E-goi can now <strong>auto-notify your site visitors whenever you’ve got a new post out</strong>!</p> <p> </p> <h4>Terrific! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f917.png" alt="🤗" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> How does it work?</h4> <p>Simply tick “<strong>RSS</strong>” when <a href="https://helpdesk.e-goi.com/135733-Creating-a-web-push-message">creating a web push campaign in E-goi</a> and follow the steps provided. An <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS">RSS</a> feed is essentially a list of your site’s latest posts. Whenever E-goi checks it and finds new content, it’ll web-push it out to everyone who subscribed to your site’s notifications.</p> <p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16194 aligncenter" src="https://blog.e-goi.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/webpush-rss-choose.jpg" alt="" width="381" height="400"></p> <p>This is by far the quickest, highest-impact way to engage your subscribers with your latest news, as <strong>people will instantly see your notification if using Chrome, Firefox or Opera</strong> <strong>– </strong>even when browsing away from your site or switching to another app window! As long as the browser is open in the background, your notification will seamlessly pop up.</p> <h4>Amazing! You guys are the ones made of awesome.</h4> <p>Hold that thought. You see, we’ve also added web push messaging to your <a href="https://helpdesk.e-goi.com/167547-Creating-an-autoresponder">Autobots</a> (just choose “Web push” in your “Send campaign” action). What this means: instant automated website notifications!</p> <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16200 aligncenter" src="https://blog.e-goi.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/webpush-autobot-arrow.jpg" alt="" width="462" height="400"></p> <p>Say someone opens your ecommerce email but doesn’t click on any product. You can let E-goi automatically push an out-of-stock-soon notification a couple of hours later to propel them into action. Or let them know they’ve still got items in their cart and offer them a time-limited voucher. <a href="https://blog.e-goi.com/web-push-notifications/">More examples here</a>.</p> <h4>Well, now you’re truly made of awesome! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f929.png" alt="🤩" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Anything else?</h4> <p>Just this wee little thingie:</p> <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16229 aligncenter" src="https://blog.e-goi.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/email-builder-drag-optimized-final.gif" alt="" width="533" height="300"></p> <h4>Mother of Goid!

Still in pre-beta (meaning a lot of fixes on the horizon), but you can play around and tinker at will – simply choose “Builder” as your editor while creating an email campaign from scratch with an empty template.

That's an incoming web push message :)" src="https://blog.e-goi.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/user-control1.jpg" alt="Ohh, what's this cool thingie? That's an incoming web push message :)" width="560" height="301" /></p> <p> </p> <p>You can’t miss it! Even if you’re browsing Google or any other site. Even if you’ve closed your browser altogether. It’s the single notification you (and your little furry friend <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f63b.png" alt="😻" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> ) were waiting for, delivered straight to where you can see it.</p> <p><strong>This is why web push is made of awesome!</strong></p> <blockquote><p>Maximum cross-device visibility, full segmentation, real-time delivery – a smart marketer’s dream come true!</p></blockquote> <h4></h4> <h4>Wow, can I have it? Pretty please? With sprinkles? <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f60d.png" alt="😍" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></h4> <p>Now you can! Say hi to our all-new messaging channel (in addition to email, SMS, mobile push and voice): <strong>web push</strong>!</p> <p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-5348 size-full" title="This is where you choose to create a new webpush campaign!" src="https://blog.e-goi.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/users2.jpg" alt="This is where you choose to create a new webpush campaign!" width="463" height="400" /><br /> It allows you to easily engage your site visitors with <strong>targeted, fully opt-in browser-based messages</strong>.</p> <h4>Ohhh! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f917.png" alt="🤗" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> How does it work?</h4> <p>Easy-peasy. Your site visitors will first be asked to subscribe to your messages. The invite looks something like this (you can customise it freely, as we did for this Portuguese pet shop example):</p> <p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-6079 size-full" title="A message subscription invite on a pet shop site!" src="https://blog.e-goi.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/user-control1.jpg" alt="A message subscription invite on a pet shop site!" width="453" height="142" /><br /> And this is how it’ll pop up when accessing your site:</p> <p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-6079 size-full" title="How can you say no? ;-)" src="https://blog.e-goi.