Need Help Migrating to Mautic from Brevo - Help with Setup

Product Support
1

Hello everyone,

I’m in the process of migrating from Brevo to self-hosted Mautic and could really use some help with the following:

In Brevo, I used to:

  • Collect email addresses from my WP website and organize them into specific folders based on their location and purpose.
  • Automatically send a welcome email as soon as someone subscribed.
  • Send weekly email campaigns to contacts based on their folder.

However, I’m finding Mautic a bit confusing, especially with how to set this up.

Could anyone help me achieve something similar in Mautic?

Also, I need to connect Mautic with my SMTP provider (Amazon SES). Does anyone have any tutorial or documentation on how to do this?

Lastly, what are the essential cron jobs I need to set up to send and schedule emails in Mautic?

Your help will be much appreciated. Thank you!

Hey there,

For WP capturing leads, forms etc…:

  1. Create the form you want to host on your wordpress.
  2. Install the Mautic plugin for Wordpress and configure it to point to your mautic instance.
  3. Embed your form into the wordpress page you want it to show up
  4. Create the email you want as an auto responder, make sure you create this as a campaign/template mailers
  5. Create a campaign, open the builder and start the campaign with a form being submitted, then action send email and then choose your email.

Mautic uses segments instead of folders, and segments are very clever, they can be static or dynamic. There are so many ways to do what you want, maybe what i would do is give each new contact a tag (you can do this inside your original campaign above) and then create a segment with a filter based on tag includes.

Weekly mailer based on their folder, very similar, create segment, either create a campaign that will send out the emails or segment mailer and send to that segmetn.

PM me if you want to jump on a 30 minute call and i can show you how to do everything.
