A plugin for quick mailing in your Weblocks application.
Its features are:
-
Mass mailings with filtered targets
-
Single emails
-
Preview all emails before sending, see emails already sent.
-
Spellcheck your emails with yandex speller
Currently supports sendmail transport.
Requires Weblocks, tested with 0.10.19 and Weblocks CMS, tested with 0.4.8
First important thing is that you should have emails collected somewhere.
You should have "email model" - class for emails. Each "email model" instance should have one email.
For example class 'user with slot 'email. It should work with plugin.
Model means Weblocks Stores model.
To say "Weblocks CMS Mailings" you have such model you should do something like
(defparameter weblocks-cms-mailings:*email-model* 'weblocks-cms::user) And to say "Weblocks CMS Mailings" which value to use for each model instance, you should define weblocks-cms-mailings:email-model-email-address which should return email.
Other important thing is email from address, it can be set By
(defparameter weblocks-cms-mailings:*default-email-from* +email-from+)It is required to start cl-cron for messages sending.
Also, you should call cl-cron:make-cron-job with 'weblocks-cms-mailings:send-messages as a parameter
Also remember that only weblocks-cms::message objects with status ready-to-send would be sent.
You should set status automatically or manually.
Default status for mailings is created, so you can preview emails but they will be sent via cl-cron job only after you set right status.
When you need to remove some records from email targets filters, for example users without emails should not be there, you can use weblocks-cms-mailings:email-model-display-in-grid-p method.
See the source for example.
Apart from integration options there is one for spellcheck - weblocks-cms-mailings:*spellcheck-enabled-p*.
Currently it checks spelling during mass mailings. Warning, it can take a long time for it.
