New Features
Link Actions in the Email Builder New
You can now attach tag, list, and automation actions directly to a button, image, or text link in the email builder, without building a separate workflow.
When a reader clicks the link, the action runs. Clicking a button can add a tag, subscribe someone to a list, or start an automation. You set this up right where you add the link’s URL, in the Style tab. For text, a Links and Actions section lists every link in that block so you can attach an action to each one. You can create a new tag or list on the spot while setting it up, and when you reopen the panel it shows the real tag, list, or automation name rather than a raw ID.
Example
- Add a tag to a reader the moment they click a button in your email.
- Subscribe people to a list when they click a link.
- Start an automation from a click without building a separate trigger.
- Attach different actions to different links in the same block of text.
This lets a single click in your email do real work in your account, set up in seconds.
Automation Export and Import New
You can now export automations as a file and import them back into SureContact, so you can back them up, move them between workspaces, or reuse a setup.
From the workflow list, export a single automation from its row menu, or select several and export them together. The file downloads on its own as soon as it is ready, so you do not need to open the Exports page. To bring automations in, open the New Workflow menu, choose Import Automations, and upload a file you exported earlier. Imported automations always arrive as drafts, so you can review them before turning them on. The existing analytics export is still there, now labelled CSV Report to keep it separate from this re-importable backup.
Example
- Back up an important automation before making big changes to it.
- Copy a proven workflow from one workspace into another.
- Export several automations at once as a single download.
- Review imported automations as drafts before you activate them.
This makes your automations portable and safe to experiment with.
Improvements
Campaign Content Auto-Save Improved
The drag-and-drop, rich text, and custom HTML editors now save your campaign content to the server automatically as you work, so a crash or an accidental exit no longer loses unsaved edits.
Auto-save runs quietly in the background while you compose. Moving past the Compose step still requires your content to pass moderation, and you will now see a clear warning if you try to continue before that has happened, in all three editors. This also fixed a couple of related issues: the “choose a new editor” reset button now fully clears your old content and asks you to confirm first, and a bug that could wipe the moderation status right after it was set.
Example
- Keep your work if the browser crashes part way through composing.
- Come back to a half-finished email and find your edits still there.
- Get a clear prompt if you try to move on before content is moderated.
- Confirm before resetting so you do not lose content by accident.
This takes the worry out of composing longer emails.
Success Page Builder Loads Your Saved Design Improved
Opening the success page builder for a form now loads your saved design straight away, and gives you a starter layout when you are building one for the first time.
Previously, opening the builder directly, in a new tab, after a refresh, or from a shared link, showed a blank canvas even when a design was already saved. It now loads the saved design in those cases too. And when a form has no success page yet, the builder starts you off with a ready-made layout: a checkmark, a heading that greets people using their email address, and a subheading, instead of an empty canvas.
Example
- Open the success page builder in a new tab and see your saved design.
- Share a builder link with a teammate without them landing on a blank page.
- Start from a clean, ready-made layout instead of an empty canvas.
- Refresh the builder without losing sight of your existing design.
This makes building and editing a form’s success page much less fiddly.
Bug Fixes
Attachments on Relayed Emails Now Deliver Fixed
Fixed an issue where file attachments on transactional emails sent through the SureContact SMTP relay, for example emails sent by SureMails, were silently dropped. The email body arrived and the send was logged as successful, but the attached files never reached the recipient. Attachments now deliver correctly. For safety there are limits on attachment size and a list of allowed file types, so certain types such as executables are rejected with a clear message rather than sent.
