SMTP Pro v3: From SMTP Plugin to Email Platform

SMTP Pro v2.x was already the most capable WordPress SMTP plugin: async queue, webhook tracking, 8 providers, suppression lists, domain monitoring. The v3 roadmap transforms it into something bigger: a complete email platform, the WordPress-native alternative to Mailchimp and SendGrid Marketing.

v3.0: Foundation

Template discovery engine that intercepts wp_mail() calls and identifies which plugin or theme sent each email. Visual template editor for customising WordPress notification emails. Notification routing: send events to email, Microsoft Teams, Slack, or custom webhooks with per-event channel selection. Multi-from identities so different email types can come from different sender addresses.

v3.1: Tracking & Intelligence

Open and click tracking via magic pixel and link rewriting. Robot CRM logging for customer communication history. Scheduled sending (queue emails for a future time). Digest reports with delivery analytics. PDF invoice attachment integration with Stripe Pro.

v3.3: Infinite Emails

A purpose-built Glass app for designing email templates with table-based rendering. HTML emails are notoriously difficult because every inbox renders differently. Infinite Emails uses a constrained layout system (tables, inline styles, limited CSS) that renders consistently across Outlook, Gmail, Apple Mail, and mobile clients.

Freemium

The free tier on WordPress.org includes core SMTP delivery, the async queue, basic logging, and one provider. Pro unlocks all 8 providers, webhook tracking, domain monitoring, notification routing, templates, and campaigns. Honest free tier: a genuinely useful SMTP plugin that handles delivery reliably.
