Advanced Messaging & Communication Plugin

A Smart Way to Handle Emails in WordPress Projects

This plugin started as a side quest.

While building another WordPress plugin, I hit the point where I needed a proper messaging system—something to handle user emails based on events (signups, form submissions, purchases, etc.). I figured I’d just plug in a ready-made solution.

But most existing options were either too rigid, overcomplicated, or didn’t quite fit the workflow I needed. So instead of trying to bend something else to work, I built Advanced Messaging & Communication—originally just for my use.

Somewhere along the way, it turned into its own thing.

Why You Might Want This

If you’re a plugin developer, chances are you’ve written messaging logic more than once. This plugin is for when you don’t want to rebuild that part from scratch again.

It’s designed to:

auto-register messaging actions
let you define dynamic, tag-based templates
route emails based on context
stay flexible enough to hook into anything

And all of it is controllable from inside your admin panel, no fancy UI frameworks or third-party services required (unless you want them).

Core Features (That Actually Matter)

🧠 Auto-Registration
Actions like user_registered or form_submitted register themselves on first run. No manual mapping.
🏷 Smart Tagging
Define tags in your data, then use them inside email templates for dynamic content.
📨 Priority Routing
Messages get routed using a simple logic: first to a custom email if defined, then user email, then admin fallback.
🧩 Developer Hooks & API Access
Global helper, action hook, shortcode, or direct API—use what fits your style.
🛠 Template System
With previews, categories, revisions, and HTML editing. You can version your templates and keep things organized.
📊 Basic Analytics
Open rates, click tracking, delivery status—all logged and viewable.

Bonus Stuff

The free tier is generous enough for most projects.
You can extend it easily with hooks and filters.
It plays well with custom post types, user meta, and whatever data structures you’re using.
Built using OOP, WordPress standards, and namespaced to avoid collisions.
SMS support is planned—already laid the groundwork.

Real Use Cases I Had in Mind

Auto emails for onboarding, purchases, bookings, etc.
Internal project updates or client notifications
Feedback requests, digests, or anything time-based
Sending follow-ups based on user activity

Getting Started

Install like any plugin
Create a template
Trigger an action (like user registration)
Email gets sent using the right content and tags

That’s it.

You can customize everything else later—priority rules, delivery conditions, template logic, whatever.

Why Release It?

Originally, I was just solving a messaging problem for myself. But once I realized how reusable this setup was, I figured other developers might find it useful too—especially if you’re tired of wiring up notifications manually for every project.

This isn’t a magic bullet. But if you’re looking for a smart, flexible starting point for messaging in your plugins or WordPress builds, this might save you some time—and grow with you as your projects get more complex.
