Act! Emarketing Performance Improvements

Performance improvements to Act! emarketing not only reduce the time it takes to send email campaigns, but also ensure large campaigns send successfully. Now you can send Act! emarketing campaigns up to 5 times faster!

Campaign management improvements help you work more efficiently. Get instant feedback on your current Act! emarketing service level, including live details about your contact limit, usage this month, and new recipients in the selected campaign to avoid sending campaigns that exceed your current monthly send limit. Quickly and easily see email campaign history for a given contact, because a new campaign history overwrite ensures each email campaign creates and updates just one history entry per Contact Record. Finally, don’t worry about accidental sends, a send confirmation dialog will now check to make sure you’re ready to send an email campaign.

Customer-driven feature enhancements make Act! even easier to use. Enjoy 30+ refreshed standard reports with more relevant fields, along with default filters and sort orders that help you get the information you need quickly. A new file type ensures any existing custom reports you have stay safe. Last, consistent field references and data formatting make reports easier than ever to customize.

But, that’s not all. Benefit from the ongoing commitment to best-in-class usability with hundreds of quality updates driven by feedback from customers.
