The WHMCS Axigen Module Creation involved the development of a custom WHMCS module designed to seamlessly integrate with the Axigen Mail Server, a popular email hosting solution. The module allows for the efficient creation and management of email accounts, domains, and other essential mail server components directly through the WHMCS platform. This integration provides both admin and end-user panels, enabling the automation of email account creation, user management, and configuration, all while ensuring smooth operation between the billing system and email hosting infrastructure.

Key Features and Functionality:

1. Admin Panel Features:

The admin panel serves as the central control hub for configuring and managing the Axigen Mail Server settings, monitoring user activities, and overseeing the entire mail hosting service. Key features include:

• Module Settings Configuration: The admin panel allows the administrator to configure essential settings for the integration, such as server details, API credentials, and communication protocols between WHMCS and Axigen. This ensures that the integration works smoothly and securely.
• Order Acceptance and Domain Creation: When a customer places an order for email hosting via WHMCS, the admin can accept the order, triggering an automatic process that creates the corresponding domain in the Axigen Mail Server. This feature automates the provisioning of new domains and significantly reduces manual intervention.
• User and Account Management: The admin panel enables the management of client accounts, allowing admins to create, delete, or suspend email accounts and make necessary adjustments. This feature is particularly useful for maintaining control over the entire email hosting infrastructure.

2. User Panel Features:

The user panel is designed to give end-users (the clients) full control and autonomy over their email accounts, domains, and related settings. With this panel, clients can easily manage their email hosting services without requiring intervention from the admin. Key features include:

• Domain Management: After placing an order, clients are able to create, modify, or delete their domains directly from the user panel. This allows clients to quickly configure new email domains for their business or personal use, without needing to contact support.
• Account Creation and Management: Users can easily create and manage individual email accounts within their domain. This feature allows clients to add email addresses, configure user settings, change passwords, or delete email accounts when necessary.
• Mailing List Management: Clients can create and manage mailing lists, allowing them to easily send bulk emails to a group of recipients. Mailing lists are essential for businesses that need to communicate with clients, team members, or partners. Users can create new lists, add/remove members, and configure email delivery settings.

3. Automatic Provisioning and Integration:

Automated Domain Setup: Upon order acceptance in WHMCS, the module automatically provisions the domain in the Axigen Mail Server, saving time and minimizing errors that may occur with manual setup.

Seamless Account Integration: As soon as a client creates an account in WHMCS, the module ensures that the corresponding email account is automatically provisioned in Axigen. This seamless integration ensures that the user has instant access to their new email accounts without delays.

4. Key Benefits of the WHMCS-Axigen Mail Server Module:

• Efficiency and Automation: This module automates various tasks such as domain creation, email account management, and configuration, eliminating the need for manual intervention and improving efficiency. This reduces the time spent on account setup and allows both admins and users to manage their services with minimal effort.
• Enhanced User Control: The user panel empowers clients by giving them full control over their domains, email accounts, groups, mailing lists, and other settings. This reduces reliance on customer support and gives clients the flexibility to manage their email services independently.
• Scalability: The module is designed to scale as your business grows. It allows you to easily onboard new clients, add domains, and provision additional email accounts with minimal administrative work, making it suitable for businesses of all sizes.
• Streamlined User Experience: The clean, intuitive user interface for both the admin and user panels ensures that even non-technical users can navigate the system with ease. This leads to a better overall experience for both administrators and end users.
• Cost-Effective: By automating processes and reducing the need for manual intervention, this module helps lower operational costs for businesses that provide email hosting services. It reduces the burden on support teams and makes email management more efficient.

5. Technology Stack and Customization:

• WHMCS: The billing and automation platform that integrates with the Axigen Mail Server to automate account creation, provisioning, and management.
• Axigen Mail Server API: The API is used to communicate between WHMCS and Axigen, ensuring that data is synced and domains/accounts are automatically provisioned and managed.
• PHP and MySQL: The module is built using PHP and MySQL, ensuring a fast, reliable, and scalable solution for managing email services.
• Custom Interface Design: The admin and user panels are designed for ease of use, featuring a clean and intuitive interface that allows both administrators and clients to navigate and configure settings efficiently.
