[Vtigercrm-developers] Email marketing scenario

[Błażej Pabiszczak]

Let's put things in perspective - why does Vtiger need the "search"
tool? If a client wants to find something, he can get in touch with the
vendor and implement vlastic:
http://www.libertus.co.uk/images/documents/vlastic-manual.pdf. Everyone
looks for something else, why create a universal tool if you can
complicate your life and just add new mechanisms, libraries, closed
solutions. 

Vtiger is a crm class system and it should include hard-coded marketing
mechanisms! Even if its marketing mechanism isn't too extended it should
be integrated by default with a different ready-made solution, and the
data should be taken from this solution in the system, If it doesn't
have it [and it indeed doesn't] then Vtiger has as much to do with
marketing as Joomla does - which means nothing. But in Joomla we can add
everything we want, no matter the way.

Every other solution like SugarCRM, Vtiger[OD], SuiteCRM got all the
basic marketing mechanisms hard-coded, why won't Vtiger CE get them ...

What if you launch mailing from an external app, but you need all the mailing data in the crm itself; and when you convert from lead to an opportunity, then all the data gathered from mailing have to be in this opportunity, so that the sales person had all the data about the potential buyer.

It would require the development of an extension which becomes the adapter to talk to the API, but you wouldn't need to build a full blown mailing system and reinvent the wheel of something that other people have thought about for years already! Trust me, you are not gonna do it better then them, so why not use theirs?
