Email & Notifications Setup

Influenzic has a complete email queue system built in. Emails are written to the database queue first, then delivered — allowing for retry on failure and batched digest delivery.

Sender Configuration

Navigate to Influenzic → Settings → Emails:

• Sender Name — displayed as the “From” name in all outbound emails
• Sender Address — the From email address (use your platform domain, not Gmail)

SMTP Configuration

WordPress’s built-in wp_mail() uses PHP’s mail() function by default, which is unreliable on most hosts. We strongly recommend configuring SMTP:

1. 1
   Install an SMTP plugin such as WP Mail SMTP or FluentSMTP.
2. 2
   Configure it with your SMTP provider credentials (SendGrid, Mailgun, AWS SES, Postmark).
3. 3
   Use the plugin’s test email feature to verify delivery before going live.

Email Digest Modes

Set the digest frequency under Settings → Notifications:

• Immediate — each notification triggers an email immediately
• Hourly digest — all unsent notifications bundled and sent once per hour
• Daily digest — all unsent notifications bundled once per day

Email Templates

Every transactional email has an editable template. Navigate to Influenzic → Settings → Emails → Templates and select any event to edit its subject line and body.

Available template variables vary by event. All templates support:

• {{platform_name}} — your marketplace name
• {{user_name}} — recipient’s display name
• {{platform_url}} — your site URL
