covers.
Developers

relay.
Self-hosting
Install, run and upgrade Lekalao on your own servers.
What Lekalao does
Contacts
Contacts
Lists with double opt-in, subscribers enriched with attributes and
tags, segments built from conditions (tags, attributes, language,
opens, clicks, engagement…), CSV and Excel import and export, a
suppression list per team, and subscription forms to put on your own
site.
Content
Content
Four editors (visual blocks, Markdown, HTML, MJML), templates with
editable areas, personalisation variables with conditions and loops, a
team brand, a media library, saved blocks and translated versions in
every language.
Campaigns
Campaigns
Sending now or later, A/B tests of up to five versions, spreading the
send, each subscriber’s local time, detailed statistics (click map,
software, devices, countries, revenue) and campaigns created
automatically from an RSS feed.
Automations
Automations
Journeys triggered by a subscription, a tag, a date or an API call,
with waits, conditions, A/B splits, waiting for events, goals and early
exits.
Transactional e-mails
Transactional e-mails
Templates your applications call, a full log with resending, and three
ways to send them: the API, the Laravel transport or the SMTP relay.
Deliverability and compliance
Deliverability and compliance
SPF, DKIM and DMARC checks, your own tracking domain, bounce and
complaint handling, a campaign that goes wrong paused on its own, a
consent record, the right of access and the right to be forgotten.
