Weekly Summary

Weekly summary email is a super helpful feature to get insights on how your articles are performing in terms of LIKES. So, you can focus on the content that is liked the most. Know your content better, now.
Here’s how the weekly summary email looks like:

Milestones Emails 🏆
You can also send an email when the Post or Comment reaches a milestone of LIKES. By default, the milestone number is 50, but you can set any milestone number. This section has similar options to the Post or Comments LIKE section above.

Customize the emails
Fully customize the email template of WP ULike emails. The options in the settings include:
- Enable HTML Email: An email can be sent in an HTML or plain text. For best experience, enable the HTML email. However, plain text emails are optimal for email deliverability.
- Background Color: Choose the background color of the email to match your brand.
- Border Color: Choose the border color. Default is none (white).
The email template as a whole can also be fully customized by modifying the template file. Learn how to edit the template file.

Send Emails Asynchronously

Sending emails asynchronously helps to process faster. When the like button is pressed, the emails are sent in the background making the processing faster and reducing the loading time. This feature is turned off by default, however, I recommend turning on this option for your site optimization. Asynchronous email sending can delay the email for low-traffic sites because the emails are only sent in the background on the next page load.
Smart Tags
You can write some cool smart tags in the Email Message as follows:
- {post_title} – The title of the liked post.
- {total_post_likes} – The total likes of the liked post.
- {post_link} – The URL of the liked post.
- {total_comment_likes} – The total likes of the liked comment.
- {comment} – The liked comment message.
- {post/comment} – Is it the post or comment getting a LIKE.
- {title} – The post or comment title.
- {milestone} – The milestone number of LIKES you configured.
