The plugin focuses on: * **Safety** – emails are sent via a queue with a configurable hourly rate (e.g. 80 emails/hour for Gmail). * **Campaigns** – create named campaigns, pick a Flamingo channel and/or add manual email addresses, and let the plugin send them in the background. * **Deliverability** – plays nicely with SMTP plugins (e.g. Gmail), avoids spikes, and includes an unsubscribe blacklist. * **Branding** – (optional) credit footer at the bottom of each outgoing email. > This plugin **does not** scrape or collect any emails by itself. It only sends > to contacts that already exist in your Flamingo address book and the manual addresses > you provide. ### Features * Create and manage email **campaigns**. * Select recipients from **Flamingo channels** (per CF7 form). * Add **manual email addresses** (one per line) to a campaign. * Queue‑based sending with **rate limiting** (e.g. 80 emails/hour). * Campaign statuses: `pending`, `running`, `paused`, `completed`. * Start / pause / edit / delete campaigns from one screen. * **Blacklist (unsubscribe)** – a global list of email addresses that will be excluded from all campaigns. * Optional **credit footer** in each outgoing email: > “This email was sent with Bilbok Bulk Mailer for Flamingo by DERHAL.IR” * Send test emails: - Global test email from the settings page. - Campaign‑specific test email before launching a campaign. * Fully translatable (i18n ready). English is the default. A sample `fa_IR` translation can be added. * Clean, self‑contained code; no external SaaS, no phone‑home. ### Requirements * [Flamingo](https://wordpress.org/plugins/flamingo/) plugin (for the `flamingo_inbound` post type and channels). * (Recommended) An SMTP plugin, e.g.: - [WP Mail SMTP](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/) - [Post SMTP](https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-smtp/) * PHP 7.4 or higher. ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin folder `bilbok-bulk-mailer-for-flamingo` to the `/wp-content/ plugins/` directory, or install it through the WordPress Plugins screen. 2. Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” screen in WordPress. 3. Make sure the **Flamingo** plugin is installed and active (contacts and channels come from Flamingo). 4. Go to **Bilbok Bulk Mailer Settings** and: 5. * Set the **From email address** (must match the email in your SMTP plugin). * Set the **max emails per hour** (e.g. 80 for personal Gmail). * Set your default **test email** address. * (Optional) Keep the “Show credit footer” option enabled if you want the credit line in your emails. * (Optional) Add one or more email addresses to the **Blacklist** (one per line). 6. Go to **Bilbok Bulk Mailer Campaigns** to create your first campaign: 7. * Click **Add New Campaign**. * Enter a **campaign name**. * (Optional) Select a **Flamingo channel** (this corresponds to a CF7 form). * (Optional) Enter **manual email addresses**, one per line. * Set the **From email**, **rate per hour**, and **start time**. * Enter the **email subject** and **HTML content**. * Use **“Send test campaign”** to send a test email to yourself. * When you are satisfied, click **“Create campaign and enqueue emails”**. 8. The built‑in cron task (`bilbok_cf7bm_cron_send`) runs every 5 minutes and processes the queue: 9. * Only **one campaign** runs at a time (oldest pending/running first). * Emails are sent gradually up to the configured rate per hour. ## FAQ ### Does this plugin send spam? No. The plugin simply sends email campaigns to: * Contacts saved in Flamingo (via your existing Contact Form 7 forms). * Manual email addresses you provide. You are fully responsible for complying with email laws (GDPR, CAN‑SPAM, etc.) and only sending to people who have given you permission. ### Can I use it with Gmail? Yes, and it is designed with Gmail’s limits in mind: * You can configure a **max emails/hour** value (for example 80) in the settings. * The queue is processed every 5 minutes, dividing your hourly rate into small chunks. * Make sure to use an SMTP plugin configured with your Gmail or Google Workspace account. ### Does it work without Flamingo? No. This plugin is specifically designed to work with Flamingo contacts and channels. However, you can still send to **manual email addresses** in addition to Flamingo channels. ### Can I change or remove the credit footer? Yes: * In **Settings Show credit footer**, you can disable the footer entirely. * Developers can customize the footer HTML using the filter: bilbok_cf7bm_email_footer_html. ### How does the blacklist / unsubscribe feature work? In **Settings Email blacklist** you can enter one email address per line. Those addresses will be excluded from all campaigns even if they appear in Flamingo or manual lists. ### Can I change the recipients of an existing campaign? No. Once a campaign has been created, its recipient list is frozen to preserve queue integrity. If you need different recipients, create a **new** campaign. ### Is this plugin GDPR compliant? The plugin does not collect any personal data beyond what Flamingo (and CF7) already store. However, you are responsible for: * Having a proper legal basis for emailing your contacts. * Providing an unsubscribe mechanism (the blacklist feature can be part of that). ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Bilbok Bulk Mailer for Flamingo” is open source software.
