Email Automation

Gammadyne Mailer has many capabilities oriented towards automating a wide range of email operations. This includes one-time operations launched by the user, as well as always-on duties that run on a server. More specifically:

Sending and receiving operations can be launched on a regular schedule.
Personalization, where database fields are merged into outgoing emails.
Form data in an email can be extracted and processed.
Drip-Marketing, where new subscribers receive a series of emails over time.
Auto-Responding, Auto-Forwarding.
Round-Robin Forwarding, where incoming emails are distributed to staff members.
Processing bounce-backs, sign-ups, and opt-outs that arrive by email.
Adding, removing, and changing recipients in the mailing list.
Command line parameters can launch sending, receiving, and list management tools. This is useful for integrating with Windows Task Scheduler, or for triggering operations from a script or DOS batch file.
List-Serving/Discussion Groups, where members can send an email to all other members.

Scripting

Gammadyne Mailer's built-in scripting language makes practically any automation scenario possible. Outgoing messages can be personalized by merging or manipulating database columns. Incoming messages can conditionally trigger auto-responding, forwarding, or other actions based on the content of the email.

Following is an example of an Incoming Script that can process sign-ups, opt-outs, and bounce-backs in a single email account. Sign-ups must have the keyword "subscribe" or "signup" in the subject. Out-outs must have the keyword "unsubscribe" or "remove" in the subject. Hard bounces are removed from the mailing list while everything else, excluding soft bounces, are forwarded to an administrator.

[[if str_contains_any_i(-Subject-, "remove", "unsubscribe") or incoming_is_hard_bounce()]]
    [[remove_recipients(-Email-)]]
[[elseif str_contains_any_i(-Subject-, "subscribe", "signup")]]
    [[db_add_row("my_signup_date_column", -Now-, "my_status_code_column", 1)]]
[[elseif !incoming_is_soft_bounce()]]
    [[incoming_forward("admin@example.com")]]
[[endif]]
