Nothing is contacted until you configure the matching feature — no data is sent anywhere by default. * **OpenAI API** (https://api.openai.com) — used only when OpenAI is the selected AI provider and you run an AI action (generate campaign copy, subject lines, sequence steps, or template suggestions). The prompt you supply, the campaign topic/tone, the text extracted from any knowledge files you attach, and your API key are sent with each request. Requires your own API key; no request is made without one. Terms: https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use Privacy: https:// openai.com/policies/privacy-policy * **Google Gemini API** (https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs) — used only when Gemini is the selected AI provider, for the same actions and with the same data as above. Requests go to generativelanguage.googleapis.com. Requires your own API key. Terms: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms Privacy: https://policies. google.com/privacy * **ip-api.com** (https://ip-api.com) — optional country lookup for the campaign location report. **Disabled by default.** When enabled, the IP address of a reader who opens a tracked email is sent to ip-api.com and only the returned two-letter country code is stored. Enable it with: add_filter( ‘amcm_enable_ip_geolocation’,‘ __return_true’ ); Terms and Privacy: https://ip-api.com/docs/legal * **Your own email-verification server** — optional. If you enter the URL and API key of a self-hosted verification server in the Email Validator settings, the email addresses being validated are sent to that server instead of being probed over SMTP from your site. No server address is preconfigured, so this is inactive unless you set one. * **Freemius webhooks** (https://freemius.com) — optional, inbound only. If you paste a webhook URL generated by this plugin into your Freemius dashboard, Freemius posts customer opt-in events to your site so marketing-opted-in buyers can be added as subscribers. The plugin never sends data to Freemius. Terms: https:// freemius.com/terms/ Privacy: https://freemius.com/privacy/ ### Source code and build process The admin interface is written in TypeScript/React and compiled with `@wordpress/ scripts` (webpack).

Upload the `antimanual-campaign` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install the zip via **Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin** in WordPress. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen in WordPress. 3. Navigate to **Antimanual Campaign** in your WordPress admin sidebar. 4. Go to **Settings** and configure your sender name, email address, and optional AI provider (OpenAI or Google Gemini). 5. Create your first subscriber list or subscription form and start sending campaigns! ## FAQ ### Do I need a third-party email marketing service like Mailchimp? No. Antimanual Campaign is a complete, standalone email marketing platform built right into WordPress. Subscriber management, campaign creation, automated sequences, sending, and reporting are all handled natively on your site. ### Is there any limit on how many subscribers or emails I can send? No. Unlike hosted email marketing services that charge based on list size or monthly email volume, Antimanual Campaign places zero artificial limits on your subscriber count or campaigns. Your only limit is what your web host or SMTP sending provider allows. ### How do I ensure high email deliverability? We recommend pairing Antimanual Campaign with an established SMTP plugin (such as WP Mail SMTP, FluentSMTP, or Post SMTP) connected to a reliable transactional email provider (like Amazon SES, SendGrid, Mailgun, Brevo, or Postmark). Additionally, using our built-in Email Validator to weed out invalid and disposable emails keeps bounce rates low and protects your sender reputation. ### Which AI providers and models are supported? Antimanual Campaign supports OpenAI (such as GPT-4o, GPT-4) and Google Gemini (such as Gemini 1.5 Pro, 2.0 Flash). You supply your own API key, and you only pay for what you use directly to the AI provider. ### How does knowledge-grounded AI writing work? You can upload or link reference documentation and knowledge files. When writing email copy or sequences, the plugin injects relevant excerpts into the AI prompt so the generated text accurately reflects your product details, branding guidelines, and tone. ### Are my API keys secure? Yes. All API keys are encrypted at rest using WordPress cryptographic keys and AES- 256 encryption. Decrypted keys are never sent to the browser or stored in plain text in the database. ### Can I embed signup forms on other pages or websites? Yes. Every form created with the visual Form Builder can be embedded on any WordPress page or post using the `[amcm_form id="..."]` shortcode. You can also generate an auto-resizing iframe embed code to place the form on external sites or landing pages. ### How does the built-in Email Validator work? The validator performs multi-level verification: syntax checking, domain MX record validation, and screening against an offline, locally bundled disposable/temporary email blacklist. You can also enable deep SMTP pinging or connect a self-hosted verification server. ### Can I share campaign analytics with clients without giving them admin access? Yes. In each campaign report, you can generate a secure, tokenized public report link. Anyone with this link can view the real-time open rates, click statistics, link click counts, and world map without needing a WordPress login. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Antimanual Campaign – AI powered email campaign and automation in WordPress” is open source software.
