Can I send my newsletter campaigns with this plugin?

No, this is not a newsletter tool, it just makes your emails beautiful but doesn’t send custom ones.

How can I remove the gap at the header of my Contact Form 7 emails?

Go to your Contact Form 7 email settings and change email type from HTML to text. WP HTML Mail will take care of the HTML.

Can a customize the HTML code of the email header?

There’s a filter to change the header HTML code. Just add this to your (child-)themes functions.php:

add_filter('haet_mail_header', function( $header ){
    return 'hello <strong>world</strong>';
});

Of course you can display HTML code, not just text.

Can a customize the HTML code of the email footer?

There’s a filter to change the footer HTML code. Just add this to your (child-)themes functions.php:

add_filter('haet_mail_footer', function( $header ){
    return 'hello <strong>world</strong>';
});

Can I add custom CSS code to my WordPress emails?

You can add your own CSS code for desktop and mobile. Just add this example to your (child-)themes functions.php and customize it:

add_filter( 'haet_mail_css_desktop', function( $css ){
    $css .= '  
            h1{
                border-bottom: 2px solid green;
            }
        ';
    return $css;
});

add_filter( 'haet_mail_css_mobile', function( $css ){
    $css .= '  
            h1{
                background:red;
            }
        ';
    return $css;
});

How to disable the template for some emails?

Find anything all emails have in common. It may be the sender, a word in the subject or something in the email body.
Then add this function to your (child-)themes functions.php and customize it. Return TRUE if the template should be used and FALSE if not.

// return true if you want to use a template for current mail
// return false if you want to leave the content of this email unchanged
add_filter( 'haet_mail_use_template', 'customize_template_usage', 10, 2 );
function customize_template_usage( $use_template, $mail ){
    // $mail['to'] ...
    // $mail['subject'] ...
    // $mail['message'] ...
    // $mail['headers'] ...
    // $mail['attachments'] ...
    return true;
}

Reviews

Simple but effective!

18 de Noviembre, 2022
Thank you for this simple yet effective plugin! I had a bit of trouble to understand where to define the header image and was starting to think it was a premium option or so, but then I finally noticed the edit email header component when moving the mouse over the container. Also, the feature to download the template and edit the HTML and CSS directly is great. Well done!

Great plug-in

4 de Julio, 2022
After trying several plugins, this is definitely the go-to one if you want to apply consistent branding across all your transactional emails coming out of WordPress. Easy to use with really professional looking emails. A huge improvement over the standard WordPress design. Highly recommendable.
