Advanced Email addon
A granular email palette, 16 extra events, and a broadcast composer with a sending queue.
The Advanced Email addon (Pro) extends the free email system — it layers onto the same Settings → Email tab, no separate menu.
Advanced palette
Beyond the free logo, position, and footer controls, Advanced Email adds an Advanced Palette — granular colors for the header, body, buttons, and footer (background, dividers, title, text, bold text, footnote, primary/secondary buttons) — plus Button Position and Emails Per Cron Run.
More events
It adds 16 extra notification events (off by default) across students, instructors, and admin — for example a Welcome Email, quiz-passed, student-completed, new-Q&A, new-signup, and course-published notifications.
Broadcast campaigns
The Manual Email card (“Broadcast a one-off message…”) opens a composer with:
- Audience — All students, All instructors, Course enrollees (pick the course), or specific users
- A live recipient count
- Subject and Message (HTML, with merge tags like
{first_name}and{site_name}) - Send Email
Safe bulk sending
Sends of up to 200 recipients go out immediately; larger audiences are queued and drained over WP-Cron in batches (default 50, configurable), with automatic retries. Every broadcast includes an unsubscribe link in the footer.
Good for
Launch announcements, cohort updates, and re-engagement emails to students who haven’t finished a course.
