Storyflow Alertsv1.0.4

This plugin adds email notification functionality to sites using the Fictioneer theme. It is designed for fiction site owners and authors who want to keep their audience informed about new chapters, stories, or blog posts directly via email, helping to drive repeat visits. Readers can subscribe to updates without needing an account, choosing the specific content they want to follow.

• Granular Subscription Scopes: Subscribers can choose to receive notifications for all new content, specific post types, individual stories, or even particular authors and tags. This ensures readers only get updates they care about.
• Aggregated Email Digests: To prevent inbox clutter, the plugin bundles multiple updates into a single email. This reduces the total number of emails sent and improves deliverability.
• Manual Send Control: Notifications are sent manually from the admin panel with a single click, giving the site owner complete control over the timing and content of each broadcast. This avoids issues with unreliable automated cron jobs.
• Customizable Email Templates: The appearance and subject line of notification emails can be fully customized using a template and token system. You can design the email layout and include dynamic content like post titles and excerpts.
• Integrated with MailerSend: The plugin uses the MailerSend service for reliable email delivery, which includes a free tier suitable for many small to medium sites. Setup involves adding your domain and API key in the plugin settings.
