SendBlaster 2.0.116: List-Unsubscribe header, Sharing Buttons and New Report Tools

Good news for everyone! We’ve just published a new release of SendBlaster (v. 2.0.116). All SendBlaster 2 users can download it and install it free of charge.
What’s new? We have included some general enhancements and introduced some cool new features that we are sure you’ll love.
In particular:

Facebook & Twitter Sharing buttons
SendBlaster 2.0.116 makes it easy to add buttons to share email content on Facebook and Twitter.
By clicking on sharing buttons, recipients are redirected to their social network profiles. They can preview the article, choose to publish it and share it with their friends with one single click.

Support for List-unsubscribe header
SendBlaster 2.0.116 supports the List-unsubscribe header. Including a list-unsubscribe header brings some benefits in terms of email deliverability: spam complaints, (generated when readers hit the spam button) are expected to be reduced since that the process to unsubscribe is made simpler and immediate. When it’s activated, recipients will see an Unsubscribe button, or link, that they can click if they would like to automatically stop receiving future mailings.

How To Schedule Your Mailings With SendBlaster 2

All SendBlaster 2 users are able to schedule their mailings to be sent out at specific dates. It is a very simple operation that allows improving your email marketing activities.
Here are the key steps to follow:

  1. Open SendBlaster (v.2)
  2. Click on the ‘Compose Message’ panel
  3. Edit your message
  4. Click on ‘Send panel’
  5. Make sure all your settings are correct
  6. Click on ‘Send Later…’
  7. Choose a Title for your scheduled mailing
  8. Select a date a time you want to be sent, then ‘Ok’
  9. Click on ‘Run in schedule Mode’ in the pop up window

Well done! Your mailing will be sent at the date and time you selected.

We have also prepared a short video tutorial that demostrates how to schedule your mailings to start a specific date and time …in just 1 minute!

In the ‘Schedule’ panel you can schedule current mailing operation (button New), change schedule date for the selected scheduled mailing operation (Edit date), preview the selected scheduled message (E-mail preview), start the selected mailing operation (Send Now), or delete one or more mailing operations (Delete).
Mailings can also be “parked”: it means that they are ready for being sent, but they will not be automatically launched.  You will be able to manually launch it at a later date.

Finally,  keep in mind that scheduled mailings are only launched when SendBlaster is in “Schedule mode”, in other words when it’s minimized in the tray area.
No mailings, even if the scheduled time has elapsed, will be automatically launched if the software is in “normal” mode.

What’s new on SB2 – SendBlaster Plugins

SendBlaster Plugins

SendBlaster 2 comes with dozens of enhancements and new features. In today’s post, we’d like to focus on SendBlaster Plugins.
We can define them as small external utilities that can be launched from inside SendBlaster’s user interface, in order to add new features to the program.  In other words, they represent an endless opportunity to customize and enhance SendBlaster in a very simple manner.

The first SendBlaster plugin, already available in SB2, is named  “Advanced HTML Editor“. It’s an additional HTML editor that supports DOM and CSS, it allows working with tables and editing many objects and properties.

In order to install it :

1. Go to “Advanced Settings” panel
2. Click on “More plugins” in the “Plugins” section: SendBlaster Plugins page will open on a new page.
3. Click on “Install”  button
4. Confirm it (run the .msi file)
5. Restart SendBlaster.

Please note that you can enable or disable any plugin from SendBlaster’s “Advanced Settings” panel. In order to completely remove a plugin, you must uninstall it from Windows Control Panel.

This is just the beginning though, expect many more SendBlaster plugins in the futureTheir API are public and third party developers will be encouraged to create new, useful plugins.
