2024

Billing system update — effective October 1, 2024

Starting October 1, 2024, eMarketeer moves to a new billing system. Key changes:

  • New invoice design.

  • User licenses — accounts are assigned a defined number of user licenses, visible on the User Administration page.

  • Monthly prepaid billing — subscriptions billed in advance. Two invoices issued in October during the transition; the second has a 60-day payment window.

Contact billing@emarketeer.com with any questions.

SuperOffice signals, Delete lead step, and Excel export

  • SuperOffice alarm flag — notification bell enabled on activities created by eMarketeer.

  • SuperOffice "new contact created" signal — new contacts created in SuperOffice are automatically created in eMarketeer and can trigger journeys.

  • Journey: Delete lead step — removes a contact from all lead boards when reached.

  • Export direct to Excel — contact exports now include a direct Excel file option.

  • Contact lists show name in UI — the list name is now visible when viewing a contact list.

Fixed
  • Stabilised SMS sending.

  • Small improvements to the Dynamics 365 integration.

  • Fixed a bug when copying certain components in a campaign.

  • Fixed a bug in forms where hidden required questions prevented submission.

Journey improvements, Lead Board filters, and API additions

  • Journey starting point: new date-based filters, e.g. "Last email sent".

  • Journeys: personalise step descriptions with contact card fields.

  • Journeys: view step settings on active journeys (editing disabled while active).

  • Lead Board: filter per sales user; filter on unassigned leads.

  • Application language now set under Settings → My Account.

  • Contact engagement filter: added 6-month range option.

  • API: list contact lists; delete contact.

  • SuperOffice side panel: show active subscriptions.

  • SuperOffice and Microsoft Dynamics consent sync now run on a 30-minute schedule.

Fixed
  • Unable to remove leads from the lead board.

  • Automation "Push to URL" returned success even when it failed.

  • Journey step "Add subscription" sometimes failed.

  • Unsubscribe page displayed poorly on mobile.

  • "Tell a friend" in emails did not always work.

  • Generating leads on the lead board sometimes took too long.

  • SuperOffice side panel social icons were missing.

  • Read-on-web link did not work when email content contained campaign fields.

Email deliverability improvements and Dynamics CRM integration

  • Email domains via-em.com removed for new customers using a custom domain.

  • Default sending settings now require positive consent (most GDPR-friendly method). Affects new customers only.

  • Improved pre-sendout email validation to reduce bounces.

  • Email service redundancy implemented.

  • New contact email status: "Inactive email", with a new "Exclude inactive contacts" sendout option.

  • Microsoft Dynamics CRM integration phase one: connect, import from CRM, and consent sync.

Maintenance release

  • Upgrade PHP and rewrite of several functions.

  • Rewrite of the SMS sending module for performance and stability.

  • Other small fixes and adjustments.

Journeys, DMARC compliance, and SuperOffice side panel

Journeys

  • Trigger journey from contact card, lead card, and SuperOffice side panel.

  • DMARC compliance — the "Authenticate email domain" settings page now checks all DNS records required by Google and Yahoo's email requirements.

  • Manual starting point — create journeys triggered only from the contact card.

  • Step conditions — skip steps when conditions are not met, without creating a new branch.

  • Dynamic recipient on Notifier step — use the @ character to insert contact card fields as the recipient address.

SuperOffice side panel

  • Create contact — create a missing contact in eMarketeer directly from the side panel.

  • Side panel requires no paid user — users only needing side panel access can be created as free users.

Journey Templates, Wait for Trigger, and SuperOffice Sale Closed signal

  • Journey Templates — choose from categorised, pre-built journeys to adapt to your needs.

  • Journey step: Wait for trigger — pauses a contact in a journey until they perform a defined action.

  • SuperOffice Signals: Sale Closed — when a sale is closed in SuperOffice, the data is sent to eMarketeer to move a lead, send a welcome email, or trigger any journey.

Action required: Google and Yahoo email requirements (February 2024)

Google and Yahoo introduced stricter email sender requirements in February 2024. If you send from a custom domain, two DNS entries are required to stay compliant.

Add the following records for your domain (replace yourdomain.com):

feedback.yourdomain.com  MX   10 feedback-smtp.eu-west-1.amazonses.com
feedback.yourdomain.com  TXT  "v=spf1 include:amazonses.com ~all"

If you send from the default via-em.com domain, no action is needed. See How to authenticate your domain for full instructions.
