Mautic is an open-source marketing automation suite for email campaigns, lead management, and customer journeys.

Marketers can score leads, collect information with forms, organize contact profiles by funnel stage, and gather multichannel data. Integrations include CRM and SMS services, webhooks, plugins, and a REST API. Mautic can run on a user's own server or hosting, with configurable tracking controls, IP anonymization, and cleanup tasks intended to support privacy requirements such as GDPR and CCPA.
