Dispatch Pro Documentation

M Media Dispatch Pro is the premium self-hosted email marketing plugin for WordPress — everything in Core, plus a visual drag-and-drop email builder, customizable transactional email templates, CSV import/export, and advanced campaign controls.

Build and send professional campaigns without a third-party platform. Dispatch Pro puts full control — design, sending, compliance, and subscriber data — on your own server. Looking for the free version? See Dispatch Core documentation →

What you’ll do with Dispatch Pro

  • Design campaigns visually with a drag-and-drop builder (GrapesJS) or use Template Mode / Raw HTML
  • Customize transactional emails — edit confirmation, welcome, and unsubscribe messages using the same visual builder
  • Collect subscribers using a shortcode form with double opt-in protection
  • Import and export your subscriber list via CSV
  • Send safely with rate limits, queueing, pause/resume, and automatic retries
  • Configure SMTP inside Dispatch — no extra SMTP plugin required
  • Stay compliant with one-click unsubscribe and CAN-SPAM footer

Built by People Who Actually Use the Software

M Media software isn't venture-funded, trend-chasing, or built to look good in pitch decks. It's built by developers who run their own servers, ship their own products, and rely on these tools every day.

That means fewer abstractions, fewer dependencies, and fewer "coming soon" promises. Our software exists because we needed it to exist — to automate real work, solve real problems, and keep systems running without babysitting.

We build software the way it used to be built: practical, durable, and accountable. If a feature doesn't save time, reduce friction, or make something more reliable, it doesn't ship.

✓ Every feature solves a problem we actually had
✓ No investor timelines forcing half-baked releases
✓ Updates add value, not just version numbers
✓ Documentation written by people who got stuck first

This is software designed to stay installed — not be replaced next quarter.

✓ Real Technical Support

Support From People Who Understand the Code

Ever contact support and immediately know you're talking to someone reading a script? Someone who's never actually used the product? Yeah, we hate that too.

M Media support means talking to developers who wrote the code, understand the edge cases, and have probably hit the same problem you're dealing with. No ticket escalation theatrics. No "have you tried restarting?" when your question is clearly technical.

Documentation written by people who got stuck first. Support from people who fixed it.

We don't outsource support to the lowest bidder or train AI on canned responses. When you ask a question, you get an answer from someone who can actually read the logs, check the source code, and explain what's happening under the hood.

✓ Real troubleshooting, not corporate scripts
✓ Documentation that assumes you're competent
✓ Email support that doesn't auto-close tickets
✓ Updates based on actual user feedback
