I am proud to announce a major upgrade to JangoMail's web database connectivity options. Now, you can connect to *any* web/database platform -- really, any! In the past JangoMail has supported four specific platforms:
ASP / Microsoft Access
ASP / SQL Server
ASP / ODBC Connected Database
PHP / MySQL
Each platform required a script file, provided by JangoMail, that would need to be placed on your web server. This left ASP.Net sites, JSP sites, Perl sites, and Ruby on Rails sites on the sidelines. Now you can connect JangoMail to virtually any web/database platform by writing your own script file. In addition, we've provided an ASP.Net template file that can be used for most .Net platforms that connect to SQL Server. More information about connecting to an ASP.Net/SQL Server instance can be found here. What can you accomplish by connecting to your web/database platform?
Real-time data connection: JangoMail can pull email list data in real-time from your database, eliminating the need to export data out of your database and import into JangoMail. You don't need to know how to use our API either.
On the fly dynamic email creation: If you create a Master Connection Profile, you can create dynamic email campaigns on the fly using the API method SendMassEmail, specifying a SQL query as the recipient list. JangoMail executes the SQL query against your database, pulls down the recipient data, and sends the email campaign.
Synchronization: Sync up unsubscribes, bounces, opens, clicks, web page views, and forward-to-friends in real-time with your central database.
How do I get started?
You can begin with our PDF tutorial on connecting to web databases. Decide if you will be using an inherent platform, such as one of the four listed above, or ASP.Net, or writing your own script file.
