Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Emerge Campaigns
Emerge Campaigns dispatches every send via WordPress's wp_mail() function — the same function any other WordPress plugin uses to send email. Whatever transport your site is already configured for (host SMTP, a transactional-email plugin, or PHP's default mail) handles the actual delivery. Deliverability depends on that configuration.
A daily background sync pulls from whichever sources you enable in Settings: WordPress users, comment authors, WooCommerce customers, Easy Digital Downloads customers, Jetpack contact form submissions, Jetpack Subscriptions, MailPoet subscribers, Newsletter Plugin subscribers, Contact Form 7 submissions (via Flamingo), and Gravity Forms entries. You can also add contacts manually from the Contacts screen, and accept self-signups via the Emerge Subscribe form (shortcode, block, or widget).
A static segment is a manually-curated list — pick the contacts you want, save the segment, those contacts are members until you remove them. A dynamic segment is a rule definition (e.g. "source = woocommerce AND subscribed_at >= 2026-01-01") evaluated at send time, so membership stays current as new contacts arrive.
A Broadcast is a one-time send — compose it, pick an audience, and send now or schedule it for later. A Newsletter is a recurring series: you choose a daily / weekly / monthly cadence and a time of day, and a background sweep spawns each issue automatically. Newsletters have their own menu and a read-only Issues log showing every issue that's gone out. Both are built on the same engine; they're just separated so the one-off and ongoing workflows stay uncluttered.
Yes — that's what the Newsletter surface is for. Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cadence with a send time; a background sweep job spawns the next issue as a fresh child campaign at each interval. The parent stays editable, so changes to the template or segment propagate forward. By default a new issue is only spawned when the rendered content has actually changed since the last one (an opt-out "send only if content changed" checkbox) — ideal for newsletters that pull dynamic content like recent posts. You can pause or stop the series at any time.
If the companion Emerge Mail plugin is delivering your mail, it reports bounces and complaints back to Emerge Campaigns. A hard bounce or spam complaint suppresses the contact — it's dropped from the mailable audience and hidden from the default Contacts view — while a soft bounce is marked but kept mailable. On a hard bounce you can optionally (off by default) delete a linked WordPress user, reassigning their content, and reassign the bounced address's anonymous comments to a fallback user. Without Emerge Mail, this is simply inactive.
Yes. Templates render through the same the_content filter pipeline as front-end posts, so Query Loop and any other block that works in posts works in emails. This is especially useful for newsletter templates that pull in recent posts dynamically.
Three ways, all interchangeable: drop the [emerge_campaigns_subscribe] shortcode anywhere on a post or page; add the "Emerge Subscribe" block in the block editor; or add the "Emerge Subscribe" widget to a sidebar or block-based widget area. All three render the same form, accept the same options (heading, description, button label, optional first/last name fields, optional consent line), and submit to the same endpoint. Submissions land in the Contacts table with source emerge_subscribe.
Yes. With JavaScript enabled, submissions go through a small vanilla-JS module that posts to a REST endpoint and renders the result inline with no page reload. With JavaScript disabled or blocked, the same form falls back to a classic POST + redirect that surfaces the same result inline on the next render. Same nonce, same validation, only the transport differs.
Every send has a unique token. The token is used to build a per-recipient unsubscribe URL placed in both the email body ({{unsubscribe_url}}) and the List-Unsubscribe header. Mail clients that support RFC 8058 (Gmail, Apple Mail) show a native one-click unsubscribe button that POSTs to the URL without a browser round-trip.
