<h4>How are We Different?</h4>
Our first difference lies in the fact that we were our own first client. My wife, Lindsey, started <a href="https://thepostmansknock.com" rel="nofollow ugc">The Postman’s Knock</a> in 2013, and it has since grown to be the #1 online resource for learning calligraphy. Fast forward a few years to 2018, and we were stuck paying Mailchimp around $500 a month ($6,000 a year) to mail our list of 100,000 subscribers 3x per week. I projected our costs would rise to $8,500 by 2019, and $10,000 by 2020. In response to the rising costs, we developed Boldermail to meet our email marketing and automation needs, without sacrificing quality nor reliability. And we loved it so much that we knew we had to make it available to others. You can read more of our story <a href="https://www.boldermail.com/our-story" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a>.
Our second difference is that we do not use your WordPress server to deliver emails. Unlike other WordPress plugins, and similar to Mailchimp and MailerLite, a separate server does all of the heavy lifting for you! This ensures that your website does not get sluggish as it struggles to send emails to subscribers.

External Service Connection / Security
SureContact connects your WordPress site with our SaaS securely. When a user initiates a connection, they are redirected to the SaaS login page. Upon clicking Connect, the SaaS generates a short-lived, single-use token which is sent back to WordPress via a redirect. WordPress then verifies the token server-to-server before storing the access token and user data for future API calls. Tokens are time-limited (1–5 minutes), single-use, and encrypted in transit using HTTPS. This ensures secure authentication, prevents token reuse, and protects user data. No actions are taken by WordPress until token verification succeeds. The access token will be used to sync contact data from various sources including WordPress users, e-commerce platforms (SureCart, WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads), and form submissions (SureForms, WPForms, Contact Form 7) to your SureContact workspace. All privacy and data handling comply with WordPress.org Plugin Guidelines.
Privacy Policy
This plugin connects to the <a href="https://surecontact.com" rel="nofollow ugc">SureContact</a> service to sync contact data. See our <a href="https://surecontact.com/privacy-policy/" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a>

SureContact – Newsletters, Email Marketing, Automation, Revenue Tracking & CRM


Before using SureContact, I often worried about server performance and database loads caused by heavy cronjobs from traditional marketing plugins. Since making the switch, my server load has significantly decreased.



I currently use a single master list with a tag-driven architecture, integrating SureCart and SureTriggers to manage funnels and segmentation across my own site and a client project. The UI is highly intuitive, which drastically reduces the time spent on daily management. A major plus is that I no longer need to log into the WordPress backend for every single task.



What impresses me the most is the development team. During my intensive testing and implementation of automation workflows, they quickly fixed reported bugs and actively rolled out user-suggested features, such as the recent full custom domain support. It is a well-structured CRM solution with immense potential. Highly recommended for developers and site owners who value server performance and automation flexibility.


Excellent Performance and Highly Responsive Support Team
