    Hello!

    This topic is just a couple of questions before start using your plugin.
    1. I read that email notification are sent as post published or as digest. But how exactly this happens?
    I mean this: if we need to send 10.000 emails. Will they be sent all 10k one after another or by portions?

    2. I use plugin “post to post” http://wordpress.org/plugins/posts-to-posts/ So I need to have possibility to subscribe not to all posts but to posts which somehow related to some other post. For example, there are blog post and there are reviews (as custom post). Each review is related to some blog post. If visitor subscribes to some blog post. He will receive an email each time a new review related to this blog post is posted.
    I know it’s impossible out-of-the-box. But may be can it be achieved somehow through some filters/actions? Of course if your plugin provide any filters/actions.

    Thanks in advance for your support!

  • Hi ZehrGut,

    Answering your questions:

    1. MailPoet send emails in batches according to the sending frequency you choose inside the plugin settings. For an example: 100 emails each 5 minutes. Until it completely sends all the newsletters to your list of subscribers.

    2. You’ll have to somehow subscribe to a post, like in JetPack that you can subscribe to post comments. Unfortunately I don’t think that’s possible, even with filters. I’m sorry!

    Let us know if you have any further questions.

    Best regards,

    Thanks a lot for your reply!

    Yes, you are right! Ideally it should be something like “subscribe to post comments”. In this case I could call sending messages in wp_insert_post action-hook when a new review posted. I understand that this is impossible in your plugin.

    Let me be a bit more specific one more time before finally “resolve” this topic.
    Other possibility is when a user subscribes I should have possibility to save somewhere post_id (where the users filled a form) related to user’s email (something like subscription meta-data). But then I should have possibility to filter email sending upon a new review posted. Because emails should be sent not to the whole list of subscribers.
    Is there any possibility of this? I know it require a lot of programming. But I’m not afraid of this.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi ZehrGut,

    I’m sorry, but I don’t think MailPoet is the best solution to hack to achieve the results you are looking for.
