Getting started
Install, set up sending, schedule the task
- Install the module
In Modules → Module Manager, upload the .zip file from your customer account. Five ready-to-use segments are created: newsletter subscribers, new subscribers of the last 7 days, abandoned carts, customers with no order for 6 months, today's birthdays.
- Open the screen
Menu entry Modules → FS Newsletter, or the Configure button. A tab bar links every page of the module: campaigns, segments, imported contacts, unsubscribes and bounces, sending channel, bounce handling, tracking, pace.
- Check the sender and the channel
Sending channel tab: sender name and address (the shop's by default), then the channel. The PrestaShop email configuration is used at first; a dedicated SMTP server or a provider's API improves the deliverability of bulk sending. Send yourself a test email from the same screen.
- Schedule the task
Without any setting, batches go out as visitors browse, at most every five minutes. For regular sending and campaigns scheduled on time, add the command shown in the Pace and scheduled task tab at your host, every five minutes.
Hourly limit — set in the Pace tab the number of emails per hour allowed by your host or SMTP server (300 by default): beyond it, messages are refused or flagged as spam.
