ListMonk is a self-hosted newsletter and mailing list manager designed to deliver exceptional performance and features, all packed into a single binary that is both free and open source. With the latest version recently released on 28 Oct 2024, ListMonk offers a wide array of functionalities that can benefit businesses looking to manage their subscriber lists effectively.
Features
One of the key features of ListMonk is its ability to manage millions of subscribers across multiple single and double opt-in one-way mailing lists. With custom JSON attributes for each subscriber, businesses can query and segment subscribers using SQL expressions. The tool also provides a fast bulk importer, HTTP/JSON APIs, and a simple table schema to integrate external CRMs and subscriber databases seamlessly.
In addition to managing subscriber lists, ListMonk offers a simple API for sending transactional messages to subscribers using pre-defined templates. Messages can be sent via email, SMS, Whatsapp messages, or any other medium through Messenger interfaces.
For businesses looking to track the performance of their campaigns, ListMonk provides simple analytics and visualizations. External visualization programs can be easily connected to the database, thanks to a simple table structure.
The tool also offers powerful templating capabilities, allowing businesses to create dynamic email templates using the Go templating language. Template expressions, logic, and over 100 functions can be used in subject lines and content. Emails can be written in HTML using a WYSIWYG editor, Markdown, raw syntax-highlighted HTML, or plain text.
When it comes to performance, ListMonk stands out with its multi-threaded, high-throughput, multi-SMTP email queues. With throughput and sliding window rate limiting for fine-grained control, businesses can ensure their campaigns reach subscribers efficiently. The tool is a single binary application with a nominal CPU and memory footprint that runs on any server with a Postgres (version 12 or higher) database.
ListMonk also offers a media manager, allowing users to upload images for email campaigns on the server’s filesystem, Amazon S3, or any S3-compatible backend. The tool is extensible, enabling businesses to connect HTTP webhooks to send SMS, Whatsapp, FCM notifications, or any other type of messages beyond email campaigns.
Furthermore, ListMonk prioritizes privacy by allowing subscribers to blocklist themselves permanently, export all their data, and wipe all their data with a single click.
Developers interested in contributing to ListMonk can access the free and open source software licensed under AGPLv3. The backend is written in Go, and the frontend is Vue with Buefy for UI, making it easy for developers to get involved.
For businesses seeking a comprehensive newsletter and mailing list manager with a focus on performance, flexibility, and privacy, ListMonk offers a robust solution.
