic. I stripped it down the the bare essentials I think (but I did not actually test implementation into a new installation after doing so).
There’s the same basic instructions provided in the readme that I shared in my previous message, and I never had any follow up questions to the several people I’ve shared this with.
The concept is a modular e-mail compiler that takes nice organized CSS and inlines it at the point of deployment. It also supports headers/footers that append to seperate body/content files for easy template building (just build a new body message, no repeat code).
If someone wants to reorganize it into a proper 2.0 plugin structure or improve it in anyway, feel free to submit push requests to the repository above and I will take a look at them.
