Email tools charge per contact and know nothing about your site. The CES Email module sends from WordPress, uses the tags your popups, forms and WooCommerce orders already set, and reports opens, clicks, bounces and revenue on the contact record.
A chain started by a tag: welcome series, webinar follow-up, post-purchase, win-back.
A one-off send to a segment: newsletter, launch, sale.
The email a form sends to the submitter and to you, from the same templates.
Most sites send their first automated welcome email within fifteen minutes of installing.
Whether you send one newsletter a month or run post-purchase and win-back chains on order data, it is the same module.
Any form, popup, import or order can set the tag that starts a chain; any email can set the tag that starts the next one.
About the CES CRMBranch on opened, clicked, has tag or field value; chains as long as the journey needs.

Flexible options for individuals, businesses and agencies.
Choose your licence first, then your term.
Not for lists, campaigns or automations. You need a way to deliver mail: PHP mail or your own SMTP in Free, or one of the 10+ providers in Pro (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Zoho, Fastmail, SendGrid, Mailgun, Brevo, Postmark, SMTP2GO, Resend, Amazon SES).
Free chains have up to 4 steps with delays, dates and tag actions. Pro chains are unlimited and can branch on conditions such as opened, clicked, has tag or field value.
A tag is added to a contact — by a form submit, a popup form, a CSV import, a WooCommerce order, another automation or by hand. Every contact that earns the tag enters the chain.
Yes, per email and per contact, with optional tag actions on each event. You can disable tracking for Gmail recipients.
The Conversion Tracking API stores a token in the browser for 180 days when a contact clicks an email or a popup. A WooCommerce purchase within that window is attributed to it on the contact record.
Unsubscribe links are handled by the module. Bounces are processed from your IMAP mailbox in Free; providers report them in Pro.
None from the plugin. Volume is limited by your mail provider; the WP-Cron queue sends in batches every minute, only inside the hours you allow for the campaign.
Personal covers 1 site, Multi-site up to 5, Agency unlimited. All contain the same Pro with all four CES modules.
Yes — 30 days on every Pro license.
CES Email is built, used and supported by the same team as the rest of the system — the people who answer are the people who wrote the sending queue.
Install the free version, connect SMTP and build a welcome chain. Upgrade when you need conditions, longer chains or a transactional provider.
