## Description

Sky Campaigns is an email marketing and subscription campaign manager built for 
WordPress. It helps site owners collect subscribers with customizable popup forms,
organize subscribers by campaign, send newsletter broadcasts, and create simple 
autoresponder sequences without sending subscriber data to a third-party service.

The plugin adds a **Campaigns** menu to the WordPress admin area. From there you
can create popup campaigns, review subscriber activity, export your list, configure
autoresponder messages, write newsletter broadcasts, and update sender details for
confirmation emails.

Sky Campaigns is designed for site owners who want a lightweight list-building tool
inside WordPress. It uses WordPress database tables for campaign and subscriber 
records, WordPress cron for queued autoresponder processing, and WordPress mail 
functions for outgoing email.

#### Campaign Management

Create and manage subscription campaigns from the WordPress dashboard. Each campaign
can include:

 * Campaign name and description.
 * Active or inactive status.
 * Popup template selection.
 * Custom headline, sub-headline, and button text.
 * Optional name field.
 * Background and accent color controls.
 * Optional image URL for supported templates.
 * Display trigger settings.
 * Subscriber count tracking.

#### Popup Templates

Sky Campaigns includes six popup template styles:

 * Classic
 * Bold
 * Minimal
 * Dark Luxury
 * Gradient
 * Split Panel

Templates are rendered on the front end for active campaigns and use the campaign
settings you define in the admin area. Front-end assets are loaded conditionally
when active campaigns or embedded forms are present.

#### Display Triggers

Choose when a popup campaign appears:

 * Time delay in seconds.
 * Scroll depth percentage.
 * Exit intent.
 * Immediate display.

These trigger settings are stored per campaign, so different campaigns can use different
display behavior.

#### Subscriber Management

The Subscribers screen lets you:

 * View subscriber email addresses and names.
 * Filter subscribers by campaign.
 * Search subscribers by email or name.
 * See active and total subscriber counts.
 * Export subscribers to CSV.
 * Track subscription status and subscription date.

Subscribers are stored in your WordPress database using custom `skyca_` tables.

#### Auto Responders

Create automated follow-up emails for each campaign. Auto responders support:

 * Campaign-specific automation.
 * Email subject and HTML body content.
 * Delay settings in days and hours.
 * Send order.
 * Active or inactive status.
 * Queued delivery through WordPress cron.

When a new subscriber joins a campaign, active autoresponders for that campaign 
are queued for that subscriber.

#### Newsletters

The Newsletters screen lets you create broadcast emails for your subscribers. You
can:

 * Create draft newsletters.
 * Add an email subject and HTML body.
 * Send to all active subscribers.
 * Send to selected campaigns.
 * Save and send immediately.
 * Store scheduled date/time information.
 * View newsletter status, sent count, and sent date.

#### Email Settings

The Settings screen includes sender and confirmation email options:

 * From name.
 * From email.
 * Confirmation email subject.
 * Confirmation email body.

Confirmation emails and newsletter content can use merge tags to personalize messages.

#### Merge Tags

The following merge tags can be used in supported email subjects and bodies:

 * `{{first_name}}`
 * `{{last_name}}`
 * `{{email}}`
 * `{{blog_name}}`
 * `{{blog_url}}`
 * `{{date}}`

#### Shortcode

Use the shortcode below to embed an inline subscription form in posts, pages, widgets,
or compatible builder content:

    ```
    [skyca_form campaign_id="1"]
    ```

Replace `1` with the ID of the campaign you want the form to use. The shortcode 
renders the campaign’s subscription form when the campaign exists and is active.

#### Privacy and Data

Sky Campaigns stores subscriber data in your own WordPress database. Stored subscriber
data can include email address, first name, last name, campaign ID, subscription
status, subscription date, and unsubscribe date.

The plugin does not send subscriber records to an external email marketing platform
by itself. Outgoing messages are sent through WordPress using the mail configuration
available on your site. For reliable delivery, many sites use an SMTP or transactional
email plugin alongside WordPress.

You are responsible for using the plugin in a way that complies with privacy laws
and email marketing rules that apply to your site, audience, and location. Before
collecting subscribers, review your privacy policy, consent language, unsubscribe
process, and email sending practices.

#### Developer Notes

Sky Campaigns uses the `skyca_` prefix for plugin options, tables, AJAX actions,
hooks, and public shortcode naming. The main public shortcode is `skyca_form`.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `sky-campaigns` plugin folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory,
    or install the plugin ZIP from **Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin**.
 2. Activate **Sky Campaigns** from the **Plugins** screen in WordPress.
 3. Open **Campaigns** in the WordPress admin menu.
 4. Go to **Campaigns > Campaigns** and create your first campaign.
 5. Choose a popup template, customize the campaign copy and colors, and select a display
    trigger.
 6. Use the campaign popup automatically, or embed an inline form with `[skyca_form
    campaign_id="1"]`.
 7. Configure sender details and confirmation email content from **Campaigns > Settings**.

## FAQ

### What does Sky Campaigns do?

Sky Campaigns helps you collect subscribers, show subscription popups, manage campaign
lists, create autoresponder sequences, and send newsletter broadcasts from inside
WordPress.

### Where is the Campaigns menu?

After activation, the plugin adds a top-level **Campaigns** menu in the WordPress
admin sidebar with a campaign-style megaphone icon. The first submenu item is **
Dashboard**.

### Can I create more than one campaign?

Yes. You can create multiple campaigns, give each campaign its own popup template
and trigger settings, and track subscribers by campaign.

### Can I embed a form without using a popup?

Yes. Use `[skyca_form campaign_id="1"]` and replace `1` with your campaign ID. The
campaign must be active for the shortcode form to render.

### Does the plugin include popup templates?

Yes. Sky Campaigns includes Classic, Bold, Minimal, Dark Luxury, Gradient, and Split
Panel popup templates.

### Which popup triggers are available?

Campaigns can use time delay, scroll depth, exit intent, or immediate display triggers.

### Can I export subscribers?

or filter by campaign first.

the sender name, sender email, subject, and email body from the Settings screen.

### Can I send newsletters to a specific campaign?

### How are autoresponders sent?

Autoresponders are queued when a subscriber joins a campaign. The queue is processed
by WordPress cron using each autoresponder’s delay and order settings.

### Do I need an external email service?

No external email marketing service is required for the plugin to store subscribers
or prepare messages. Emails are sent through WordPress mail handling. For better
deliverability, you may want to use an SMTP or transactional email plugin.

### Where is subscriber data stored?

Subscriber data is stored in custom tables in your WordPress database. The plugin
uses the `skyca_` prefix for its custom data structures.

### Does the plugin track opens or clicks?

The plugin includes database structures that can support email events such as opens
and clicks, but behavior depends on how templates and related features use those
structures. Review your privacy policy before enabling or extending tracking behavior.

### Can subscribers unsubscribe?

Yes. The plugin includes unsubscribe handling for email links generated by plugin
email flows.

### Is Sky Campaigns compatible with page builders?

The shortcode can be used anywhere WordPress shortcodes are supported, including
many page builders, widgets, and content areas.
