Top features
Email Marketing
Drag-and-drop builder with mobile preview. A/B testing on subject line, content, or send time. Bounce + complaint handling integrated with sender reputation monitoring.
Marketing Automation flows
Branching workflows triggered by behavior, attribute, or date. Wait, branch, send-email, send-SMS, update-record, create-task — all atomic actions. Re-entry rules prevent loops.
SMS Marketing
Send SMS to opted-in contacts. Twilio integration for sending and inbound replies. SMS workflows triggered like email — including transactional notifications.
Events

Surveys
NPS, CSAT, post-event, custom surveys. Conditional logic on questions. Responses tie back to the contact record and trigger automation flows.

Segments combine demographic, firmographic, and behavioral signals. Live segments auto-refresh as contacts qualify or disqualify. Used across email + automation + reporting.

01Can Odoo Marketing replace Mailchimp or Klaviyo?
For most mid-market teams, yes. Odoo's email + automation + segmentation cover the same surface at no per-contact pricing tax. Klaviyo wins for DTC at very high scale (100K+ subscribers) with deep Shopify integration; Mailchimp wins for teams that want zero-config drag-and-drop with no ERP context. Odoo wins when you want marketing tied to sales orders and customer LTV.
02Does Odoo handle marketing automation flows like ActiveCampaign?
Yes. Branching workflows with wait, branch, send, update, and create actions. Re-entry rules prevent contacts looping. Trigger on behavior (page view, purchase, email open) or attribute change.
03Can we send transactional emails through Odoo Marketing?
Yes via SMTP routes configured separately from promotional. Order confirmations, password resets, and shipment notifications use a transactional sender with high deliverability priority. Promotional uses a marketing sender domain so reputation issues are isolated.
04How does Odoo handle deliverability and reputation?
DKIM, DMARC, SPF helpers built into setup. We deploy custom sender domains separate from your primary mail domain to isolate reputation. Bounce + complaint handling automated. Reputation alerts trigger before deliverability drops.
