Interface Updates

Default Dashboards

We’re thrilled to announce an exciting update to our newsletter plugin! This update brings a fresh, intuitive interface designed to streamline your workflow and unlock new possibilities for engaging your subscribers. In this blog post, we’ll take you on a tour of the updated interface, highlighting the key improvements and comparing it with the legacy version. Get ready to discover how these changes can elevate your newsletter game and help you build stronger connections with your audience!

Legacy Dashboard
Updated Dashboard

You will immediately notice from the screenshots of the legacy and updated dashboards that the widget layout is quite different as are the navigation menus for the plugin. Most notable is a new Subscriber Funnel graph that provides you with quick links to the most used settings for onboarding, such as email templates, and security settings.

We will cover these new widgets and some other exciting new features in a subsequent post. For now let’s get oriented to the new interface.

Plugin Menus

Updated Menu

The updates to this menu are mainly in the ordering of items, although All Subscribers takes the place of the Search And Edit option in the legacy menu. Additionally, there is a new entry for setting Unsubscription options which will be detailed in an upcoming post.

Legacy Menu

Search And Edit has been replaced by All Subscribers, but the link still leads to the Subscriber management page.

Be on the lookout for future post new features such as 2-step Unsubscribe, Form Integrations, and a Leads feature for managing popups and other CTA. Please reach out to us at ops@our-hometown.com to learn more!
