Sync campaigns / sync (push) Successful in 19s
Matches the pattern already in place for the other domain repos: a short domain-specific README instead of the generic campaigns-template one (also fixing a stray "from" -> "from_email" field-name error), and a sample welcome campaign using the correct "cateconners-list" name from the start.

# cateconners-campaigns
|
|
|
|
cateconners.com's campaign content, synced to listmonk by [`eec-campaigns`](https://gitea.reground.org/will/eec-campaigns). This repo holds only campaign content and this domain's listmonk secrets — the tool itself is installed at a pinned version in CI.
|
|
|
|
## To send a campaign
|
|
|
|
1. Write `campaigns/<slug>/campaign.md` (frontmatter + Markdown body — see the [eec-campaigns README](https://gitea.reground.org/will/eec-campaigns#campaignmd) for the full field reference). Set `from_email: "Cate Conners <hello@cateconners.com>"` explicitly — there's no default, and sync rejects a campaign with no `from_email` at all. Mailcow's Sender ACL must allow that exact address for the send to go through rather than bounce as spoofing (see Sending as hello@cateconners.com below).
|
|
2. `git push` to `master` — CI syncs it into listmonk as a **draft** and emails a preview to `CAMPAIGNS_PREVIEW_EMAIL` (or the campaign's own `preview_emails`).
|
|
3. Check the preview inbox. Keep pushing edits until it looks right — each push re-syncs and re-previews.
|
|
4. When ready to actually send: `git tag send/<slug> && git push origin send/<slug>`. This is the one action that transitions the campaign from draft to running — a plain `git push` to master can never do it.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, run the `Send campaign` workflow manually from Gitea Actions with the slug as input — same effect as the tag push.
|
|
|
|
## Other workflows
|
|
|
|
- **`Test-send campaign`** (manual) — re-preview a campaign's current content to any address, without touching its status.
|
|
- **`Sync default campaign template`** (manual) — pushes `email-templates/campaign.html` into listmonk as the default campaign template. Run once after setup, and again whenever that file changes.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
Repo secrets (Gitea Actions → Secrets) are already set: `CAMPAIGNS_LISTMONK_BASE_URL`, `CAMPAIGNS_LISTMONK_API_USER`, `CAMPAIGNS_LISTMONK_API_TOKEN`, `CAMPAIGNS_PREVIEW_EMAIL` (`hello@cateconners.com`, also a confirmed subscriber on `cateconners-list` so test-sends have somewhere to go) — scoped to a dedicated `campaigns-cateconners` listmonk API user (see `reground-infrastructure`'s `campaigns-cateconners` Ansible role).
|
|
|
|
The workflows in `.gitea/workflows/` pin a specific `eec-campaigns` version (currently `v0.1.4`). Bump that pin deliberately when a new tool version is ready, not automatically.
|
|
|
|
## Sending as hello@cateconners.com
|
|
|
|
Listmonk sends everything — every domain's campaigns — authenticated as one shared identity, `hello@reground.org`. For a campaign here to actually go out `From: hello@cateconners.com` instead of bouncing as a spoofing attempt, Mailcow's Sender ACL on `hello@reground.org` has to explicitly allow it — confirm this is in place (see `reground-infrastructure`'s `campaigns-cateconners` role, which flags it as a manual step) before relying on a real send.
