FAQ

Mailjet is an all-in-one solution to send, track and deliver both marketing and transactional emails. Its cloud-based infrastructure is unique and highly scalable with a proprietary technology that optimizes email deliverability. Mailjet can be accessed either via an easy-to-use online drag-and-drop interface or via APIs that allow developers to integrate its features within their online app or service, or its sophisticated SMTP relay.

You need to have a php file with your custom template uploaded to your WordPress server. Then add the following code to your template functions.php file.

/**  * Replace default Mailjet Thank You page template path with a your own  * @param string $templatePath - the path of the default Mailjet Thank You page template  * @return string  */  add_filter( 'mailjet_thank_you_page_template', 'updateThankYouPagePath' ); function updateThankYouPagePath($templatePath) {     return './custom_thank_you_page_path.php'; }

You need to have a php file with your custom template uploaded to your WordPress server. Then add the following code to your template functions.php file.

/**  * Replace default Mailjet widget form file with your own  * @param string $templatePath - the path of the default Mailjet widget form file  * @return string  */  add_filter( 'mailjet_widget_form_filename', 'useMailjetCustomWidgetFormTemplate' ); function useMailjetCustomWidgetFormTemplate($templatePath) {     return './custom_mailjet_widget_template.php'; }

Mailjet allows you to take full advantage of the template language when using Mailjet’s SMTP relay. For more info see this guide. Add the following code to your template functions.php file.

/**
* Use SMTP headers to send emails with a specific transactional template
* and leverage templating language to supply dynamic content to the template
*/

add_filter('wp_mail', 'my_wp_mail', 99); function my_wp_mail($args) {     /* Provide the transac template id */     $args['headers'] .= 'X-MJ-TemplateID:123456' . "\r\n";     /* Enable templating language */     $args['headers'] .= 'X-MJ-TemplateLanguage:1' . "\r\n";     /* Send template errors to this recipient */     $args['headers'] .= 'X-MJ-TemplateErrorReporting:[email protected]' . "\r\n";     /* Send data to the template. The vars must be defined in the template in order to accept data */     $args['headers'] .= 'X-MJ-Vars:' .         json_encode(             array(                 "var1" => $args['subject'],                  "var2" => ($recipient->first_name) ? $recipient->first_name : false,                  "var3" => $args['message']             )         )           . "\r\n";     return $args; }

Before pushing any new changes, make sure you run the following command. It will remove unneeded .git directories from vendors =
