Use Cases and Who It’s For

This addon is built for anyone looking to grow their business through email marketing without the technical headache of manual list management. If you are a small business owner, you can use it to automatically add customers to a “Newsletter” list the moment they make an inquiry through your contact form. Content creators and bloggers can leverage it to turn casual site visitors into loyal subscribers by adding a “Subscribe to my updates” checkbox to their comment forms or sign-up pages.