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/user-control1.jpg" alt="How can you say no? ;-)" width="560" height="270" /><br /> People hitting “Yes” just need to confirm their choice:</p> <p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-6079 size-full" title="Visitors simply need to confirm this once." src="https://blog.e-goi.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/user-control1.jpg" alt="Visitors simply need to confirm this once." width="491" height="444" /><br /> And that’s basically it! From then on, any web push message you send out using E-goi will be shown on your subscribers’ browser, smartphone or desktop as a sliding notification! Yep, it’s that simple 🙂 .</p> <h4>Sounds amazing! How much does it cost?</h4> <p>If you use one of our <a href="https://www.e-goi.com/pricing/">plans</a>, it comes included at no extra cost! Web push subscribers will simply count towards your contact total.</p> <p>If you use <a href="https://www.e-goi.com/pricing/">pay-as-you-go</a>, each web push sent is charged the same as a good ol’ email (ie. very little).</p> <h4>Holy moley, I want it now! Anything I should keep in mind?</h4> <p>Yep. Chrome, Firefox or Opera users will be able to subscribe to your messages, but not those using Safari (this will change soon). Anyone who does subscribe will get your messages <strong>in near real-time</strong> though. 😀</p> <h4>Wicked! What kind of messages should I be pushing out?</h4> <p>Is your message going to:</p> <p>– Help your subscribers?<br /> – Come on! Really, really help them?<br /> – Be timely?<br /> – Be offering real value?<br /> – Be exactly the kind of cool thing they signed up to receive?</p> <p>If you said “Yes” to all the above, go forth and web-push away, especially if you’re doing:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Time-critical announcements</strong> (major breaking news, key new features, flight check-ins, medical appointments)</li> <li><strong>In-the-loop alerts</strong> (price drops, order delivery updates, just-published stories or blog posts)</li> <li><strong>Preference-based special gifts</strong> (discount offers, abandoned cart reminders, hand-picked related items)</li> </ul> <h4>I’ve heard I can get 99,9% opens using web push? True?</h4> <p>Yes if you do it the smart way. Web push messages have some of the highest visibility around – <strong>subscribers will see your notification as soon as they fire up their browser</strong>! But with great power comes great responsibility. So be sure not to spray and pray – too many unfocused messaging and people simply tune out. Take the time to engage them with ultra-relevant, carefully segmented content. Your subscribers are giving you access to their prime mobile and desktop real-estate – be considerate, be useful, be valuable.</p> <h4>Is web push available in my E-goi account right now?</h4> <p>Sure thing. Check out how to get started! It’s currently in beta, which means we’ve got some exciting push-tastic new features on the horizon:</p> <p>– RSS-to-webpush<br /> – Web push for Autobots<br /> – Advanced web push segmenting<br /> – And plenty more enhancements</p> <p>So go ahead and give it a whirl! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f60a.png" alt="😊" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p> <div class="saboxplugin-wrap" itemtype="http://schema.org/Person" itemscope itemprop="author"><div class="saboxplugin-tab"><div class="saboxplugin-gravatar"><img decoding="async" src="https://blog.e-goi.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/mascote-100x100.jpg" width="100" height="100" srcset="https://blog.e-goi.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/mascote-200x200.jpg 2x" alt="Rúben Alvim" class="avatar avatar-100 wp-user-avatar wp-user-avatar-100 alignnone photo" /></div><div class="saboxplugin-authorname"><a href="https://blog.e-goi.com/author/ruben-alvim/" class="vcard author" rel="author"><span class="fn">Rúben Alvim</span></a></div><div class="saboxplugin-desc"><div itemprop="description"><p>Product Content Manager</p> </div></div><div class="saboxplugin-web "><a href="https://secure.gravatar.com/userimage/118861095/1125ef5c7595eb9c5614e6d902e3c5c0?size=250" target="_self" >secure.gravatar.com/userimage/118861095/1125ef5c7595eb9c5614e6d902e3c5c0?size=250</a></div><div class="clearfix"></div></div></div>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://blog.e-goi.com/web-push-is-here-to-bring-you-high-impact-in-browser-notifications/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Thumbs-up for your new email checklist wizard!</title> <link>https://blog.e-goi.com/thumbs-up-for-your-new-email-checklist-wizard/</link> <comments>https://blog.e-goi.com/thumbs-up-for-your-new-email-checklist-wizard/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Rúben Alvim]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 15 Jan 2018 17:02:07 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[E-goi News]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://blog.e-goi.com/?p=9863</guid> <description><![CDATA[Email-o-holics, rejoice!

