Creating campaigns programmatically

January 23, 2023

Several clients have been asking for a way to create new campaigns programmatically from code. This is something that we used to support in older versions and also something that has been on the roadmap, so we're very happy to announce that this is now supported.

There are lots of use cases for this but here are some examples of what you could do:

If you have a blog or news-listing on your page you could create a background job that sends daily, weekly or monthly summary to your recipients and populate the content based on your actual blog posts or new articles.
Automatically trigger a campaign when a Umbraco content node is saved.
Create your own UI to configure the campaign settings and then create the campaign from code.

Please have a look at the documentation for code samples and details.

The feature is currently implemented in:

Newsletter Studio v11.0.1
Newsletter Studio v10.0.2
Newsletter Studio v4.0.5
Newsletter Studio v3.0.9

We are working on backporting this feature to older versions as well.

Installation: https://www.newsletterstudio.org/installation/

List Unsubscribe headers to comply with Gmail and Yahoo
January 29, 2024

More and more recipients will mark unwanted e-mails as SPAM, lowering the reputation for sending e-mail server and making it harder for spam-filters to detect the real spam. The List-Unsubscribe header was introduced to mitigate this problem and to make it easier for recipients to unsubscribe from unwanted e-mails.

Gmail and Yahoo recently announced that they will demand big e-mail senders to include these headers in marketing emails beginning in February 2024.

In our latest release, we include native support for List-Unsubscribe headers to facilitate better deliverability.
