Unlock the full potential of your gamification strategy by sending highly relevant, automated communications to your users exactly when they earn them. GamiPress – Conditional Emails bridges the gap between your gamified achievements and your user engagement strategy, allowing you to trigger personalized email notifications based on specific GamiPress events. Whether you want to celebrate a milestone, nudge a user toward their next rank, or provide immediate feedback on a completed quest, this plugin ensures your community stays informed, motivated, and deeply connected to your platform.
Key Features
- Event-Driven Triggers: Automatically send emails the moment a user earns an achievement, reaches a new rank, or gains/loses a specific amount of points.
- Dynamic Placeholders: Personalize your messages using a wide array of built-in placeholders, allowing you to insert user names, achievement titles, current point balances, and rank names directly into the email body.
- Conditional Logic: Fine-tune your engagement by setting specific conditions, ensuring that emails are only sent when users meet exact criteria, preventing inbox clutter and increasing relevance.
- Customizable Email Templates: Take full control over your branding by customizing the subject line and content of every automated email, ensuring your messages match your site’s voice and tone.

Use Cases and Who It’s For
GamiPress – Conditional Emails is an essential tool for any site administrator looking to increase user retention and platform activity. If you run a community site, an educational platform, or an e-commerce store using gamification, this plugin helps you build a feedback loop that keeps users coming back.
For community managers, it serves as a powerful recognition tool. When a user earns a “Top Contributor” badge, an automated email can be sent to congratulate them, reinforcing positive behavior and encouraging others to strive for the same status. For e-commerce store owners, it acts as a subtle marketing engine; you can trigger an email when a user earns enough points for a discount, reminding them to return to the shop and redeem their reward before it expires.
This plugin is also ideal for educators and course creators. You can set up automated notifications that trigger when a student completes a specific module, providing them with immediate encouragement and a clear path toward the next lesson. By automating these touchpoints, you save time while ensuring that no user achievement goes unnoticed, effectively turning passive users into active, engaged community members.

Getting started with GamiPress – Conditional Emails is designed to be intuitive, allowing you to launch your automated email campaigns in minutes:

Similar Plugins
While GamiPress – Conditional Emails is the native solution for the GamiPress ecosystem, other options exist for general WordPress email automation that can occasionally be integrated with gamification plugins through webhooks or custom development. These include AutomatorWP, which offers a broader range of automation triggers across various WordPress plugins, and Uncanny Automator, which provides extensive connectivity between different WordPress tools and external applications. However, for users specifically seeking a streamlined, dedicated solution for GamiPress events, the Conditional Emails add-on remains the most direct and lightweight choice.