It’s that time of the year again, Christmas just round the corner and there’s only one thing on your mind. “I need to get my season’s greetings out the door!” Fair enough. Who will you be sending them to? “Everyone.” Everyone? “Everyone!”. OK, let me put this as nicely as I can.</p> <h4>Don’t bloody do it! Stop!</h4> <p>Snap out of it (or get someone to water-splash you into reason :)! Yeah, we know it sounds really, really tempting <a href="https://helpdesk.e-goi.com/586901-Creating-an-email-using-Email-Builder" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">to email all your clients</a> a “Happy holidays” card. The problem is twofold:</p> <h3>Problem #1</h3> <p>By “all clients” you probably mean everyone who ever did business with you. But ask your sales staff to provide you with a list of “all clients” and they’ll gladly pull all contacts from your CRM, which includes everyone and their mother (prospecting is their job after all), even if those people haven’t heard of you in years.</p> <p>So what happens when these age-old contacts get an email from you out of the blue? If you’re lucky, they’ll just bin it. The most likely outcome though is getting a truckload of undeliverables and spam complaints, which will kill your deliverability! “But this is season’s greetings we’re talking about”, we hear you say. “Everyone enjoys them. I must do it”. Well, that segues nicely into…</p> <h3>Problem #2</h3> <p>Do you know who’s also churning out season’s greetings in the coming days? Everyone! Absolutely anyone and everyone will happy-holyday their customer list into submission.</p> <p>The result? Your lovely “Here’s wishing…” email won’t have a snowball’s chance in Mt Doom to stand out from the crowd. This in turn will lead your email not to be opened (people tend to tune out the annual Xmas bludgeoning), which lowers your ISP engagement and, again, ruins your deliverability!</p> <h4>So how should you go about it then?</h4> <p>It’s all about engagement, so make sure to:</p> <ul> <li><strong>#1</strong> Never blast a bog-standard Xmas postcard to your whole list! Turn your mailing into something relevant, targeted and treasured. For example, how about treating your most valuable customers to a special gift?</li> <li></li> <li>Simply segment your top shoppers and offer them something unique which builds a close relationship with your brand. And if you really must send them a “Happy new year” email as well, then…</li> <li></li> <li><strong>#2</strong> Tell a story! People love stories (that’s what makes civilisations tick ;), so do feel free to engage with your audience with what you’ve been up to this year. The more personal you get, the more you’ll pique your clients’ attention, but try to make it about them instead of you. Oh, and all the better if you make it funny <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></li> <li></li> <li><strong>#3</strong> Do nothing if you’re better off doing nothing! Yep, that’s right. If you really don’t have a gift to offer your best customers or no way to target them (come on, seriously?), save yourself the trouble and stress of getting a run-of-the-mill Xmas card out the door. People will be so swamped with a never-ending flood of season’s greetings they won’t even remember to think less of you for not mailing them.</li> <li></li> <li>Want proof?

