## Popis

Postalion is a complete newsletter plugin that runs on your own site. People sign
up through a form, a block, a popup or a box in the forms you already use. You write
in a composer made for email. Postalion sends in the background, a batch at a time,
and keeps a record of every email. Your list stays in your WordPress database.

All of it is free: no limit on subscribers or sends, no account to create, no logo
in your emails and no requests to outside servers. Try it with the **Live Preview**
button above.

#### Why Postalion

 * **No limits.** Unlimited subscribers, lists and sends, in the free plugin.
 * **Your list stays yours.** Subscribers live in your own database; nothing is 
   sent to us or to anyone else.
 * **Mail that arrives.** SMTP built in, with a test button, or any mail plugin 
   you already use.
 * **Grows with you.** Lists, automatic emails, a digest of new posts, open and 
   click statistics and a public archive.
 * **Looked after.** Tested before every release and improved every few weeks; see
   the changelog.

#### Write

 * Newsletter composer with five email templates: Classic, Letter, Bulletin, Announcement
   and Card
 * Content blocks made for email: headline, button, two columns, image and text,
   note, divider, spacer, social links
 * Personalisation: subscriber name and email, site name and address
 * Preview for desktop and phone, and a test email to yourself
 * A web version of every newsletter („View in browser“) and a public archive of
   the ones you sent
 * The templates show your site logo, or the site name when there is no logo

#### Send

 * Background sending in batches: the first batch goes out at once, the rest through
   WP-Cron
 * Batch size and pause between batches are yours to set (default: 10 emails every
   5 seconds)
 * Send now, or schedule a date and time
 * Live progress, with stop and resume
 * An interrupted send continues where it stopped; nobody gets the same email twice

#### Mail server (optional)

Out of the box the emails go through the mail function of WordPress, so whatever
your host or your mail plugin set up keeps working. If nothing is set up, enter 
an SMTP server under Settings: your own, or a sending service such as Brevo, Amazon
SES, Mailgun, Postmark or SendGrid. A button tries the settings before you save 
them, the password is stored encrypted, and a switch can route all the mail of the
site through the same server. No second plugin needed.

#### Grow

 * Sign-up form as a block or a shortcode, with double opt-in
 * An optional sign-up popup: appears once per visit, stays away once closed
 * Sign-up checkboxes in forms you already have: registration, comments, the WooCommerce
   checkout, Contact Form 7, WPForms, Fluent Forms and Elementor Pro forms (beta)
 * Lists: group subscribers, let each form fill a list, send to the lists you pick
 * CSV import and export, into and out of lists
 * Import from MailPoet: people, lists and statuses come over in one go
 * The users of your site are subscribers too, and can opt out from their profile
 * Search, filters and bulk actions

#### Automatic emails (optional)

 * A welcome email to people who sign up, once they are confirmed
 * New post notification: a published post goes out as a newsletter, to everyone
   or to chosen lists
 * Digest of new posts: daily, weekly or monthly, at the hour you choose, only when
   there is something new

#### Statistics (optional, off by default)

 * Opens and clicks per newsletter, with the links that were clicked
 * Counted on your own site; nothing is sent anywhere else

#### Keep track

 * Email log: every email with its recipient, date and result, and a preview of 
   the email as that person received it
 * Activity log: sign-ups, confirmations, unsubscribes, imports and sends
 * System log for errors and warnings
 * Log entries are deleted automatically after a period you choose (90 days by default)

#### Respect

 * Unsubscribe link in every email, plus one-click unsubscribe for mail clients 
   that support it (List-Unsubscribe-Post)
 * No tracking pixels and no rewritten links unless you turn statistics on
 * Supports the WordPress tools for exporting and erasing personal data
 * No telemetry and no external requests

#### Shortcodes

 * `[postalion_form]` – sign-up form. Attributes: `title`, `description`, `button_text`,`
   show_name="false"`, `list="slug"`, `class`. In the block editor, use the „Postalion
   sign-up form“ block instead.
 * `[postalion_unsubscribe]` – unsubscribe form.
 * `[postalion_subscriber_count]` – number of people on your list.
 * `[postalion_archive]` – the newsletters you sent, each with its web version. 
   Attributes: `limit`, `lists="slug"`.

#### For developers

    ```
    postalion_subscribe( $email, $args ) subscribes an address from your own code, the way the form does. Filters and actions for add-ons: `postalion_templates`, `postalion_logo_url`, `postalion_newsletter_recipients`, `postalion_email_content`, `postalion_email_sent`, `postalion_subscriber_confirmed`, `postalion_subscriber_subscribed`, `postalion_notify_post`, `postalion_digest_include_post`, `postalion_digest_content`, `postalion_post_newsletter_content`, `postalion_show_popup`, `postalion_admin_menu`.
    ```

#### Pro

A Pro add-on is being built for larger lists and more advanced work: a drag-and-
drop builder, email sequences, segments by behaviour, A/B testing and WooCommerce
automations. The free plugin is complete on its own and has no limits to remove.

 *   Postalion sign-up form A newsletter sign-up form. Visitors who subscribe join
   the list you choose.

## Instalace

 1. Install Postalion from the Plugins screen, or upload the `postalion` folder to `/
    wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate it.
 3. The Postalion dashboard opens. Its first step sends you a test email; check the
    sender name and address under **Postalion  Settings**.
 4. Add the Postalion sign-up block (or `[postalion_form]`) to a page so visitors can
    sign up, or import your list under **Postalion  Subscribers** or from MailPoet.
 5. Write your first newsletter under **Postalion  Newsletters**.

