== Description ==

**Newsletters, Email Marketing, Automation and CRM for WordPress**

SureContact is a cloud-based email marketing and CRM platform built specifically for WordPress.

It lets you send newsletters, run email automations, manage contacts and track ecommerce revenue from one dashboard, without slowing down your site.

Instead of relying on expensive external tools or overloading your WordPress hosting, SureContact keeps execution in the cloud while staying deeply connected to WordPress.

With SureContact, you can:

* Manage all contacts and customers in one place
* Automatically sync data from WooCommerce, SureCart and forms
* Send newsletters and automated emails reliably via your own SMTP
* Track revenue generated from campaigns and automations
* Run everything without adding load to your WordPress site

You get the simplicity of WordPress with the power and reliability of a modern email marketing platform.

That's what **SureContact** is built for.

**How SureContact Works**

SureContact brings email marketing and customer management together without affecting your site speed or adding load to your hosting.

1. Install and activate SureContact
2. Connect your site to your SureContact account
3. Turn on live sync and migrate contacts
4. Add your SMTP details
5. Send your first campaign or automation and watch revenue and engagement update in real time

**One Dashboard for Contacts, Campaigns and Revenue**

Instead of switching between tools, you can clearly see how contacts, emails and sales connect, making it easier to focus on what actually drives revenue.

From SureContact, you can:

* View all customers and subscribers in a single dashboard
* Automatically sync contacts from WooCommerce, SureCart and Easy Digital Downloads
* Send email campaigns to your full list or specific segments
* Build automated follow-up sequences for new customers or to recover abandoned carts
* Segment contacts by purchases, form submissions, email opens and tags
* Track revenue tied to each campaign and automation
* Use readymade or AI-generated templates for newsletters and launches
* Manage multiple brands or client accounts from one workspace
* Invite team members to collaborate on campaigns
* Monitor real-time analytics and email performance
* Export your contact list anytime

Everything runs in the cloud, so there is no extra load on your WordPress site.

**Email Campaigns, Send When You're Ready**

Send as many campaigns as you need. No limits. No throttling.

* Schedule newsletters, promotions and announcements from one calendar
* Segment contacts by purchase history, behavior, or custom tags before sending
* Turn winning campaigns into reusable templates
* Use a drag and drop editor that's intuitive and fast

**Build Email Automations Without Worrying About Breaks**

Set up simple automations for new customers, abandoned cart users and repeat buyers without leaving WordPress.

* Send welcome emails the moment someone signs up or makes a purchase
* Build post-purchase sequences for reviews or product recommendations
* Tag contacts based on email opens and website behavior
* Send timed emails that respond to customer actions
* Use the AI-powered email creator to generate follow-ups in seconds

**SMTP and Email Sending, You Control Everything**

Send emails through the SMTP providers you already trust. No per-send charges. No surprise fees.

* Connect SendGrid, AWS SES, Mailgun, Gmail, or any SMTP service
* Use different SMTP providers for different brands or clients
* Own your sender reputation instead of relying on managed platforms
* Control sending volume, which can help improve inbox placement
* Avoid external platforms controlling your email delivery

This is a major advantage over managed SMTP solutions that increase costs as your email volume grows.

**External Service Connection / Security**

SureContact connects your WordPress site with our SaaS securely. When a user initiates a connection, they are redirected to the SaaS login page. Upon clicking Connect, the SaaS generates a short-lived, single-use token which is sent back to WordPress via a redirect. WordPress then verifies the token server-to-server before storing the access token and user data for future API calls. Tokens are time-limited (1–5 minutes), single-use, and encrypted in transit using HTTPS. This ensures secure authentication, prevents token reuse, and protects user data. No actions are taken by WordPress until token verification succeeds. The access token will be used to sync contact data from various sources including WordPress users, e-commerce platforms (SureCart, WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads), and form submissions (SureForms, WPForms, Contact Form 7) to your SureContact workspace. All privacy and data handling comply with WordPress.org Plugin Guidelines.
