New Block Style Email Editor
New
We have changed our email editor experience from a very bland experience to a new block editor. If you're familiar with WordPress and its new block editor, this is very similar. You can now add text, bold, italic, inline code, code blocks, images, and more with our new editor. We're working on adding more features to it soon, so you'll be able to craft great looking HTML emails.
Here's a screenshot of it in action:

Disposable / Free Email Updates
Fix
Nightly updates of free and disposable email. Listomo can restrict who is able to join your list. By default, we block all disposable email providers as they contribute to low list quality and damage your email reputation.
Each list has the option to block free email providers as well. This will ensure your email list is comprised of only high quality corporate email addresess which often have a much higher delivery and open rate. This can be enabled in the settings of your list:
This fix ensures that every night our free and disposable email lists are updated. At the time of this writing we can block over 170,000 free and disposable email providers from your lists.

New

Block Disposable and Free Email Providers Feature
New
This latest update includes an invaluable tool for any email marketing campaign: the ability to block sign-ups from free and disposable email service providers.
Our deny lists (known as blacklists in other providers) currently block over 4,700 free email providers and over 150,000 disposable email domains.
This feature shields your subscriber list from spam, high bounce and disengagement issues, which could harm your sender status.
By ensuring your list is filled with dedicated, genuinely interested contacts, your marketing initiatives become more impactful and targeted. This update represents a proactive approach towards refining the quality of your subscriber base, improving the overall effectiveness of your email campaigns.
Example use case: You are building an app and you are building a list of high quality leads that you only want to come from commercial email addresses (not free ones like GMail, Yahoo Mail, etc). Utilizing our block free email providers feature you can rest assured that your email list will only have highly qualified leads present in it.

Mail Provider Email Credit Checks
Improvement
Listomo will now check your available email credits on your selected mail provider before launching your campaign. If you don't have enough mail credits with the provider (and if the provider is email credit based) then your campaign will not e sent.
This helps preventing campaigns from accidentally getting sent that do not get delivered because there is not enough credits available on your selected mail provider.
Example: If you have SendGrid as your mail provider. Your list has 800 contacts in it. Your SendGrid account has 500 available email credits. You create a campaign, and then attempt to send it, you'll receive an error message stating that your SendGrid account does not have enough credits to send this campaign, along with the number of credits you have remaining.

Customized Incentive Emails with Liquid Formatting
New
You can now edit the incentive email (also known as Double Confirmation emails) contents for each form.
This allows you to provide a customized experience to contacts when they sign up to any form.
For example, your list might be to promote your new product, but you might have different marketing channels: Twitter & Instagram. You could have two different forms that serve each channel that are used to collect email addresses for your list. You can now customize the email that gets sent to the contact when they are to confirm their email address. This would allow you to customize the messaging for that double confirmation that would be tailored to the source.
Example:
Your Instagram Form (leads that come from Instagram):

Contact Dashboard, Email Activity Feed & Form Details
New
The form detail page has been upgraded to display the active contacts associated with each form as well as the email activity of the contact.
You can access an archive of all emails sent to a contact, complete with information on the status of each email. This provides a comprehensive overview of contact interaction history, revealing valuable insights into your communications.

In addition, the system now enables you to discern which forms a contact has subscribed to. This new feature allows for a deeper examination of each contact and their respective source, enhancing your understanding of your contact engagement and growth campaigns.
If you have enabled open tracking, or are interested in monitoring bounced messages or emails marked as spam, this information is now readily available in the email activity feed. The objective is to provide a clearer understanding of your contacts' interactions with your content.
Multiple List Forms
New
Experience a whole new level of flexibility and customization with our latest enhancement - multi-collection forms for each list. Now, your lists can boast an assortment of unique forms, each precisely crafted for your diverse growth strategies, dynamic landing pages and beyond.
What's more, there's no limit to the number of forms your contacts can be a part of. However, the system ensures the contact is only added once to the list to keep your list neat and streamlined.
This is to support a new feature that's on the horizon: Segmentation and automations based on the specific moment a contact is added to a form, and much more.
