About Findira Newsletter
From the official readme · v1.4.3Description
Findira Newsletter is a self-hosted newsletter plugin with a modern WordPress admin interface. Your subscriber data and campaigns remain in your WordPress database, while email delivery uses the SMTP server or Mailgun account you configure.

- CSV subscriber import and export
- SMTP and Mailgun delivery
- Optional open and click analytics (disabled by default)
- Unlimited opt-in forms, display rules, shortcode, and block

Development
The human-readable JavaScript and stylesheet source is included under assets/src.
To reproduce the compiled files in assets/build, run npm install followed by
npm run build from the plugin directory. The build uses @wordpress/scripts
with the included package.json, lockfile, and webpack.config.js.
External services
Mailgun is an optional third-party email delivery service. The plugin connects to Mailgun only when a site administrator selects Mailgun as the mail driver and supplies Mailgun credentials. For each outgoing message, the plugin sends the recipient email address, sender address and name, subject, message content, and email headers to the configured Mailgun US or EU API endpoint. Mailgun may also send signed bounce and spam-complaint webhook events back to the site; these events include delivery-event details and the affected recipient address and are used to mark that subscriber as unsubscribed.
Mailgun is provided by Sinch Email. Terms of Service: https://www.mailgun.com/legal/terms/ — Privacy Policy: https://www.mailgun.com/legal/privacy-policy/

- Go to Newsletter > Settings and configure your sender and mailer.

[findira_newsletter_form]shortcode to a page. - Create a list and campaign.
Frequently asked questions
Where is subscriber data stored?
Subscriber, list, form, campaign, and analytics data is stored in your WordPress database.
Does it work with any SMTP provider?
Yes. Configure the host, port, encryption, username, and password under Newsletter > Settings > Mailer.
Is Mailgun supported?
Yes. Select Mailgun as the mailer and enter your API key, sending domain, and region.
Is there a subscriber or campaign limit in the free plugin?
No artificial recipient or campaign limit is imposed by Findira Newsletter. Your hosting and mail provider limits still apply.
What does the Pro add-on provide?
Pro is a separate plugin that adds reusable templates, dynamic segments, automations, advanced targeting, and additional workflow tools.
How are opens and clicks tracked?
Engagement tracking is disabled by default. A site administrator must explicitly enable it under Newsletter > Settings after obtaining any consent required for the audience. When enabled, campaign emails include a small remote image for open tracking and redirect links for click tracking. The related campaign, subscriber, event time, and clicked destination URL are stored in your WordPress database. Open counts may be incomplete when email clients block remote images. Findira Newsletter also provides suggested text under WordPress Settings > Privacy for disclosure in your privacy policy.
