The latest updates to EmailOctopus
You can now duplicate an automation, just like you can with campaigns, forms and landing pages. The copy includes everything: your triggers, emails, wait steps and conditions.
It's handy when you want to reuse a welcome series for a different audience, build a variation of something that's working or test changes without touching the live version.
You'll find the option in the menu next to each automation.
You'll now see exactly which contacts match a segment as you create or edit it, right on the edit page. Previously this only showed up when sending a campaign, so now you know who you're targeting before you get that far.
A trigger is the event that adds someone into an automation. Until now, each one had just a single trigger. So if you wanted the same welcome series to start from a form sign-up and from a contact added through the API, you had to build two near-identical automations and keep them both in sync.
Not anymore! On our Pro plan, you can now add up to three triggers to a single automation. One welcome series can kick off when someone fills in a form, when you add a tag or when a contact comes in through the API.
Segments let you group contacts based on things they have in common, so you can send more relevant emails to the right people. We know that starting a segment from scratch can feel daunting, especially when you are not sure which conditions to use.
Now, when creating a segment, you can choose from a set of commonly used options and let us build it for you. It is a quicker, simpler way to create useful segments without configuring every condition yourself.
You can now create an EmailOctopus account with your Google account, so there's no new username or password to set up. Click "Sign up with Google" and you're in.
It's quicker (a couple of clicks and you're ready to start sending) and there's less to manage afterwards. No activation email, no password resets, your Google account handles all of that.
If you already use EmailOctopus, you can link your account to Google from your account settings whenever you like.
