Email marketing

Newsletters and announcements, priced per email sent.

Send newsletters, product announcements and customer updates to the people who asked for them. Grow your list with sign-up forms, design in the drag-and-drop builder, schedule the send and see who opened and clicked. On Magpie Cloud you pay for the emails you send, not for the contacts you keep.

Drag blocks into place, personalise with contact fields, and preview on desktop and mobile.

Your list

Grow a list, then write to it.

Sign-up forms

Build a form, paste its embed code into your site, and new sign-ups join the list you choose. A welcome email can follow a few minutes later.

Sign-up API

Already have a form? Post the email and name to the sign-up API with a key made in Settings.

Import

Bring existing contacts in from a CSV or Excel file, or paste them. Anyone who has opted out is skipped.

Drag-and-drop builder

21 block types, from text and buttons to product grids, article cards and a survey question people answer in the email.

Starter designs

Start from an editorial newsletter, link digest, product drop or sale announcement, or from a template you saved.

Personalised

Add first names, company and your own custom contact fields to the subject, preview text and body.

How it works

From a draft to results.

  1. Set it up

    Name the campaign, pick a sender and a list, and write the subject and preview text.

  2. Design

    Use the builder, start from a design, or paste your own HTML.

  3. Test and schedule

    Preview it as one of your contacts, send yourself a test, then send now or pick a date and time.

  4. Read the results

    Deliveries, bounces, opens, clicks per link, unsubscribes and spam complaints, with export.

Pricing

Pay for sending, not for your list.

On Magpie Cloud, emails cost £0.15 per 1,000, and plans start at £10 a month in total. Self-hosted, MagpieCRM is free and you pay your own email provider.

List hygiene

Unsubscribes and bounces, handled.

Every recipient gets their own unsubscribe link, and mail apps can show their own Unsubscribe button. People who unsubscribe, complain or hard-bounce aren't emailed again, even if you import them later.

  • Only subscribed contacts on the list receive a campaign
  • A soft bounce only affects that campaign
  • Open tracking can be turned off per campaign
  • Clicks and opens from email security scanners are filtered out

Not yet

What it doesn't do yet.

MagpieCRM is early access software, at version 0.9.23. So you know before you start:

  • There are no automated flows or sequences yet. A form's welcome email is the only email sent on its own.
  • A campaign goes to one list.
  • There's no A/B testing of subject lines or content.
  • The sign-up API always adds people to the default list.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How is email marketing priced on Magpie Cloud?

Per email sent, at £0.15 per 1,000. You choose a monthly allowance of emails, and plans start at £10 a month in total. There are no per-contact tiers and no per-seat fees.

Can I move my list from another email tool?

Yes. Export your contacts to a CSV or Excel file and import it into a list, mapping columns to email, first name, last name, company and job title. There's no direct import from other tools yet.

Can I use my own HTML?

Yes. Paste your HTML into the campaign instead of using the builder. Merge tags and the unsubscribe link work the same way.

Which email providers can I use when self-hosting?

Resend, Amazon SES, Postmark, SendGrid, Mailgun, Brevo, Mailchimp Transactional, Cloudflare, or any SMTP server. You pay the provider directly.
