README

Provides automated followup emails and mass mailings for Silverstripe's Shop module (https://github.com/burnbright/silverstripe-shop).

Follow up emails:

These allow you to send a given email (with some substitutions for customer name, order contents, etc) to all order with a given status a certain number of days after the last touch date. If the order is still a cart you can also insert a button in the email to re-claim the cart even if the user wasn't logged in.

Examples:

• Send an "are you still interested?" email to abandoned carts 3 days after the last edit (i.e. the last time they added or removed an item).
• Send a thank you note 7 days after an order
• Send a coupon code 30 days after an order to attract repeat business.

Mass Mailings:

When this feature is on, all orders and member accounts will automatically be added to a mailing list and you'll have a CMS interface to create and send mailing to this list.

The only adapter included is for Mailgun, but you could easily write one for MailChimp, ConstantContact or Silverstripe's email newsletter module.

By default this feature is turned off. To turn it on add something like the following yml config:

MailingListEmail:
  default_adapter_class: MailgunMailingListAdapter
MailgunMailingListAdapter:
  api_key: XXXX
  domain: yourdomain.com
  test_mode: no

Install

1. composer require markguinn/silverstripe-shop-email
2. Visit /dev/build at your site's URL (or framework/sake dev/build)
3. Set up a cron job to run dev/tasks/FollowUpEmailTask every night.
