SmartMail turns your OpenCart 4 store into a serious email hub: you design branded transactional and marketing messages, automate them around real customer actions, and optionally let AI draft or polish copy—without leaving the admin.

Who it helps

• Store owners — One place for order, account, and promo emails; fewer “forgot to send” moments and more consistent branding.
  
• Marketers — Campaigns and broadcasts to customer groups, optional scheduling, plus logs to see what went out.
  
• Developers / agencies — Event-based hooks, merge variables, and optional custom AI endpoint for advanced setups.
  

Templates & design

• Rich editor + HTML source — Write in the visual editor or switch to HTML when you need control.
  
• Branded layout — Global colours, logo, layout width, and section styles (header, body, footer) so every mail matches your store.
  
• Live preview — Check subject line and layout with placeholder data before customers see anything.
  
• Customer groups — Target “all customers” or a specific group; SmartMail picks the best match when several templates share the same event.
  
• Starter pack — Ready-made templates (e.g. order, shipping-style, welcome, promotion, password reset) so you are not starting from a blank page.
  

Merge variables & personalisation
Insert dynamic fields such as {customer_name}, {order_id}, {product_list}, {total_amount}, {store_name}, {store_logo}, {store_address}, {account_url}, and more—so every email feels personal and accurate.

Transactional automation (built-in events)
SmartMail listens to OpenCart and sends when the right template exists and the module is enabled—for example:

• Order activity — When order status history is added, use templates tied to order_confirmation-style flows (tune on staging first to match your workflow).
  
• New account — Welcome mail for new registrations (welcome_email).
  
• Password changed — Security-style notification (password_reset).
  

Campaigns & broadcast

• Campaigns — Send a chosen template to selected audiences; schedule sends and process them with a simple cron task.
  
• Broadcast — Push a template to many recipients from the admin when you need an immediate blast.
  

Automation rules
Map event codes to specific templates with sort order—ideal when you run A/B style tests or multiple journeys for the same type of event.

AI-assisted copy (optional)
Connect OpenAI, Google Gemini, or a custom HTTPS API. Generate or improve subject and body from the template editor, with controls for tone and brief—perfect for faster drafts; you stay in control of final text.

Logs
Review recent sends (status, recipient, subject) to troubleshoot SMTP issues or confirm that campaigns ran.

Requirements
OpenCart 4.x, PHP 8.0+, curl (for AI). Outbound mail uses your normal OpenCart mail settings.
