Excellent plugin and outstanding support.

The plugin works exactly as expected and solves a very specific WooCommerce email workflow perfectly.What really stands out is the WPFactory support team — responsive, friendly, and genuinely helpful.

Very useful and great support

Support made a new version of the plugin within a few days for a bug we experienced.The plugin itself is very powerful for custom mails and (marketing) automation within Woocommerce.

Wow! So impressed! Custom emails for Woocommerce

I have searched high and low for a way to send just one additional email from WooCommerce! I installed it and it worked! First time! I am so very grateful. Thank you so much!

Email on new pending review article

Great plugin. I wonder if it is possible to notify just editor on new article waiting for review. I refer to articles which have not been published yet and need to be checked by editor first.