We’ve finaly gone ahead and gave your <strong>email creation wizard in E-goi</strong> a sparkling makeover. What was once a twisting series of steps when first choosing how to craft your email has been redesigned into a seamless, chunky single-page experience!<br /> <img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-6079 size-full" title="Hi, I'm your new email creation workflow!" src="https://blog.e-goi.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/workflow-email-optimized.gif" alt="Hi, I'm your new email creation workflow!" width="560" height="362"></p> <h4>Oh boy, much better!</h4> <p>Thanks – our designer agrees <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f609.png" alt="😉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> . Glad you liked it!</p> <h4>I’m still getting the old page. When will I be seeing this live?</h4> <p>Soon. For the time being, you’ll still be taken to the old selection page, but until the end of the year the new design should come up every time you create an email campaign.</p> <blockquote><p>This new page design will roll out live for all E-goi accounts in the 1st quarter of 2018 (maybe earlier <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f609.png" alt="😉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> )</p></blockquote> <h4>I noticed the email deployment page has been kept the same. Will you upgrade it as well?</h4> <p>You bet! In due time it’ll be overhauled into a new ultra-clean design, very similar to the current <a href="https://blog.e-goi.com/en/uh-oh-what-freaky-thing-happened-to-your-sms-and-voice-broadcasts/">SMS, push and voice-based campaign deployment wizards</a>.</p> <h4>Great! Anything else?</h4> <p>Oh yeah. Check this out:</p> <p>– If you’d like E-goi to <strong>store any replies to your email campaign</strong>, we’ve added a new option to the deployment page (under “reply-to”) allowing you to do just that.<img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-5348 size-full" title="This is what you should enable to keep your contacts' replies in E-goi." src="https://blog.e-goi.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/email-workflow-revamp1.jpg" alt="This is what you should enable to keep your contacts' replies in E-goi." width="560" height="211"></p> <p>This enables you to:</p> <ul> <li>» prevent your inbox from being flooded with out-of-office replies</li> <li>» <a href="https://helpdesk.e-goi.com/000269-Segmenting-my-contact-list-segments-tags-and-extra-fields">target those contacts</a> who replied to your email</li> <li>» <a href="https://helpdesk.e-goi.com/000269-Segmenting-my-contact-list-segments-tags-and-extra-fields">segment contacts</a> whose replies contain a specific word</li> </ul> <p>Wait, there’s more! Very soon we’ll push live the ability to:</p> <ul> <li>» <a href="https://helpdesk.e-goi.com/167547-Creating-an-autoresponder">trigger an Autobot</a> when a contact replies to your email</li> <li>» view each contact’s answers on their E-goi profile</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>– Your <strong>account info page</strong> has also been given a fresh lease of life – heaps easier to navigate and fully responsive to boot!</p> <p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-5348 size-full" title="The new account info page." src="https://blog.e-goi.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/account-info-revamp.gif" alt="The new account info page." width="560" height="362"></p> <p> </p> <p>– We’ve also added a new option allowing people to <strong>leave a Facebook comment on your email campaign</strong> straight off the email itself! You can toggle it under “Options” while editing the campaign. When enabled, anyone viewing your email’s as a webpage (by clicking the email’s “online version” link) will be able to comment on it.</p> <p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-5348 size-full" title="The Facebook comment area in your campaign will show up here." src="https://blog.e-goi.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/faebook-comments-email.jpg" alt="The Facebook comment area in your campaign will show up here." width="244" height="400"></p> <p>– And that’s not all! <a href="https://blog.e-goi.com/en/html-email-templates-to-send-your-black-friday-and-cyber-monday-newsletters/">New Black Friday and Cyber Monday email designs</a> join the E-goi template fold. The <a href="https://helpdesk.e-goi.com/167547-Creating-an-autoresponder">Autobot</a> templates have also been given an additional time-based Event workflow.</p> <h4>Terrific! Can I chip in with my ideas for new E-goi features?</h4> <p>Sure, just leave them in our <a href="https://community.e-goi.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Community</a>. Log into your E-goi account, go to your dashboard (if you don’t see it, click the upper left corner, where it says “E-goi”) and you should find the E-goi Community as one of the dashboard windows.

