What Is Mailyard Pro?

Mailyard Pro adds broadcast email to Mailyard: write an email in a visual editor, choose who receives it, and send. Track opens and clicks once it’s on its way.

Mailyard Pro is the paid campaigns tier of the free Mailyard plugin and requires it. The division of labor is simple: Mailyard owns delivery (Amazon SES, Postmark, Resend, Brevo, or SMTP, with smart failover), Mailyard Pro owns campaigns. The sender is inherited from Mailyard, broadcasts are routed on Mailyard’s marketing stream, and bounces reported by Mailyard automatically feed Pro’s suppression list.

Key features

  • Broadcast email — compose an email and send it to your subscribers in a clear, step-by-step flow: write, review, send.
  • Modern email editor — a fast, Notion-style writing surface with an optional AI writing assistant. See The Email Editor and AI Writing Assistant.
  • MJML rendering — emails render correctly in every email client: Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, mobile.
  • Reliable delivery via Mailyard — broadcasts go out through Mailyard (or any SMTP plugin) with provider failover; sending is disabled until a delivery route is connected, because plain PHP mail lands in spam.
  • Audience targeting — send to everyone, a group, or a saved segment; the previewed recipient count is exactly what gets sent. See Contacts, Groups, and Segments.
  • List hygiene — suppression list, automatic unsubscribe and bounce handling, and one-click unsubscribe (RFC 8058) keep your sender reputation clean.
  • Unlimited campaigns and subscribers — no contact limits, no send limits. Your only limit is your hosting and email provider.
  • Open & click tracking — see how each broadcast performed.
  • Subscriber management — CSV import with automatic column mapping, groups, search and filters.
  • Batch sending — large lists go out in batches via Action Scheduler for reliable delivery.
  • Brand settings and customizable footer — company name, address, logo, and unsubscribe links, all configurable.

One dashboard

With current free Mailyard, Mailyard Pro doesn’t add a second admin menu — Campaigns, Contacts, and Marketing settings live inside Mailyard’s own dashboard as a Marketing group, sharing the same look and feel.

Do I have to use Mailyard?

Yes — Mailyard Pro is Mailyard’s campaigns tier and requires the free plugin. Mailyard handles delivery, failover, and bounce reporting; Pro reads its configured sender and shows its active provider. There are no runtime license checks: features work whenever free Mailyard is active.

What happens to my data if I deactivate?

Your campaigns, contacts, and groups stay in the database — reactivate and everything is still there. Permanently removing all data is an explicit action, never a side effect.

Next steps

Install free Mailyard first (free download on WordPress.org) and connect your provider, then activate Mailyard Pro, run the short setup wizard, and send your first broadcast.
