## FAQ

### It doesn’t work!

Don’t worry (probably) I can solve the problem. Kindly [contact me](https://www.satollo.net/about)
with as many information as possible (logs, screenshots, and so on).

### I don’t understand this or that

Kindly [contact me](https://www.satollo.net/about) so I can help and update the 
documentation.

### No emails are sent

If the blog can send emails (for example the password recovery email), try to empty
the sender name and email on the plugin settings.

Don’t use email addresses like @gmail.com, @yahoo.com, …, since your server is not
allowed to send in behalf of those providers.

If you’re using an SMTP plugin, run some tests from that plugin.

Install [WP Mail Logging](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mail-logging/) to check
if emails are generated.

### Delayed emails are not sent in time

A few hours of tolerance is acceptable if your blog has not enough traffic and no
custom scheduler trigger has been setup: the internal WP scheduler depends on those
factors.

Check the Tools/Site Health panel for warning like „a job has failed to start“ and
contact the provider to
 deal with the problem and setup a cron trigger for WP (
there is a lot of literature about this issue, they know what it means).

Install [WP Crontrol](https://wordpress.com/plugins/wp-crontrol/) to check the status
of the WordPress scheduler.

### Emails do not look good on Outlook, Gmail, …

I do my best to create fully compatible emails, but clients, especially Outlook 
and Gmail used to read non
 Google mail accounts, have a lot of limitation. Anyway,
send us a screenshot using my [contact page](https://www.satollo.net/about), we’re
more than happy to check and solve the problem, is possible.

### Is there a text part for emails?

No, currently emails are only in HTML.

### Why the composer is so simple?

In my option a welcome email needs to be simple and clear, easy readable on mobile
devices and with immediate calls to action.
 And… is was extracted from the original
project I’ve no resources to make it more complex right now (smile).

### Can users unsubscribe from emails?

No, this is not a mail marketing or newsletter system, but a small series of transactional
emails you want to send after a user action.
 In other words, that is not a service
to which one can decide to subscribe or unsubscribe (anyway I’m open to discuss 
a possible evolution).

### Is it possible to track opens and clicks?

No, this feature is not present.

### Are there API to integrate this plugin with others?

Right now there are no official API, but I have plans to add API to register custom
events and
 probably custom composer blocks.
