General

What is WP Outreach?

WP Outreach is a complete email marketing and automation plugin for WordPress. It allows you to build your email list, create and send campaigns, set up automations, and track your results—all from within your WordPress dashboard.

Unlike external email marketing services, WP Outreach keeps your data on your own server and doesn’t charge per-subscriber fees.

Do I need any external services to use WP Outreach?

No, WP Outreach works out of the box with your WordPress site. However, for better email deliverability, we recommend connecting an SMTP service or Amazon SES.

The plugin supports various sending methods including:

  • WordPress default mail (wp_mail)
  • Custom SMTP server
  • Amazon SES
  • SendGrid, Mailgun, and other SMTP providers

Is WP Outreach GDPR compliant?

Yes, WP Outreach is designed with privacy in mind. Since all your subscriber data stays on your own server, you have complete control over your data.

The plugin includes features to help with GDPR compliance:

  • Double opt-in subscription
  • Easy unsubscribe in every email
  • Data export and deletion tools
  • Consent tracking

Integrations

Does WP Outreach work with WooCommerce?

  • Automatically add customers to your email list
  • Segment subscribers by purchase history
  • Send abandoned cart emails
  • Post-purchase follow-up sequences

  • Track revenue from email campaigns

The integration works seamlessly and requires no additional plugins.

How do I connect Amazon SES?

Connecting Amazon SES is straightforward:

  1. Create an AWS account and set up SES
  2. Generate API credentials (Access Key ID and Secret)
  3. Verify your sending domain in SES
  4. Enter your credentials in WP Outreach settings
  5. Test the connection

WP Outreach includes a setup wizard that guides you through the process. Amazon SES offers very low-cost email sending (about $0.10 per 1,000 emails).

What form plugins are supported?

  • Contact Form 7
  • WPForms
  • Gravity Forms
  • Ninja Forms
  • Formidable Forms

The plugin works with most quality WordPress hosts. For sending large volumes of email, we recommend using Amazon SES or a dedicated SMTP service.

How do I improve email deliverability?

  1. Use a professional SMTP service like Amazon SES, SendGrid, or Mailgun
  2. Set up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records for your domain

  4. Maintain a clean list by removing bounced and inactive subscribers
  5. Send relevant content to keep engagement high
