常见问题:
Can I send unlimited messages?
Yes, there is no limitation. However you'd better not set more than one email to be sent at the same number of days after user registration.
Can I send emails through SMTP?
Yes. Just install any of the available free SMTP plugins for WordPress. We recommend WP Mail SMTP, Postman SMTP or Easy WP SMTP. Arigato will automatically send all its emails through it. No settings are required in Arigato for this. When your WordPress emails are sent through an SMTP plugin, Arigato emails will be sent through it as well. This is because Arigato routes its emails through the default WordPress mail() funciton. If you already use an SMTP plugin on your site, Arigato will use it automatically.
Is there an unsubscribe link?
Yes, an unsubscribe link is automatically added to every outgoing message.
What to do if it doesn't send emails?
Please install a plugin like WP Mail SMTP or Easy WP SMTP and try to send a test email. If the test email isn't received, it means the problem is not in the autoresponder and you should talk to your hosting support.
Are there any limits to how many emails can be sent?
The autoresponder itself does not impose any limits, but your hosting company probably does. If you plan to have large mailing list, you will need the pro version because it lets you fine-tune the number of emails sent to comply with your hosting company limitations.
Is this plugin GDPR compliant?
Arigato is just a tool and has a lot less to do with GDPR compliance than the way you use it. The plugin has always provided the necessary functions: there is unsubscribe link attached to every message so the users can delete their data. There is double opt-in feature which you can (and should) use. We have hooked a personal data eraser to the WordPress personal data eraser tool. From then on, compliance depends on how you use the plugin:
- Be clear what the users are subscribing to and don't send them anything else.
- Use the double opt-in feature.
- Never remove the unsubscribe link.
- Never provide your mailing list to someone else.
- The above information is not a legal advice and is not meant to be a complete GDPR guide. You should do your own research and decide what you can and can not use.
How to change the text of the subscribe button or any other text generated by the plugin
You can change any texts using Loco Translate
How to change the design of the signup form?
You can change the form design using CSS. If you want to do more changes, reorder the fields, etc, you can use the HTML form code and change it directly.
