Mautic Marketing Automation Platform

This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for cloudimg support services.

## Overview

Mautic is the leading open source marketing automation platform, backed by a global community of over 200,000 organizations. Marketing teams use it to capture and nurture leads, score contacts, build visual multi-step campaigns, send email journeys and newsletters, publish landing pages and forms, and track engagement across every channel. Segment your audience dynamically, trigger actions from contact behaviour, and keep your entire marketing database private on infrastructure you control. This image delivers Mautic fully installed and configured, so a complete marketing automation service is running within minutes of launch. The current release available is Mautic 7.1.2.

## Application Stack

Mautic is a Symfony application built on:

• PHP 8.3 with OPcache and every extension Mautic requires
• nginx web server with TLS-ready configuration serving the Mautic front controller
• A local MariaDB database
• The MariaDB data directory and the Mautic application tree each live on their own dedicated, independently resizable EBS data volume
• The database schema is migrated at build time and background jobs (segment updates, campaign rebuild and trigger, email send, broadcasts) run as systemd timers - no manual cron configuration required

The platform is fully operational the moment it boots, unlike manual installs or Docker-based deployments that require additional orchestration and cron setup.

## Security and Data Privacy

On first boot a one-shot service generates a fresh application secret unique to that instance, rotates the database password, sets a fresh administrator password, points the site URL at your instance address, and writes credentials to a root-only file. No shared or default credentials ship in the image.

nginx is pre-configured for TLS termination. Data volumes support EBS encryption at rest. All marketing contact data - emails, behavioural events, scoring history - stays within your own VPC, giving you full data sovereignty. This architecture supports GDPR data-residency requirements because personal data never leaves infrastructure you control.

Recommended network configuration: restrict inbound access via Security Groups to HTTPS (443) and SSH (22) from trusted IPs only, and deploy within a private VPC subnet with a NAT gateway for outbound SMTP traffic.

## Integrations

Mautic integrates with the tools your team already uses:

• Email delivery: Amazon SES, Mailgun, SendGrid, Mandrill, SparkPost, or any SMTP provider
• CRM: Salesforce, HubSpot CRM, SuiteCRM, Vtiger
• CMS and eCommerce: WordPress, WooCommerce, Drupal
• Automation and APIs: Zapier, n8n, custom webhooks, full REST API
• AWS services: Amazon SES for transactional and bulk email, Amazon S3 for asset storage

Connect your preferred SMTP provider in the email settings to start sending immediately.

## Evaluation Path

To evaluate Mautic before committing to production, launch the AMI on a small instance type such as t3.small. Browse to the instance address, sign in with the generated administrator credentials, and explore the campaign builder, segment editor, and email composer. When ready for production, resize the instance and EBS volumes to match your contact list and sending volume.

## Use Cases

E-commerce re-engagement: An online retailer with 50,000 contacts runs abandoned-cart email sequences and post-purchase nurture campaigns while keeping all customer behavioural data in their own VPC for GDPR compliance.

B2B lead qualification: A SaaS startup uses lead scoring and multi-step nurture campaigns to qualify marketing-qualified leads before passing them to sales via CRM integration with Salesforce or HubSpot.

Agency multi-instance management: A digital marketing agency deploys separate Mautic instances per client, each with isolated data and custom branding, all backed by cloudimg support.

Self-hosted alternative: Teams replacing commercial platforms like HubSpot, Marketo, or ActiveCampaign gain full data ownership, unlimited contacts, and no per-seat fees.
