Luxletter - Email marketing in TYPO3. Send newsletters the easy way.

Inspired by TYPO3 extension direct_mail - thanks to the authors for the great work

Introduction

Email marketing tool in TYPO3. Just build and send newsletters to your customers. This extension does not need EXT:lux but works together with the marketing automation tool for TYPO3 to get even more receiver analytics data. Just add some HTML as content for your newsletters anywhere in the web or directly on your website, parse it and go for it.

Aspects of luxletter

The upside

• A useful and nice dashboard shows you the relevant information in the backend
• Modern newsletter extension for TYPO3 12 or 13
• Tracking of clicks via PSR-15 interface in TYPO3
• Sending mails in queue via symfony command controller
• Records for fe_groups (and there related fe_users) are used to send mails to
• An unsubscribe plugin is already included
• A teaser content element helps you to create newsletters out of default content elements in TYPO3
• Every website can be used as prototype for your newsletter
• A third party mail server can be used for newsletters
• Since 4.0 multiple sender configuration can be saved

The downside

• At the moment there is no bounce-management (Do you want to sponsor it? Contact us!)
• fe_users records are needed to send emails (sorry guys - no tt_address at the moment )
• There is no registration plugin for fe_users in EXT:luxletter. Please use a different extension (like femanager) for this task
