Features

Easy To Use

Just like all other Mandeeps module, Live Campaign’s User Interface is extremely clean and intuitive to use.

Reliable

Application restart (app pool recycle) and even server reboots will not interrupt the email process which is SQL driven and powered by DNN Scheduler.

Flexible

Send an email campaign to your subscribers, DNN Security roles or email addresses from your legacy application using a SQL Query. Schedule the campaign to be delivered in future or automatically send daily, weekly, or monthly using recurring schedule.

Powerful

Automatically tracks each email and its link activity. Automated bounce management keeps your lists clean and healthy and contribute to accurate and informative reports.

Content

HTML Template

HTML editor allows you to author your email content using any arbitrary HTML Content. It’s easy to create your own using the editor, paste the HTML Markup of a pre-defined newsletter template, or simply change the placeholder values of the default template specified by an administrator.

Aggregate Content

Aggregate content from multiple sources using SQL Queries to generate a single newsletter. For example, show the upcoming events, latest blog posts, and company news; all aggregated from different sources including separate modules or even legacy SQL database.

File Attachments

It’s easy to include an attachment to your newsletters. You can attach any file from within your DNN Portal.

Draft & Copy Campaign

Save your campaign as a draft so you can perfect it later. It’s just as easy to copy an existing campaign as a basis for your new one.

Lists & Subscribers

Subscriber List

Create & Manage unlimited subscriber lists. Lists can be Public or Private for internal use only. Quickly see number of active, unsubscribed, and bounced emails for each list. A visual graph shows the list growth over past several months.

Add Subscribers

Automatically Import

Lists can be configured to automatically import new email address form either a pre-defined SQL Query or DNN Security Roles. This is a great feature to automatically manage the addition of new email address.

Prior to every campaign delivery, the list(s) will automatically update itself by executing the SQL Query or DNN Security Roles and adding any new email addresses.

Recipients

Mailing List

Each email campaign can be delivered to one or many mailing lists, DNN Security Roles, or emails from SQL Query. Duplicate Emails from various sources are automatically removed so each user only gets a single email message.

Optionally, send email to unsubscribed users (for extremely important emails) and include duplicate emails (for SQL queries where email body is different)

DNN Security Roles

Send email campaign to one or many DNN Security Roles. Use DNN Tokens to personalize the content

Manual Email Addresses

You can always copy & paste email addresses or type them one by one if required.
