AguMail: Email Marketing Made Easy

Description

AguMail is email marketing made easy: newsletters, welcome emails that send themselves, and flows you can describe in a sentence. This plugin connects your WordPress site to your AguMail account, so the people who sign up on your site land on your list.

On any WordPress site

• Signup forms and popups. Add an AguMail form anywhere with the [agumail_form slug="..."] shortcode or the AguMail form block, or show one as a popup across the site: after a delay, after scrolling, or when the visitor moves to leave.
• The forms you already have. Elementor Pro, Contact Form 7 and WPForms can each send their signups to AguMail, with no key to paste into each form.
• Registrations. A marketing checkbox on the WordPress registration form adds the people who tick it to your list.
• Website tracking. The AguMail site script records the pages a recognized visitor reads, so a flow can follow up. It is off until you switch it on.

With WooCommerce

Everything above, plus:

• Abandoned carts with restore links. When a shopper types their email at checkout and leaves, their cart is kept against that email. AguMail’s cart reminders link back with a restore link that rebuilds the cart in any browser, on any device. It works on the classic checkout, the Cart and Checkout blocks, and CheckoutWC.
• Orders, products and customers, without slowing checkout. Orders reach AguMail once they are paid, products sync after each save, and customers are added with the answer they gave to the marketing checkbox.
• Revenue attribution. Campaign reports show the revenue each email brought in.
• Your store’s history. Sync store data brings in your customers, products and past orders. Past orders arrive as history and start no emails.

Syncing orders, carts and products is on AguMail’s Commerce plans and the free trial. On another plan your store still connects for forms, popups, form plugin signups, registrations and checkout subscribers.

Built not to slow your site

Nothing is sent while a visitor waits. Your site only notes what changed, and a background task (Action Scheduler) sends it about once a minute. If AguMail is slow or unreachable, your pages and checkout take exactly as long as they would without the plugin.

Your Elementor, Contact Form 7 and WPForms forms

Once the site is connected, each of these can send its signups to AguMail:

• Elementor Pro: add AguMail under Actions After Submit, in a page form or a popup.
• Contact Form 7: switch it on in the form’s AguMail tab.
• WPForms: switch it on under Settings > AguMail in the form builder.

Each form chooses its tags, whether signups confirm by email first, and which fields hold the email, name and phone (found for you when you leave them). A form with an optional checkbox for your emails sends only the visitors who tick it.

External services

This plugin connects your site to AguMail (https://agumail.com), an email marketing service. Nothing is sent to AguMail until you connect the site.

AguMail API (https://api.agumail.com). Once the site is connected, your server sends, in the background and never during a visitor’s visit:

• people who register on the site, or (on a store) become customers: email address, first and last name, their answer to the marketing checkbox and when they gave it, and when they became a customer;
• signups from your Elementor, Contact Form 7 and WPForms forms, once you switch a form on: email address, name and phone as the form collected them, the form’s name and tags, whether it asks for a confirmation email, the words of its consent checkbox, the page it was on, the visitor’s IP address and when they submitted.

On a WooCommerce store, also:

• orders: order number, email address, total, currency, line items (product id, SKU, name, quantity, price), the campaign that brought the shopper, and when the order was paid;
• products: id, name, price, currency, image and product links, categories, SKU and whether it is published;
• carts of shoppers whose email is known: items, total, the restore link and when the cart last changed.

It also checks the connection, the list of your published forms, which customers are subscribed and, on a store, whether your plan includes store sync, about once a day. Connecting sends your site’s address, and on a store its currency.

AguMail approval page (https://agumail.com/connect/woocommerce). On a WooCommerce store, opened in your browser when you press Connect to AguMail. It receives your store’s address, the address to return to, and a one-time challenge that proves the approval came back to this site.

AguMail site script (served from agupage.com, AguMail’s pages domain). Loaded in visitors’ browsers on your site’s pages only after you switch website tracking on (it is off by default). It sends page and product views of visitors AguMail recognizes to https://api.agumail.com, and for signed-in visitors their email address with a signature.

AguMail forms loader (https://api.agumail.com/embed/agumail-forms.js). Loaded in visitors’ browsers on pages that show an AguMail form or popup. The form itself comes from AguMail, and what a visitor types into it goes to AguMail.

Third-party libraries

On a site without WooCommerce, the plugin runs its background tasks on Action Scheduler 4.2.0 (https://actionscheduler.org, GPLv3 or later), bundled in vendor/woocommerce/action-scheduler. On a WooCommerce store, WooCommerce’s own copy is used.
