Scheduled maintenance and upgrade for dotmailer on 12th November 2014 includes the following upgrades and changes:
New networks added to 'Social links' in EasyEditor
You can now link from campaigns directly to your profile at the following social networks:
- Google+
- YouTube
- Vimeo
These join Blog, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Twitter among the choices available.
Classic trigger changes
There have been a couple of changes made to classic triggers, ahead of our planned retirement of classic triggers across all accounts on 7th January 2015:
- You can convert a classic trigger to a program: The 'Triggered campaigns' page now has an option that allows a user to convert a classic trigger into a program automatically. The classic trigger will still remain and won't be deleted (as yet).
- 'My triggers (classic)' option is hidden for all accounts that don't have any: Users without a classic trigger will no longer see the option under 'Automation'.
Surveys and forms improvements
We've introduced performance gains for complex or multi-page surveys. We hope you'll notice the difference!
Other improvements
We've also upgraded and tweaked several other features including:
- CopyKat, within surveys and forms, now loads in our Magento, Salesforce and Dynamics connectors; previously it didn't
- Some users were experiencing problems when attempting to save segments but this has now been fixed
- A modification has been implemented to improve the layout of various templates when making use of the ‘Do not stack content on mobile device’ option
- There were instances of sends which were cancelled mid-send that didn’t create sent/unsent address books; this has been rectified
- An issue has been fixed which was causing autocomplete to timeout for larger Insight data collections in the segment builder

- An issue in which inbox previews were failing has been fixed
