## Description

Sendmachine’s official plugin will enable you to:

**Set up signup forms**
 You can set up a signup form in a few easy steps: connect
using the provided API [credentials](https://www.sendmachine.com/admin/#/myaccount/smtp_settings),
select a contact list where your visitors will subscribe and you’re basically good
to go. The signup form is available as a widget (in your widget area) or as a shortlink
by pasting `[sm_subscribe_form]` in a post or page.

**Add subscribe checkboxes**
 Allow users to subscribe to your contact list only
by checking a checkbox in certain website areas like comment form or register form.

**Sync your wordpress users with a specific contact list**
 You want to send emails
to all your users but don’t know how? Well, don’t worry, we can help you with that.
After you’ve successfully selected a contact list, you can use the “_Sync users_”
button, to subscribe all your users to that contact list.

**Send emails through our services**
 No need for nasty, geeky configurations. Just
set a from email, an optional from name and you are good to go. Also, make sure 
that “_enable email sending_” is set to `on`. If you set a _from email_ that doesn’t
already exist in your sendmachine account as a _sender address_, a confirmation 
email will be generated and sent to that address. Not quite sure if you’ve done 
everything right? You can test if everything is ok by sending a test email. If you
got the mail, you can sit back and relax: you’ve done it, otherwise something went
wrong.

**Send transactional emails**
 No more “_dog ate my email_” excuses. Using our services
you can now monitor an email’s activity (opens, clicks, geolocations, user agents).
In order to enable this option, after you install our plugin, go to “_email settings_”
tab and check that “_Register_” and/or “_Comment_” checkboxes. Basically, if you
tick that checkboxes on each email sent, that coresponds with that action, we add
a custom tracking header: `X-Sendmachine-Campaign: campaign_name`, where _campaign\
_name_ is the name of the transactional campaign that will be created, or updated
if already exists. Campaign’s name can be found/modified next to every action’s 
checkbox.

**Send news feed**
 You can send a newsletter directly from the admin panel with
the latest posts. You can choose to build your newsletter with the latest 5, 10,
15 or 20 posts, set newsletter’s width, color and content.

## FAQ

### What is Sendmachine?

Sendmachine is an email marketing service provider that offers all the tools you
need to send your beautiful newsletters to destination.

### Do I need a Sendmachine Account?

Yes, you do, but you can easily [create](https://www.sendmachine.com/admin/#/register)
one for free.

### How to get started with this plugin?

Grab your API credentials from our [site](https://www.sendmachine.com/admin/#/myaccount/smtp_settings)
and head out to the plugin’s “_general_” tab to fill in the appropriate fields.

### What does track emails mean?

Track emails means that a transactional campaign will be created when a checked 
action occurs and an email is sent.

### Can’t see the subscription widget

Sendmachine subscription widget will be visible only after you’ve successfully connected
to the API (using the API credentials) and have selected a contact list.

### Signup form not hiding after successful signup

_Hide form after a successful sign-up_ option works only if the visitor that subscribed
has an account and is logged in to your site.

### What does “Refresh cached contact lists” mean?

_Refresh cached contact lists_ refers to the fact that, for optimisation purposes,
the plugin does not perform a request to sendmachine each time you visit that page,
it caches your list data. For this reason, if you create a new contact list, you
need to acknowledge the plugin that you made some changes to your lists.

### A form field is checked and I can’t uncheck it

If a contact list’s form field is checked and the checkbox is grayed out (you can’t
uncheck it), it means that is required.

### What are subscribe checkboxes?

Subscribe checkboxes are used to subscribe people to your contact list when they
perform certain actions like register or comment.

### I can’t sync users or add signup checkbox to register and comment form

If you encounter this problem, most likely you selected a contact list that has 
more required fields than these options can operate with. Basically when performing
this operations, just the email address is sent for subscription and if a list has
more required fields, like _name_ or _age_, subscription will not be successful 
because we did not sent a value for the extra required fields.

### I confirmed my from address, but the interface still notices me that I have to confirm my address

If you added a from address that does not exist in your _sender list_, a confirmation
email will be sent to you. After you confirm your email address, you need to go 
back to the plugin’s “_Email settings_” tab and hit that _I already confirmed my
address_ button to acknowledge the plugin that you confirmed your address, this 
is not done automatically.

### What are those keywords?

With that keywords you can build your newsletter without the need of an actual content.
This way you can customize your newsletter how you want.
 Those keywords will be
replaced with the actual content when you preview the newsletter, or send it.

### In which languages is this plugin available?

This plugin is currently available in English and Romanian.
