In preparation for the move we will be trying to minimize any campaigns in the sending queue by Friday evening. Please plan to send any large volume campaigns at the start of the the day Friday and plan to taper off by the end of that day.

Update Your Social Share Message

This feature allows all of our clients and partners to update the default messaging that appears when a user clicks the Social Share icon.

For our private-label partners, they can even edit the system-wide default message in their agency model, found on the Admin page.

It’s easy to use and easy to update. If you can type in a text box and click ‘Save’, you’ll be able to figure it out!

To try out this new feature, read our help article first and then jump into the application.

Highlights

• Social share text is fully customizable
• Easy to update for admin and accounts
• Available and fully operational now

Label and change your links easily with Link Labeling

Experience complete control of links…even after you send a campaign.

One of our most requested new features is now live as Link Labeling is available for all clients and partners.

Link Labeling includes two key features:

Labeling: Instead of trying to figure out what a ridiculously long URL was in your campaign, just apply a label to your links after you send. Easy, simple, done.

Changing: We’ve all made the mistake of including an incorrect link in an email. Now we’ve removed that helpless feeling with a great one: the ability to completely change a link after you’ve sent it out. Even better, the change is immediate!

To try out this new feature, read our help article first and then jump into the application. Link Labeling is ready and waiting for you!

Highlights

• Label long URLs with shorter names
• Change incorrect links after deployment of a campaign
• Available and fully operational now

Scheduled Maintenance This Sunday At 6:30 PM

eConnect Email will be undergoing scheduled maintenance Sunday, November 28th, from 6:30 PM – 9:30 PM (PST), giving our clients and partners a chance to spend more time with their Thanksgiving leftovers.

Unsubscribe by mistake? With a single click, re-subscribe!

With the single-click unsubscribe in eConnect Email, we understand that sometimes you or your clients accidentally unsubscribe and it’s somewhat of a process to re-subscribe them. No more!

Now anyone that unsubcribes will have the option to immediately re-subscribe with a single click. They won’t have to leave the page or go through any lengthy hassle. One click and they’re back on the list…just like that.

The redesigned user interface is in the final stages of beta testing and is slated to roll out on October 22nd! Below is a list of a few of the enhancements.

Features

• New sidebar with collapsible navigation
• Re-organized navigation for better user experience
• Revamped reporting
• New hover menu actions
• Updated look-and-feel across all application elements

Our goal of the interface redesign was to take what we had already built and just make it better.  You will notice that the feel is similar… Now just much more user friendly and intuitive!  Things will be more dynamic and the overall user experience should be more innate and enjoyable.

Going into the user interface redesign we knew that it could potentially get some of our customers stirred up (after all, we are creatures of habit).  While any interface rework is going to cause some change, we feel that in the end it will lead to an overall better user experience.

Sneak Peek:
