Send Events
Ultimate WP Mail comes with the ability to set up send events. These are triggers that will automatically send out a notification when something specific happens on your site. There are many available send events, including the WooCommerce features mentioned above as well site-specific triggers like when a profile is updated, a password is changed, a new post is published, a new comment is created, and more.
You can assign any email that you have created in the plugin to each send event. You could even create multiple send events for the same trigger and assign multiple different notifications to them. The possibilities are endless!

New user registration
When a user profile is updated
When a user role changes
When a user password is reset
After a specified amount of time that a user has not logged in
When a new post is published

A specified amount of time after a WooCommerce cart has been abandoned
When a WooCommerce product is purchased
A specified amount of time after a WooCommerce purchase
When a new WooCommerce product is added
When a WooCommerce subscription is purchased/created
Email Logging
The Ultimate WP Mail plugin also includes a powerful email logging tool. This logs not only the emails sent by the plugin itself, but all emails sent out from your WordPress. This is invaluable for knowing whether or not your messages are getting through and, if not, why. The details included in the log are:
Email status (e.g. success, failure, failure reason)
Subject
Recipient
Send date
Output of the email content
We have also included an option to send a notification to the admin whenever the log detects that an email has failed to send. You can customize this message with your own content and dynamic template tags that will automatically include pertinent information about the failed email.
SMTP
We have also included the ability for you to add in your own SMTP information for email sending. With this you can send emails from your real email address/server/host.
WordPress users often find that automatic emails sent from their site fail to get to the recipient. This is usually because they are blocked or flagged as spam. If you have checked the logs and noticed the emails are being sent, but not received, then it’s usually a good idea to use the SMTP feature to send emails via your real address. This will greatly reduce the chance of them getting blocked.
The following SMTP info can be entered/customized:
SMTP host
Encryption type
Port number
Email address authentication
You will also find options that let you specify the from name and address for your automatic emails.
Subscription Interests
The Ultimate WP Mail plugin also comes with the ability for you to let users choose different interests for which they can receive notification updates. This can be added to the user profile page and the user registration form. You can also added anywhere else on your site using the handy included Subscription Interests Gutenberg block or shortcode.
Here they can choose from the following interests:
WooCommerce product categories
Post categories
Unique Ultimate WP Mail categories, which you can include in the plugin and utilize for custom emails
If a user has selected any subscription interest, they will automatically receive a notification when that event happens (new product or post is published, etc.).
Additional Features
Ultimate WP Mail comes with a number of other advanced email sending features that will help you make your email management and email sending as efficient and effective as possible. Additional features include:
User statistics that show the number of emails opened and links clicked
Email categories, which can be used in combination with user lists to create well-targeted emails
Option to automatically include an unsubscribe link in emails
Styling options to further refine the look of your emails (email background color, email text alignment, email block styling)
Labelling options, so you can change the text of elements like the subscribe and unsubscribe links as well as the subscription interests form
The emails created in and by Ultimate WP Mail are all responsive emails. If you are looking for a tool that will help you send out mobile emails or help with your mobile CRM setup, this is it. A perfect complement to your current email marketing efforts, you can send a bulk email or mass email to any or all users. And, with the included newsletter signup email widget, you can get new users and email subscribers effortlessly.
Set up WooCommerce reminders and WooCommerce notifications, as well as email reminders for other elements. Create email notifications for specific actions and send emails directly to your users. With Ultimate WP Mail, the email sending possibilities are endless.
