Description
Run your entire audience — email, push, and social — from one WordPress dashboard, with AI drafting built in.
Beacon Campaign Sender brings campaign management that usually takes three or four separate tools into a single plugin. Write once, let AI help you polish it in your own brand voice, and reach subscribers by email, mobile push, and social media — without copy-pasting between services or wiring up glue code.
Key features
- Email campaigns through Brevo — compose, preview, schedule, and send, with deliverability handled by Brevo’s API.
- Audience management & segmentation — organize contacts, sync Brevo lists, and target the right people.
- Mobile push notifications — deliver to devices through Firebase Cloud Messaging.
- Social publishing with Zernio — post to 12+ platforms from the same composer.
- AI-assisted drafting — generate and refine campaign content with the latest Claude (Opus 4.8, Sonnet 4.6) and OpenAI (GPT-5.5) models.
- Brand voice control — keep every AI draft sounding like you.
- Newsletter signup forms — drop a form on any page with a shortcode, or build your own with custom HTML.
- WordPress email routing (optional) — route all of your site’s
wp_mail()traffic through Brevo, replacing a separate SMTP plugin. - Privacy-friendly — subscriber and log data is stored locally and integrates with WordPress personal-data exporters and erasers.
One dashboard, every channel, no glue code — so you can spend your time on the message, not the plumbing.

FAQ
-
Does this plugin use external services?
-
Yes. Beacon Campaign Sender can connect to external services depending on which features you enable.
-
Which external services can Beacon Campaign Sender use?
-
Beacon Campaign Sender can integrate with:
- Brevo for email delivery, contact lists, and campaign data
- OpenAI for AI content generation
- Anthropic for AI content generation
- Firebase Cloud Messaging for push notification delivery
- Zernio for social publishing and webhook status updates
-
Does this plugin override `wp_mail()`?
-
It can, but only when an administrator enables the
WordPress Email Routingsetting. When that setting is active, WordPress core emails and emails sent by other plugins can be routed through Brevo instead of the site’s default mail transport. -
Will my SMTP plugin conflict?
-
No. Campaign emails are always sent directly to Brevo’s API and do not pass through
wp_mail(), so your SMTP plugin is never involved in campaign delivery. If you do not enableWordPress Email Routing, your SMTP plugin will continue to handle all other site email normally. If you do enableWordPress Email Routing, Beacon Campaign Sender will routewp_mail()traffic from WordPress core and other plugins through Brevo, in which case a separate SMTP plugin is no longer needed — please deactivate it to avoid conflicts. -
How do I add an email signup form to my site?
-
Add the shortcode
[bcsend_subscribe_form]to any page, post, or text/shortcode widget. The form collects an email address and consent, plus optional first and last name. New subscribers are added to the list(s) set in Beacon Campaign Sender > Settings > Default Subscriber Lists.If enabled (the default), the form works on any page via the shortcode or your own custom HTML. You can turn the entire signup feature off under Beacon Campaign Sender > Settings > Signup Forms, which also stops the submit script and form CSS from loading.
Optional shortcode attributes:
style— « card » (default) or « inline »show_names— « true » (default) or « false »button_text— custom submit button labellist_ids— comma-separated Brevo list IDs that override the default listclass— extra CSS class(es) added to the form wrapper for styling
-
How do I change the look of the signup form?
-
You have three options, from easiest to most flexible:
- Add CSS in Beacon Campaign Sender > Settings > Subscribe Form CSS. It applies to every subscribe form on the site, whether added by the shortcode or built as custom HTML, and is loaded after the built-in styles so your rules win. Scope rules to
.bcsend-subscribe-form(or a class you add with the shortcode’sclassattribute) so they do not affect the rest of the page. - Target the form’s class hooks from your theme stylesheet:
.bcsend-subscribe-form,.bcsend-subscribe-form-row,.bcsend-subscribe-form-consent,.bcsend-subscribe-form-fine-print, and.bcsend-subscribe-form-message. - Use the
[bcsend_subscribe_form style="inline" class="my-form"]attributes to drop most default styling and target your own class.
- Add CSS in Beacon Campaign Sender > Settings > Subscribe Form CSS. It applies to every subscribe form on the site, whether added by the shortcode or built as custom HTML, and is loaded after the built-in styles so your rules win. Scope rules to
-
Can I use my own HTML for the signup form?
-
Yes. The plugin’s submit script loads on every front-end page and handles any form that uses the expected markup, so you can build the form however you like. The required pieces are:
- The wrapper element has the class
bcsend-subscribe-form. - The wrapper has a
data-bcsend-rest-urlattribute pointing at the subscribe REST endpoint (/wp-json/beacon-campaign-sender/v1/subscribe). - An
emailinput and aconsentcheckbox.
Optional fields are
first_name,last_name,list_ids(a hidden input; falls back to the default lists when empty), ahoneypotanti-spam field, and a.bcsend-subscribe-form-messageelement for status messages. A ready-to-copy snippet is shown under Beacon Campaign Sender > Settings > Embed in Custom HTML. - The wrapper element has the class

Journal des modifications
1.0.4
- Added an « Enable signup forms » setting (on by default). When unchecked, the [bcsend_subscribe_form] shortcode renders nothing, the submit script and form CSS no longer load, and the subscribe endpoint rejects submissions.
1.0.3
- Documented the public subscribe form: added the [bcsend_subscribe_form] shortcode usage to the readme and the Settings screen.
- Added a « class » shortcode attribute for adding custom CSS classes to the form wrapper.
- Added a « Subscribe Form CSS » setting that is applied after the default styles for easy restyling.
- The subscribe submit handler now loads on all front-end pages, so custom HTML forms using the documented markup work without the shortcode. Added an « Embed in Custom HTML » reference snippet to Settings.
- Updated the selectable Anthropic models to the current lineup: added Claude Opus 4.8 and Opus 4.7, kept Sonnet 4.6 (recommended) and Haiku 4.5, and marked Opus 4.6 as legacy.
- Subscribe Form CSS now also loads on pages that use only custom HTML forms, not just shortcode pages.
- The subscribe form status message no longer clears custom classes on submit; only the is-success and is-error state classes are toggled.
- Added GPT-5.5 to the OpenAI model choices and removed GPT-4.1 mini.
1.0.2
- Reply-To moved from the campaign composer to plugin Settings, with optional per-campaign override available to automations.
- Added « Sync Brevo Lists » button to the Audiences screen and « Regenerate HTML » button to the campaign composer.

- Shortened the readme short description to meet the WordPress.org 150-character limit.
1.0.1
- Keeps the Abilities Bridge integration card visible for discoverability and populates abilities only after the Bridge integration setting is enabled.
