Recent updates include:
Autogenerates secure ID: an essential update for complying with GDPR regulations. You can now anonymise personalised responsive URLs (RURLs) by autogenerating a unique recipient key for each user. Instead of using (e.g) a users first and last name, or other personal information in the URL, you can now use a unique recipient key, made up of a unique string of characters.
Interactive PDF: for Circle, when you’re in the PDF preview page, all interactive elements are now active.
XMPie e-mail service (XES)
XES is a commercial-grade, subscription based service available to all cross media customers, for delivering highly personalised marketing messages, behavioural triggered e-mails and transactional messages from your XMPie platform.
New updates include:
New ‘lite’ e-mail package: the new ‘Lite’ subscription package is available to give you a taster of the XES. The package can deliver 15,000 e-mails for $480 per year.
Link tracking: each link can now be assigned a tracking name, to make it easy to identify specific links in your e-mails. Now you can track your e-mail results with ease, including click throughs to give you an idea on how effective your marketing activities are.
Bounce handling: soft bounces (e-mail reaches the mail server but is bounced back undelivered) don’t need to be removed. However, hard bounces (e-mail is permanently rejected as e-mail address is invalid or doesn’t exist) must be removed immediately. This feature is designed to classify e-mail bounce backs as hard or soft, so you can take the appropriate action.
