Introduction

Triton is a server based application for sending transactional and newsletter emails. Think of it as self hosted alternative to Mailchimp and Mandrill.

Features

• Templating

  Templating couldn’t be any more pliable. Forget about limited merging tags. Triton uses Blade templating engine so you can use Blade or even raw PHP syntax! Variables, loops, conditions, inheritance, custom functions and whatever you want from the box. Of course Triton has built in CSS inliner and other tools for working with email-specific HTML.

• Data contracts

  With strict protocol you will always be sure your templates are always rendered in consistent context, with all needed variables. Also contracts will help you compose and test templates thanks to variable hinting.

• Transactional emails

  Use triggers to setup reactions on your app’s events. Set custom HTTP-headers, define custom variables and switch triggers off when needed. Use dynamic subjects for more flexibility. Subjects also are Blade-templates, so you are limited only by your imagination!

• Newsletter emails

  We call it campaigns. Schedule them or run immediately. You can control sending process like an audio player (play\pause\stop) without worries that the given recipient will receive same email twice.

• Tracking & Stats

  Use tracking categories to manage statistic flows. You can accumulate stats from different triggers or campaigns into single tracking category. Sent & Opened metrics are captured by each recipient.

• Groups

  Everything (templates,triggers,campaigns etc) may be organized into groups for easy management.

• Recipient lists

  Import recipients from external CSV files or add them manually right from dashboard. You can create custom columns that will be available as variables within template.

• Multi transport

  Configure and use multiple SMTP transport. Each trigger or campaign may be configured to use custom transport.

Why Triton?

• Self hosted

  There are lots of SaaS email applications such as Mandrill or SendinBlue. They have different features and pricing. The main disadvantage is that you have to host your inventory at third-party service. With self hosted solution you have full control of your emails ecosystem.
