The goodness keeps on coming. Beta 4 is available now and brings with it a couple of big features.

Support for Custom Post Types

Postmatic is nice for sending blog posts, but what  about new product notifications from Woocommerce? Or press releases? Now you can choose however many post types you want and Postmatic will send them out. We don’t yet support individual subscriber lists for individual post types but maybe we will in the future. That way you could have one group of subscribers you send blog posts to (yay grandma!) and another set of subscribers that just want to receive new FAQ posts. We’re still feeling out if there is demand for that… so let me know.

Subscriber Management

We’re introducing version 1 of our subscriber management system. From the native WordPress users screen you can now see which of your users are subscribed to which authors, discussions, or post types. This view should give you a better feel for your audience and also lays the groundwork for future enhancements.

We’ve yet to decide how to best handle user exports. There are already so many user export plugins available (most of which will work with Postmatic right out of the box) that we could just rely on them. Or maybe we write our own which only exports Postmatic data. Any thoughts on that?

Other Changes

There are some other little bugs taken care of in this release. You can read about them in the changelog on wordpress.org. Why the bear? Well. She’s cute. That’s all.
