Entry Mailing
| Version | Released | Type | License |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.2.3 | 2010-03-19 | Extensions | Commercial (?) |
The Entry Mailing extension builds a bridge between ExpressionEngine’s Publish- and the Communicate-Tab.
It allows you to easily send notifications of new weblog entries to custom recipient lists, member groups and / or mailing lists (managed by ExpressionEngine’s Mailing List Module).
This is done by setting up “templates” for the Communicate-Page. The extension not only allows you to predefine all settings in advance but also to use weblog fields inside your message-texts. Since version 1.1 you can even use a regular ExpressionEngine template to build your message giving you the full power of EEs template engine.The actual mailing is processed 100% by ExpressionEngine’s native mail handling routine.
This offers a wide range of uses like:
- simple notifications
- mailing partial or complete weblog entries
- using a dedicated weblog to compose your newsletter, having it mailed to your mailing list and use the weblog to output the newsletter archive on your site
- ...
To understand what it does and how it works you might want to watch the screencast on the documentation pages.
Commercial means you need to purchase a license in order to obtain and use the addon.

Yes, thanks for the quick fix. It works great. This works really well with the flexibility for total template control.

I think it’s working but I notice it is giving an error on the communications page when loading with entry data using the extension:
Notice: Undefined variable: base in /path_to/system/extensions/ext.entry_mailing.php on line 1488

Terrific! I watched the video but it didn’t cover that part. Just submitted an order for it. Thanks for the quick response.

Yes, you can do this. It is outlined
here.
You can pretty much pull anything in there by using a regular template.
Just make sure to use dynamic=“off” for all weblog:entries-tags that don’t deal with the entry that is used to initiate the mailing.
