@realgenghiskhan What topic interests you in particualar?

@@keeponautomating how to setup mautic on subdomain on your hosting provider (hostinger in my case) using smtp. Best practices to keep emails from hitting spam folder. How to use it to manage newsletter opt-ins and various forms on Wordpress, running campaigns, and email template designing. I also would like a tutorial on how to white label it if possible. I’m a web designer using it for clients who don’t want to run mailchimp or other overpriced email marketing services.

this etailors doesnt work. If you set it up through the config --> email option its able to send out the test email successfully. However when i try to send emails to contacts it says Failed to send to : Unable to send an email: There are 1 partial failures, check logs for exception reasons. Odd given the test email goes out. Im running v5.1.1... logs show blank. looks like others are having issues too online from what i read with no solutuon that i found..do you know whats causing this?

[@keeponautomating]

Hello, did you install the latest version? 1.0.1 ?

[@johnvicente796]

@@keeponautomating yes i did on mautic 5.1.1. The test emails work in the config now but when i try to send it out using contacts as explained in your other video it doesnt send out. It says sent but amazon ses doesnt actually send it out. any ideas?

i would say not a good tutorial at all. for staters it says install symfony/amazon-mailer. Ok how? where do you get it? how do you install it? there is no reference to the aws console on how to do this. This is too much theory, and very little practical. I have unsubscribed

[@keeponautomating]

Thank you for your comment. On my website I explain how to install the symfony/amazon-mailer, at the same time if you watch my video, you'l realize, that it is not even needed, because all you need is a plugin.

[@Thestickyinsights]

@@keeponautomating i went on your site and it does NOT show how to install. simply saying you need the component doesnt help. Where do you get it? where do you install ot? also you do need the component because if you write mautic+ses+api in the scheme it says its not supported. I think you need to do some homework before making these videos or posting on blogs.

[@keeponautomating]

@@Thestickyinsights Hello! Thank you for the advice, I'll try to do more homework. Until then, plz check out this page: joeykeller.com/mautic-5-composer-install-simplified/ Scroll down, and read "Part Four: Add your email transport". I'm referring to this doc in my video. I'm also telling you not to do this. Why? because there is a plugin which does this for you. I also explain it in the video and in the post: joeykeller.com/mautic-5-this-is-how-email-setup-works/ (Search for the world AmazonSesBundle.)

[@Thestickyinsights]

@@keeponautomating please go to where you linked the plugin. There is abolustely no reference to how to install it....composer require etailors/mautic-amazon-ses doesnt work. So you passing the user to another site because you arent explaining it and then are linking to something that has no instructions. Not a great user experience. you seem quite knowledgeable but are making the user guess far too much. Hopefully this criticm makes your content better.

[@keeponautomating]

Hi, The plugin's install reference is in the plugin description always. I understand that my tutorials have a long way to go, thank you for the feedback!
