Send email blasts, schedule automated Newsletter drip campaigns, manage subscriber lists, and track campaign analytics with the COMPASS suite.
== Description ==
Xophz Bomb Bag News Drip is an email marketing and automated drip sequence system engineered for WordPress and the COMPASS platform. It provides broadcast campaign management, subscriber list segmentation, automated drip sequences, real-time open/click engagement analytics, reusable visual email templates, and suppression list filtering.
Key Features
- Broadcast Campaigns: Compose rich HTML emails, test deliverability with 1-click test sends, queue immediate blasts, or schedule campaigns for future automated dispatch.
- Automated Drip Sequences: Build multi-step nurture funnels with custom trigger conditions (list subscription, manual, tag assignment), step-by-step delays, and sequence-level engagement analytics.
- Audience Segmentation & Lead Scoring: Group contacts with custom lists, visual tag chips, and lead temperature indicators (Hot, Warm, Cold).
- Suppression Lists: Protect deliverability by designating lists as exclusion/suppression targets to automatically bypass unsubscribed or sensitive addresses.
- List Merging & Duplication: Easily consolidate subscriber lists with optional source deletion or clone audiences with subscriber cloning.
- Batch Operations: Multi-row selection bar supporting batch tagging, list assignment/removal, status updates, client-side CSV export, and bulk deletion.
- Flexible Import & Sync: CSV import with visual column header mapping, custom field detection, and WordPress user directory synchronization.
- Multi-Provider Dispatch Engine: Native integration with WordPress
wp_mail(), SendGrid HTTP API, Mailgun HTTP API, or custom SMTP configurations. - Real-time Analytics: Built-in 1x1 transparent tracking pixel for open tracking, link redirect rewriting for click tracking, and compliant one-click unsubscribe links.
== Installation ==
- Upload the
xophz-compass-bomb-bagfolder to your/wp-content/plugins/directory. - Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress or via WP-CLI (
wp plugin activate xophz-compass-bomb-bag). - Configure your outbound email delivery credentials under COMPASS > Bomb Bag > Settings (or via WordPress Connectors API).
- Access the Bomb Bag dashboard directly within the COMPASS SPA interface or via REST API.
== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= How are scheduled campaigns and drip emails dispatched? =
Bomb Bag registers background WP-Cron intervals. A 5-minute task checks for scheduled broadcast campaigns and queues them for delivery, while an hourly job evaluates pending drip sequence steps and dispatches due emails in configurable batches (default: 50 emails per batch).
= Which email delivery providers are supported? =
Bomb Bag supports:
- Standard WordPress Mail (
wp_mail) - SendGrid (HTTP API with Bearer Token)
- Mailgun (HTTP API with Basic Auth and domain routing)
- Custom SMTP via PHPMailer hook
= How do suppression lists work? =
When creating or editing a list, check the "Suppression List" option. Any subscribers present on an active suppression list are automatically filtered out during campaign batch queuing, ensuring they never receive broadcast emails.
== REST API Endpoints ==
Bomb Bag provides a REST API namespace under /wp-json/xophz-compass/v1/bomb-bag/:
GET /stats- Overall statistics and metricsGET /campaigns,POST /campaigns- List and create campaignsPOST /campaigns/:id/send- Queue campaign for immediate batch sendingPOST /campaigns/:id/schedule- Schedule campaign for future dispatchGET /subscribers,POST /subscribers- Subscriber managementPOST /subscribers/import- CSV subscriber ingestionGET /lists,POST /lists- List managementPOST /lists/:id/merge,POST /lists/:id/duplicate- List merge and cloneGET /drips,POST /drips- Drip sequence pipelinesGET /templates,POST /templates- Reusable email layout templates
