Newsletter
Send a newsletter from WordPress itself — no Mailchimp, no price per address
A newsletter here is a layout: the same builder, the same blocks, the same colours as the site. What lands in the inbox is built for mailboxes — one column, tables, no grid. It goes out from your website, in batches, to a list that lives in your database and belongs to you.
Writing
- The same builder as a page
- A header and footer template every letter inherits
- Content templates for what you send again and again
- Duplicate a letter and change it
- Send yourself a sample first
The list
- A sign-up block, anywhere on the site
- Double opt-in, with the date and where they signed up
- One-click unsubscribe in every letter
- CSV in and out
- Members and customers can be taken over
Sending
- Now, or at a time you set
- In batches, so an ordinary server copes
- Opens, clicks, unsubscribes and bounces
- Everything that went out is in the mail log
- No service in between, no price per thousand
Write it
Nothing new to learn.
If you can build a page you can write a newsletter: heading, text, picture, button, two columns — the same blocks, the same side panel. What ambera makes of it is built for mailboxes: one column, tables instead of grids, fonts that survive Outlook. The header and footer are templates every letter inherits, and a letter you send often becomes a template of its own.
The people on it
Addresses in your database, not somebody else's.
The sign-up is a block — in the footer, inside a post, in a mega menu. Whoever signs up gets a mail and confirms; only then are they on the list, with the date, the source and the record of that confirmation. Unsubscribing is one click from any letter. No address leaves your server, and nobody ever charges you for your thousandth subscriber.
Out and back
In batches out, with numbers back.
Send now or set a time. ambera sends in batches and remembers where it got to, so two thousand addresses go out even on a host that allows a hundred an hour. Afterwards the list says how many opened it, how many came to the site, who unsubscribed and what could not be delivered at all.
Questions
Do I need Mailchimp or Brevo?
No. Writing, the list, sending and the numbers are in the plugin. No account somewhere else, no price per thousand addresses, and no copy of your subscriber list on a server you do not control.
Is there a limit on how many people I can send to?
That depends on your mail sending, not on ambera: it sends in batches and takes its time. A few thousand addresses work on ordinary hosting; above that you enter an SMTP account that allows more.
Will it land in spam?
That is decided by your sending domain, not by the plugin: a real domain with SPF and DKIM arrives, an invented sender does not. ambera writes clean HTML with a text version beside it and puts the unsubscribe link where it belongs. What the server said is in the log.
Do subscribers have to confirm?
Yes, and it is meant to stay on: whoever signs up confirms by mail. The date and the source sit on the address — that is the record you want if anyone ever asks.
Is it in the free version?
No, the newsletter is Pro, and it is in every Pro plan.
