Easy Digital Downloads Product Updates 1.2.7

Easy Digital Downloads Product Updates is a WordPress plugin for Easy Digital Downloads stores that want to notify customers when a product is updated. Instead of resending purchase receipts and confusing buyers, it sends a dedicated update email with fresh download links for the newly changed files.

It uses Easy Digital Downloads email tags to personalize the message, supports license-aware delivery via the Software Licensing extension, and includes batching, previews, and test emails to help you plan updates confidently. A complete unsubscribe system keeps communications user-controlled while maintaining clear customer history logs.

Main Features

• Personalized update emails — Sends tailored emails specifically for updated products.
• Separate message from receipts — Keeps update communication distinct from Easy Digital Downloads purchase receipts.
• {updated_products} and {updated_products_links} tags — Automatically lists updated products and includes downloadable links.
• Template-ready {unsubscribe_link} — Inserts an opt-out link directly into update emails.
• {unsubscribe} opt-out handling — Provides a clear unsubscribe action that can be reversed.
• Complete unsubscribe/resubscribe system — Lets customers opt out (and back in) with a single button flow; admins can toggle from payment history.
• Batch sending with progress UI — Breaks emails into batches and sends in the background to reduce timeout risk.
• Email management and scheduling — Edit drafts and view queued, sent, and cancelled emails from the WordPress dashboard.
• Preview and test emails — Confirms tag output before sending, and sends tests to up to five addresses.
• Software Licensing integration — Sends update emails only to customers with an active license key.
