Keila 0.8: Revamped UI, Segmentation, Custom Contact Data, API

It’s been a while since I posted an update about Keila here, but that’s only because I forgot to update this post

Since 0.5, there have been tons of improvements to Keila, some of the most notable changes are:

• Completely revamped UI and dashboard
• Contact segmentation
• Custom data for contacts
• REST API for managing Contacts, Campaigns, Segments

There are also some neat improvements for people running their own Keila instance

• Login-as feature for admins
• Automated bounce handling with SES
• Improved official Docker image
• Running Keila in a subdirectory

And of course Keila has also been upgraded to Phoenix 1.6 and is now using heex templates exclusively

Keila 0.15: MJML Support, Double Opt-In

MJML Support

This release includes full support for creating emails with MJML. Currently, I’ve integrated a code editor (based on Codemirror) and a live preview with LiveView. Rendering MJML is done via the mjml package which uses the Rust implementation of MJML (mrml).

Custom Signup Fields

You can now configure custom fields in the Keila Form Builder. This was an interesting feature to build, because I wanted to be able to use Ecto for validating the custom fields, but Ecto doesn’t support string keys (only atom keys). That’s why I ended up building an EctoStringMap module which allows casting params into a map with dynamically defined string keys. Check it out here: keila/lib/keila/contacts/ecto_string_map.ex at eabf9b3896ab17d38f1c253c95dcb1699c3637a9 · pentacent/keila · GitHub

Double Opt-In

Keila now has support for double opt-in which requires users to verify their email when they sign up.
