This version fundamentally changes how you handle communication on your website, giving you complete control over every email your server sends, from marketing campaigns to core transactional receipts.
What’s coming in 2.0
Advanced Email Automation (Beta)
Stop sending manual campaigns and start building automated journeys. MailerPress 2.0 introduces a visual automation builder that allows you to create sophisticated email workflows.
Using our new trigger-based system, conditional logic, and multi-step paths, you can completely automate your email marketing funnel. Whether it is an onboarding sequence for new subscribers or a re-engagement campaign, the automation system runs silently in the background to grow your business.
Full Control Over System and Transactional Emails
Your transactional emails have the highest open rates. It is time they match your branding. MailerPress 2.0 now intercepts and overrides default system emails.
Customizing native WordPress emails
Say goodbye to plain-text WordPress notifications. You can now use the MailerPress visual editor to completely redesign new user welcome emails, password resets, comment notifications, and admin alerts.
Editing WooCommerce transactional emails
For e-commerce stores, MailerPress 2.0 offers full WooCommerce email customization. Redesign your order confirmations, customer invoices, shipment notifications, and low stock alerts. We have included dynamic merge tags so you can easily pull product details and order information directly into your custom layouts.
Enhanced Design and Template Management
We have streamlined how you create and store your designs to speed up your workflow:
- Multiple Email Editors: depending on your technical preference, you can now choose between our standard Visual Editor (drag-and-drop block builder) and a new raw HTML editor, perfect for pasting pre-built code or writing HTML from scratch.
- Standalone Template Creation: you no longer need to start a campaign to design an email. You can now create, save, and manage templates independently, making it easier to build a library of reusable assets for future campaigns.
Expanding Your Sending Infrastructure
Deliverability remains our top priority, and version 2.0 brings massive upgrades to how your emails leave your server:
- 3 New Native ESPs: we have added native API integrations for Resend, Emailit, and SMTP2GO. All three providers include automatic bounce tracking and webhook support, giving you robust, scalable options for high-volume sending.
- Native WordPress Routing: you can now select the native WordPress
wp_mail()function as your Email Service Provider. This makes MailerPress instantly compatible with any third-party SMTP plugin you might already be using (like WP Mail SMTP), ensuring seamless integration into your existing infrastructure.
Ecosystem Integrations
We are bridging the gap between MailerPress and the rest of your WordPress stack:
- Divi Builder Integration: MailerPress now integrates natively with the Divi Builder’s opt-in email module. You can capture subscribers and automatically assign them to lists and tags without leaving the Divi interface.
- WordPress User Sync: you can now synchronize your existing WordPress user base directly with your MailerPress audiences.
- Multilingual Support: essential MailerPress settings can now be translated using the new wpml-config file, ensuring better compatibility with WPML setups.
Developer Tools and Platform Health
Version 2.0 brings enterprise-level security and quality-of-life improvements for site administrators and developers.
- Granular API Key Management: we have overhauled API key management to include granular permission controls. You can restrict API access to specific resources (like contacts or campaigns) and enforce rate limits and IP restrictions per key.
- Notification Center: a new intelligent alert system automatically audits your site configuration. It will display contextual alerts if critical functions like WP-Cron are disabled or if setup steps are missing, ensuring your campaigns never fail silently.
- Security & UI Refinements: we have enforced strict API key scopes on all REST API protected endpoints to prevent unauthorized access. In the interface, the Review & Send modal has been polished, the Query Block now supports post meta, and our White Label settings now allow you to hide premium templates from your clients.
MailerPress 2.0 is a massive leap forward. You can update your plugin directly from the WordPress dashboard today.
