Reloadify Version 2: Here's what we've updated!
Over the past few days, beta testers have been extensively testing our new features and capabilities. Their feedback has been implemented and now it's finally here, Reloadify Version 2 is going live for everyone! From now on you will enjoy a better user experience, a more powerful package and a more stable platform. As you probably already know, ease of use is always a high priority for us. Get more efficient at launching your campaigns, acquiring new customers and optimizing your results. Let's take a look at what we've revamped!
More stable code
Our email software has been completely redesigned with rewritten code, making it much more stable than before. This is all very nice, but what do you get out of it? You as a customer will benefit from this. Our code has been adjusted to make it more user-friendly and future-proof. As a result, you end up spending even less time composing an e-mail and can spend your time on other things that provide conversion.
To illustrate this: Our application consists of all pieces of code. A piece of code to load the software, but also a piece of code to load the email editor, run an A/B test, load an order or load a turnover. These millions (yes, really!) of pieces of code were skillfully put down in our system over time by all of our developers.
All in all, this worked great for you the customer: you are working with a software package that works well and fast. What we see on our side is a completely different story: we see millions of pieces of "loose" code working together. Not efficiently, but it works together. You can already feel it coming: because all the code has been completely rewritten, our system no longer works with these individual pieces, but as a whole.
Why does this make you happy?
- The code itself is a lot faster, making Reloadify itself much faster. More time for other things!
- We've moved some things around, making the structure of the software more logical.
- More advanced features are easier to roll out, less waiting time for you!
Why does this make our developers extremely happy?
- It makes it easier to detect errors in the system because you no longer have to go through millions of puzzle pieces.
- It makes it easier to read and understand the code.
- New features are easier to roll out.
In a nutshell, here's what you can expect from Reloadify V2. Want to know more? Read on quickly.
Several sections have been changed or moved
Reloadify's layout has been changed slightly. Not much, because we are very happy with the look and feel. We specifically chose to refresh the design a bit. The color scheme has been changed slightly, some pages now look calmer.
- Dashboard
The dashboard has expanded considerably! Besides the generated revenue and the number of sent emails, you can see your 5 most popular newsletters and triggers here. You can also see the number of new newsletter signups at a glance in the dashboard.
- The chat function has been moved
Our handy chat function can now be found in the menu on the left, under 'other'. Are you working on the design of your e-mail? In the editor, open the chat via the 'chat' button in the top menu! So now you can easily ask your questions even while designing.
- 'Integrations' are now called data sources
Integrations play an increasingly important role. You as a customer want to integrate all your data into one system. Therefore, we have chosen to give integrations a more prominent place in the application. You will no longer find this under 'settings', but in the menu on the left. Also, it is now called 'data sources'. Your data sources include all data sources that you can connect or are connected to. Thus, the connection of your platform is also included and you will also find here the possibility to upload your CSVs. After all, a CSV upload is also a data source.
- 'Reports' have been moved to the top of the menu
The 'reports' heading is no longer at the bottom of your menu, but at the top. We did this because your reports are important.
- You can filter on status for triggers and newsletters
Do you have a draft trigger? Or an active trigger? An A/B test? In the new Reloadify design you can filter on this. Nice and easy!
- Scheduling your mail has been moved
Chances are you schedule your newsletters for a certain sending moment. This option has been moved to the 2nd step of your mail: the email settings. When unchecking the 'send immediately' slider behind the send date, the calendar appears where you choose the desired send time. Thanks to this move, you can also prepare draft newsletters at the right time!
- Landing pages can be given a description
Besides the title of a landing page, it is now possible to add a description to your landing page. This way it is possible to keep a better overview. Put in here, for example, from how long to how long the action on the landing page took or on which channel the landing page is placed.
- With segments, you no longer find a reload icon
This is because segments are completely live. You never have to update this yourself again!
- CNAME validation
Both the CNAMES for your webshop and landing page can now be found under one topic.
- Sections 'helpdesk' and 'roadmap' now open in a new tab
Because that's just convenient.
- Search bar for filter rules has been improved
Where before you could only search on the title, you can now also search on the subtitle. This makes searching your filter rules via the search bar many times easier.
Furthermore, Reloadify has become fresher. Are you missing your feedback in this list? No worries. We deliberately chose to deliver the new design as soon as it is functional. That's almost here now.
More advanced features are easier to roll out
Because we have rewritten our entire application, it is easier for us to roll out advanced features. This means we can start working with innovative features. This allows us to offer you, the customer, even more, which ultimately results in a better user experience.
Some examples of advanced features we can roll out more easily include:
- Flows, an advanced way to set up your email campaign.
- New implementation of the rules system including the option to add custom fields to profiles for ultimate profile enrichment.
You can also expect more from us soon, including more advanced features that will make launching your campaigns, acquiring new customers and optimizing your results a lot easier.
And then it was time for....
In addition to rolling out these somewhat smaller items, our next project is waiting for us, which is: flows.
Our designer has already been busy working on flows, so our developers will soon solve this for you. We are looking forward to it! n one go to implement the flows. Flows is a more advanced way than triggers to set up your email campaign. Getting stuck on something in your triggers? Then flows will.