Thousands of hot coffee sips! Hundreds of feedback back-and-forths! All to bring you an overhauled automation editor which will transform the way you craft autoresponders and nurturing funnels forever. Meet E-goi is Autobot Builder!]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>Holy goica-moly, looks amazing!</h4> <p>Hope it feels even better when you try it! It comes complete with a bevy of cool features and…</p> <h4>Do tell, do tell! What’s new in Autobot Builder?</h4> <p>Glad you asked! 🙂 Let’s break things down:</p> <h5>– Drag, drop and connect</h5> <p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-6079 size-full" title="Drag, drop and connect" src="https://blog.e-goi.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/user-control1.jpg" alt="Drag, drop and connect" width="589" height="362" /><br /> That’s right! Whereas the old editor would clumsily stack up whatever you dragged into it, you’re now free to <strong>drop any trigger or action anywhere and connect them as you see fit</strong>.</p> <h5>– Auto-layout and zoom-to-fit</h5> <p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-6079 size-full" title="Auto-layout and zoom-to-fit" src="https://blog.e-goi.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/user-control1.jpg" alt="Auto-layout and zoom-to-fit" width="589" height="362" /><br /> With the ability to freely position items, we’ve added a couple buttons allowing you to <strong>snap the whole automation pipeline into view with a single click</strong>.</p> <h5>– Multiple select</h5> <p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-6079 size-full" title="Multiple select" src="https://blog.e-goi.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/user-control1.jpg" alt="Multiple select" width="589" height="362" /><br /> CTRL + click is all it takes to <strong>pick several triggers or actions</strong> and drag them around or delete them in one fell swoop.</p> <h5>– Unlimited undo/redo</h5> <p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-6079 size-full" title="Unlimited undo/redo" src="https://blog.e-goi.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/user-control1.jpg" alt="Unlimited undo/redo" width="589" height="362" /><br /> By popular demand!</p> <h5>– Easier Autobot enable/disable</h5> <p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-6079 size-full" title="Easier Autobot enable/disable" src="https://blog.e-goi.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/user-control1.jpg" alt="Easier Autobot enable/disable" width="589" height="362" /><br /> We made it far simpler to put your automation into action or temporarily stop it. Just <strong>hit the toggle button</strong> on the upper left corner.</p> <h5>– 1-click Autobot save</h5> <p>Say goodbye to confusing auto-saves and awkwardly stored workflow versions! Anytime you need to save your Autobot, <strong>simply click the “Save” button</strong> on the upper right corner.</p> <h5>– Unlimited triggers anywhere</h5> <p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-6079 size-full" title="Unlimited triggers anywhere" src="https://blog.e-goi.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/user-control1.jpg" alt="Unlimited triggers anywhere" width="589" height="362" /><br /> This one is a biggie! You can now <strong>add any number of triggers anywhere in a sequence of actions</strong> (the old editor had a maximum of 5 triggers which could only kickstart first-time actions – not other actions along a sequence). If you’re into advanced sales funnels, you’ll love this to bits!</p> <h5>– Export as image</h5> <p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-6079 size-full" title="Export as image" src="https://blog.e-goi.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/user-control1.jpg" alt="Export as image" width="499" height="254" /><br /> In addition to exporting your full Autobot to another E-goi account, you can also simply have E-goi <strong>snapshot it into a PNG pic</strong> for sharing or printing.</p> <h5>– Optimus Prime approved</h5> <p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-6079 size-full" title="I approve - wholeheartedly!" src="https://blog.e-goi.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/user-control1.jpg" alt="I approve - wholeheartedly!" width="493" height="361" /><br /> You bet! Autobot Builder <a href="https://blog.e-goi.com/en/our-latest-autobot-features-presented-by-optimus-prime-himself/">has the official thumbs-up seal from the mighty Autobot leader, Optimus Prime himself</a> 😉</p> <h4>Terrific! Is the old Autobot editor gone for good?</h4> <p>Not for a while. For the time being, creating an Autobot from scratch is still done the old editor way, but in you’ll be given the chance to <strong>switch to Builder at anytime</strong>. This is to ensure you get used to it at your own pace.