For reliable delivery, enter an SMTP server or a sending service under **Postalion
Settings  Sending method** and press „Send test“. If you already use a mail plugin(
WP Mail SMTP, FluentSMTP, Post SMTP), keep it: Postalion goes through it automatically.

## Nejčastější dotazy

### How are the emails sent?

Through the standard `wp_mail()` function, or through an SMTP server you enter under
Settings  Sending method. On most hosts the mail function works for a small list;
for reliable delivery use a sending service such as Brevo, Amazon SES, Mailgun or
Postmark, since the mail servers of shared hosting are often blocklisted. A mail
plugin you already have keeps working: Postalion goes through it.

### How many emails can I send?

As many as your host or mail service allows. Postalion does not count. Set the batch
size and the pause between batches under **Postalion  Settings** to stay inside 
their limits.

### Do I need a cron job?

No. Sending runs on WP-Cron, which WordPress triggers when someone visits the site.
On a site with very little traffic, a real cron job for `wp-cron.php` keeps batches
and scheduled newsletters on time.

### What happens when someone clicks the unsubscribe link?

They see a short page asking them to confirm, and one click on the button unsubscribes
them. The link itself does not unsubscribe, so mail scanners that open links cannot
remove people by accident. Mail clients with a built-in unsubscribe button unsubscribe
at once.

### Does it help with GDPR?

It gives you the tools: double opt-in (on by default), an unsubscribe link in every
email, support for the WordPress personal data export and erase requests, and automatic
deletion of old log entries. Statistics are off by default; when you turn them on,
opens and clicks are counted on your own site and the privacy policy guide tells
you what to mention. No data leaves your site except the emails you send. What you
send, and to whom, remains your responsibility.

### Can I import my existing subscribers?

Yes. From a CSV file, under **Postalion  Subscribers  Import CSV**: the file needs
an email column; first name and last name are optional. Addresses already on the
list are skipped, and people who unsubscribed stay unsubscribed.

Coming from MailPoet? If it is installed on the same site, **Postalion  Settings
Import from MailPoet** brings its subscribers over with their names, lists, statuses
and sign-up dates, in one go. Nothing in MailPoet is changed, so you can compare
the two before removing it. Only import people who agreed to receive email from 
you.

### Can I change the look of the sign-up form?

The form takes the font of your theme. Three CSS custom properties change the rest:`--
postalion-accent`, `--postalion-accent-text` and `--postalion-radius`, set on `.
postalion-subscription-form`.

### Can I add my own email template?

Yes, with the `postalion_templates` filter: register a name, a description and the
path to an HTML file that contains `{content}`.

### Is it translation ready?

Yes. Every text in the plugin, including the footer of the emails, can be translated.

### Can I have more than one list?

Yes. Create lists under **Postalion  Lists**. Each sign-up form, block or checkbox
can fill a particular list, and when you write a newsletter you choose everyone,
some lists or only the users of the site. Unsubscribing always covers every list.

### Where is the data stored, and how do I remove it?

In nine tables in your WordPress database. Deleting the plugin keeps the data unless
you turn on **Delete all data when the plugin is deleted** under Settings.

Postalion is an absolute gem. What I love most about it is that it keeps everything
inside your own WordPress database—no external third-party servers, no forced tracking
pixels, and no hidden limitations. The background batch-sending works smoothly, 
the UI is modern and fits right into WordPress, and the template blocks make drafting
gorgeous newsletters a breeze. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable,
self-hosted newsletter solution!

## Přehled změn

#### 1.3.0

 * Sign-up checkboxes for WPForms and Fluent Forms, and for Elementor Pro forms (
   beta): a ticked box subscribes the address from the form, with double opt-in 
   if it is on.
 * Web version of every newsletter: a „View in browser“ link in the footer opens
   it on your site, addressed to „there“ and counting nothing. It can be turned 
   off in Settings.
 * Public archive: the [postalion_archive] shortcode lists the newsletters sent 
   to everyone (or to the lists you name), newest first.
 * Digest of new posts: every day, week or month, at the hour you choose, the posts
   published since the last digest go out as one newsletter, to everyone or to chosen
   lists. Nothing is sent when there is nothing new. A button sends you a test digest
   first.

#### 1.2.2

 * Fix: some unsubscribe links answered „This link does not work“ (site users with
   a one-digit ID, subscribers with ID 1–9 or 1000–9999, and some addresses). The
   links now work, including the ones in emails that already went out.
 * Someone who unsubscribes while a newsletter is still going out no longer gets
   it from the batches that follow.

#### 1.2.1

 * A note on the dashboard asks for a review on WordPress.org once the first newsletter
   has gone out. It appears only on Postalion’s screens, and one answer makes it
   go away.

#### 1.2.0

 * Sending method: an SMTP server or a sending service can be set up in Settings,
   with a test button that tries the values before they are saved; the password 
   is stored encrypted. Optionally the same server carries all the mail of the site.
 * Import from MailPoet: subscribers, lists, statuses and sign-up dates come over
   in batches, without changing anything in MailPoet.
 * After activation the dashboard opens and the first step sends the test email 
   right there.
 * The dashboard shows the sending method and links to the changelog.

#### 1.1.0

 * Lists: group subscribers, fill a list from a form, send to chosen lists or to
   site users only.
 * Statistics, off by default: opens and clicks per newsletter, with the links clicked,
   counted on your own site.
 * Welcome email and new post notification, both optional.
 * The sign-up form as a block, with a live preview in the editor.
 * An optional sign-up popup.
 * Sign-up checkboxes for the registration form, comments, the WooCommerce checkout
   and Contact Form 7.
 * `postalion_subscribe()` for developers; new filters for the popup and the post
   notification.

#### 1.0.0

 * First release.
