FAQ
Can I use Mailster with services like Amazon SES or SendGrid?
Yes, absolutely. Mailster is designed to work with a wide range of email sending services. You can configure it to send emails through your web host, a Gmail/G Suite account, or professional SMTP providers like Amazon SES, SendGrid, Mailgun, and others. Using a dedicated sending service is highly recommended for better deliverability and to avoid landing in spam folders.
Is it possible to import my existing subscribers from Mailchimp?
Yes, Mailster makes it easy to migrate your existing lists. You can import subscribers by uploading a CSV file, which you can easily export from services like Mailchimp, AWeber, or any other email marketing platform. The plugin will guide you through mapping the columns (like email, first name, etc.) to ensure a smooth transition.
How does Mailster's automation work?
Mailster's automation feature, or auto-responder, allows you to create a sequence of emails that are sent automatically based on specific triggers. For example, you can set up a welcome series for new subscribers, send birthday emails, or create a campaign that automatically sends your latest blog posts to your list on a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule. This helps you engage your audience without manual effort.
Are the email templates created with Mailster mobile-friendly?
Yes, all templates and campaigns created with the Mailster drag-and-drop editor are fully responsive by default. This ensures that your newsletters will look great and be easy to read on any device, including desktops, tablets, and smartphones, which is crucial as a significant portion of emails are opened on mobile devices.