</p> <blockquote><p>Autobot Builder will roll out live for all E-goi accounts in just a couple of weeks!</p></blockquote> <p>After a few months though, Builder will become the de-facto editor for everything Autobot-related. From then on, <strong>the old editor will be no more</strong>.</p> <blockquote><p>Do remember: in a few months, the old editor will be gone!</p></blockquote> <h4>What was involved in the making of Autobot Builder?</h4> <ul> <li>9.5 million keyboard presses</li> <li>2185 coffee intakes (and counting)</li> <li>1395 bad programmer jokes</li> <li>327 cat cuddles</li> <li>162 office dog walk-outs</li> <li>1 cross-atlantic developer exfill</li> <li>Half a top-rated graduate paper</li> </ul> <h4>Was anyone harmed in the making of it? 😉</h4> <p>About 2 billion strands of hair 😀 But rest assured someone at E-goi will certainly be given the mother of all evil eyes if Autobot Builder is not working out for you when we push it live in your account. <strong>Looking forward to your feedback</strong>!</p> <h4>Great! Anything else?</h4> <p>Yep. The add single contact page (plus its copy/paste version) has been given a new lease of life as well. It now matches the ultra-clean, streamlined look we’ve been featuring across E-goi.<br /> <img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-6079 size-full" title="The new add contacts page" src="https://blog.e-goi.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/user-control1.jpg" alt="The new add contacts page" width="589" height="362" /></p> <h4>That’s too cool – do you even sleep? E-goi’s course and video how-tos now reflect this new look as well, right?</h4> <p>Ah, holy frigging chr… <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f630.png" alt="😰" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Well, let’s get down to video work then!

Any other goodies?</h4> <p>Since you can now date-trigger any Autobot (<a href="https://blog.e-goi.com/en/our-latest-autobot-features-presented-by-optimus-prime-himself/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">as demoed by Optimus Prime himself!</a>), we’ve put together a new automation template making it a breeze for you to send a special birthday gift to all your contacts. This is how the sequence works:</p> <p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-6080 size-full" title="The new birthday worflow template" src="https://blog.e-goi.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/user-control2.jpg" alt="The new birthday worflow template" width="373" height="400" /></p> <p>To use it, simply <a href="http://helpdesk.e-goi.com/167547-Creating-an-autoresponder" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">create your autoresponder</a> and choose the “Birthday” template.</p> <p>We’ve also been plugging away at a new, much nicer header and footer design for your email campaigns! This is how it looks above the fold:</p> <p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-6080 size-full" title="Your new email header design" src="https://blog.e-goi.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/user-control2.jpg" alt="Your new email header design" width="500" height="334" /></p> <p>With the footer following suit:</p> <p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-6080 size-full" title="And this is how your new footer looks" src="https://blog.e-goi.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/user-control2.jpg" alt="And this is how your new footer looks" width="487" height="400" /></p> <p>We’ll soon roll it out for all your <a href="http://helpdesk.e-goi.com/104194-Creating-an-email-campaign" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">new email campaigns</a> by default (the current header/footer design is a couple years old, which puts it right about dinosaur age in web time), but you can try it out for yourself right now! Just head over to your campaign options, go to the “Header/footer” section and tick your choice under “Style”.</p> <h5>Other tweaks and improvements</h5> <ul> <li><strong>#</strong> If you trigger your Autobot <a href="http://helpdesk.e-goi.com/734599-Which-triggers-and-actions-can-I-use-for-my-Autobots" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">on campaign clickthrough</a>, you can now select which part of the link will act as trigger (eg. only those links with the word “promo”).

Can I chip in with my ideas for new E-goi features?</h4> <p>Sure, just leave them in our <a href="https://community.e-goi.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Community</a>. Log into your E-goi account, go to your dashboard (if you don’t see it, click the upper left corner, where it says “E-goi”) and you should find the E-goi Community as one of the dashboard windows.
