About Pexally Email Campaigns

From the official readme · v2.0.1

Description

Pexally Email Campaigns is a high-performance email marketing, newsletter, and bulk outreach automation platform built directly into your WordPress dashboard.

Whether you are sending a weekly newsletter to 10,000 subscribers, running a B2B outreach campaign, or leveraging mail merge for highly personalized broadcasts, Pexally guarantees high deliverability while protecting your WordPress server from crashing.

Stop paying expensive monthly fees for platforms like Mailchimp, Constant Contact, or ActiveCampaign. By connecting your own SMTP provider (Google Workspace, Amazon SES, SendGrid, Mailgun, etc.), Pexally lets you send thousands of emails for free or pennies on the dollar—all without leaving WordPress.

🚀 Why Choose Pexally?

  • No More Server Crashes: Unlike standard WordPress mail plugins that freeze your website when sending bulk emails, Pexally uses a proprietary Cloud SaaS Queuing Engine. Your massive campaigns are offloaded to our background servers, keeping your website lightning fast.
  • Bypass Shared Hosting Limits: Does your host restrict you to 100 emails an hour? Pexally bypasses your host’s restrictions entirely, securely transmitting your payloads directly to your chosen professional SMTP provider.
  • 100% Primary Inbox Deliverability: We utilize strict human-pacing (5-second gaps between emails), deep message-ID spoofing, and strict RFC-compliance to bypass Google Workspace and Outlook spam filters.

🔥 Core Features

  • Mail Merge Personalization: Use dynamic tags like {{first_name}}, {{last_name}}, and {{email}} in your subject lines and email body to execute highly personalized campaigns that convert.
  • Native SMTP Integration: Connect seamlessly to Google Workspace (Gmail), Amazon SES, SendGrid, Mailgun, or any Custom SMTP provider using our simple setup wizard.
  • Interactive Analytics Dashboard: Monitor your campaign’s success in real-time with beautiful Chart.js graphs tracking Delivered, Opened, and Click-to-Open rates.
  • High-Performance Contact Importer: Easily import thousands of subscribers using our browser-based CSV Chunking Engine. No server timeouts, no PHP memory limits.
  • Premium Template Library: Choose from professionally designed, mobile-responsive HTML layouts (Newsletters, E-Commerce, Announcements, Webinars) that automatically wrap around your brand logo and footer.
  • Automated Bounces & Retries: Isolate emails that failed to send due to API connection issues and retry them with a single click.

🛡️ Secure SaaS Architecture (Serviceware)

This plugin operates as a client for the Pexally Email Marketing Service (SaaS). To process queues, enforce daily sending limits, and prevent your local WordPress server from crashing during bulk mailing, the plugin securely transmits campaign data to our central API at payment.pexally.com.

  • Data Sent: Campaign subject, HTML/Text body, recipient email addresses, and your configured SMTP credentials.
  • Our central servers securely connect to your chosen SMTP provider to dispatch the emails in the background.
  • Pexally Terms of Service
  • Pexally Privacy Policy

Additionally, your emails are routed through the third-party SMTP providers you configure:
* Amazon SES Terms/Privacy: https://aws.amazon.com/service-terms/ | https://aws.amazon.com/privacy/
* Google Terms/Privacy: https://policies.google.com/terms | https://policies.google.com/privacy
* SendGrid Terms/Privacy: https://www.twilio.com/en-us/legal/tos | https://www.twilio.com/en-us/legal/privacy

Installation

  1. Upload the pexally-email-campaigns directory to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
  3. Navigate to Pexally Email -> Settings in your WordPress admin menu.
  4. Fill in your Sender Details and configure your SMTP connection (Google Workspace, SendGrid, Amazon SES, etc.).
  5. Go to Audience to upload your first CSV of subscribers.
  6. Create your first campaign and start tracking!

Frequently asked questions

Does this plugin work on shared hosting?

Yes! Because we utilize a SaaS API architecture, your heavy email campaigns are queued and processed on our central cloud servers. This completely bypasses PHP memory limits and max_execution_time errors on shared hosts.

How many emails can I send per day?

Our Free Tier allows you to process up to 50 emails per day through our queuing engine. By upgrading to a Pro License, you can increase your queue limits to 450/day (Standard Gmail), 1,800/day (Google Workspace), or Unlimited (Amazon SES / SendGrid / Custom SMTP).

Why do I need an “App Password” for Google Workspace?

Google prohibits third-party applications from logging in with your standard account password. You must generate a secure, 16-character “App Password” from your Google Account Security settings to connect.

Can I personalize my newsletters with Mail Merge?

Absolutely! When drafting your campaign, simply use the {{first_name}}, {{last_name}}, or {{email}} tags in the subject line or email body. Our engine will dynamically swap them out for each recipient.
