Today we are super excited to announce the release of our new automation builder! This new builder is the result of weeks, even months of hard work.
Kudos to our team for revamping this builder, which was no walk in the park. They've done a tremendous job that took close to a year from start to finish and now allows us to have arguably the most flexible, best automations builder available!
Here is what's new…
New, Easy-to-Use Drag-&-Drop User Interface
We completely revamped our automation builder, to make it more intuitive and easier to use, allowing you to create all sorts of automations with drag-and-drop ease. You can now create an automation in just a few seconds…
Make sure you give it a try!
New “Annotations” Module
We implemented a new “Annotations” module, so you can leave notes, as well as add stickers, emojis and images, pretty much anywhere you want in your automations. You could leave notes for your colleagues for example…
Improved “View Stats” Module
We greatly improved the “View Stats” window. We now show stats directly on their respective element. There is also an email preview that you can click to see more stats… meaning you can check the stats of your automations in just a few clicks, right from the builder.
New “Share” Options!
We added a couple of options:
“Share Direct URL”, which is self-explanatory, share the link with anyone and choose if they see stats or not.
“Embed an Automation”, which means you can now embed automations!
New “Wait” Options
There are now new “Wait” options available, as you can see below:
This means you can decide exactly when someone should receive an email or text message from you. For example, you could choose a specific day in the week, at the specific time (in the recipient's time zone).
There are also a lot of new options, including but not limited to:
