5.2.1

• 🙈 Anonymous email tracking

  As email tracking has become sensitive topic of late because of privacy concerns, some users have reached out on wanting to respect the privacy of their subscribers whom they send emails to, while at the same time continue to track the effectiveness of their campaigns with basic statistics like open and click rates.

  Hence, in addition to 'Yes' or 'No' for open and click tracking, Sendy now offers you a third option to track opens and clicks 'Anonymously':

  

  When you set your campaign or autoresponder to track opens and clicks 'Anonymously', opens and clicks will continue to be tracked, however, these data will NOT be attributed to the recipients who opened and/or clicked them.

  In the campaign or autoresponder reports, statistics for open and click rates are still visible, but you will not be able to see exactly who opened or clicked them. You'll not be able to export CSVs of subscribers who opened or clicked and do any re-targeting on them. In other words, subscribers who opened or clicked your email will remain anonymous, protecting their privacy.

• ⚙️ Set default tracking options

  You will be able to set your default email tracking preference in the brand settings so that new campaigns and autoresponders you create will default to your preferred setting.

Or manually set any custom width you’d like to view your newsletter in.

  

• A unique secret hash is now used for the authentication session cookie

• 🌙 Dark mode!

  

  

  Sendy now has a dark theme! You can now set the interface of Sendy to a dark appearance by clicking a button in the footer or setting it in your main settings. Or use a keyboard shortcut Ctrl+g to toggle between dark and light appearance. Visit the new online demo to try it out!

This makes it easy to send future email campaigns to subscribers who interacted (or did not interact) with your email(s).

  For instance, you can easily import people who opened your campaign into a new list with one click. Then send another campaign to the same lists, but this time, use the 'Exclude' feature to exclude the list that contains people who already opened your previous campaign - essentially sending only to people who 'did not open'.

• Fixed some PHP notices

3.0.9.1

• The new ‘shortened’ unsubscribe, web version and re-consent links introduced from version 3.0.8 may not work reliably for some users. Hence, these links are now reverted to original in this quick update.

3.0.9

• Updating data of existing subscribers with CSV import

  When importing a CSV, data of existing subscribers in the list will now be 'updated' instead of 'skipped'. For example if you want to update names or any custom fields of multiple subscribers in the list, you can import a CSV and Sendy will update any names or custom fields accordingly. Or if you want to tag existing subscribers with the 'GDPR' tag, you can import your CSV while selecting the checkbox "Apply GDPR tag to imported subscribers?".

• Re-consent confirmation page text,'Marketing permission' and 'What to expect' strings can now be translated
• Brand users can now edit GDPR and other miscellaneous settings

• Added ‘EU’ country abbreviation to list of countries to verify for ‘subscribe’ API
• Deletion of a brand now removes all associated segments, autoresponders and Zapier web hooks.
• Fixed Autoresponder web version and unsubscribe links
• Prevent brand users from accessing ‘new brand’ and ‘edit brand’ pages

3.0.8

• New segmentation options!

  You can now create segments based on GDPR, Country and Referrer data! If you're sending re-permission campaigns and you want to send another campaign to remind your subscribers to opt-in, you can create a segment of your list that still do not have the GDPR tag (users who did not click the re-consent buton).
  

• GDPR safe switch now separate for Campaigns & Autoresponders

  The ‘GDPR safe switch’ can now be set separately for ‘Campaigns’ and/or ‘Autoresponders’ in the brand settings. Which means you can now set whether you want future ‘Campaigns’ or ‘Autoresponders (or both) to send only to subscribers tagged with ‘GDPR’.
  

• Links are now shorter

  All trackable links, web version, unsubscribe, re-subscribe, re-consent links are now significantly shorter and more secure.

• Fixed subscribe API not returning Already subscribed if no gdpr parameter is passed into the call.
• Changed compatibility checklist to reflect version 5.3 as the minimum required PHP version
• Added ‘int’ type cast to a GET variable in the functions file (Hat tip GUIA Brahim Fouad)
• Changed title tag of reconsent-success.php to ‘Your reconsent tag is working’

3.0.7

• New GDPR features!

  This update introduces lots of new GDPR related features.

  The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union. The GDPR regulation affects anyone in the world who collect and process the personal data of EU users. If you collect and process data of EU users, Sendy's GDPR features will be useful to you.

  The GDPR regulation kicks in on May 25, 2018.

• GDPR friendly subscribe forms

  You now have an option to enable GDPR fields for your subscribe forms. This applies to both the ‘Ready-to-use subscribe form’ and the embeddable ‘Subscribe form HTML code’.

  In the same window where you retrieve the forms from a list, there is an option to enable GDPR fields. Some users collect data of EU users, some do not, so this is an option.
  

  The GDPR fields includes text areas for ‘Marketing permission’ and ‘What to expect’ so that you can inform users in the subscribe forms of what they are signing up for and what you’re going to do with the information they submit. Suggested language will be pre-populated in the text areas to make it easier for you to modify it to better suit your business.

  On either subscribe forms, subscribers will see these information including an unticked consent checkbox. They're required to check the ‘Consent’ checkbox in order to subscribe.

  Subscribers who have signed up in a GDPR compliant manner either through the ‘Ready-to-use subscribe form’ or the embeddable ‘Subscribe form HTML code’ will be tagged with a ‘GDPR’ label.
  
  

• GDPR subscriber tagging

  If you are using the ‘subscribe’ API to signup users programmatically, there is a new parameter called gdpr where you can set it to true if you are signing up users in a GDPR compliant manner. This will tag the subscriber with a 'GDPR' label.

  If you're importing CSVs or using the 'Add name and email per line' method, you have an option to tag all imported subscribers with a 'GDPR' label.
  

• Send re-permission campaigns

  You can now easily send re-permission campaigns to make your lists compliant with GDPR - without having to do anything complicated. A new tag named [reconsent] is now available for use with your email campaigns. This tag will convert into a re-consent link when your campaign is sent to your subscribers. When the re-consent link is clicked, the subscriber will be tagged with ‘GDPR’.

  The following is an example of how you can use the new [reconsent] tag in your email campaign:

  <a href="[reconsent]">Click here to continue receiving emails 
  				from us</a>

  All subscribers who clicked this link will be tagged with ‘GDPR’.

  In future, you can enable the ‘GDPR safe switch’ (see below) in your brand settings so that Campaigns and Autoresponders will only send to subscribers tagged with ‘GDPR’.

• GDPR safe switch

  What can you do with subscribers who are tagged with a 'GDPR' label? In your brands settings, you can set Campaigns & Autoresponders to send to only subscribers tagged with 'GDPR' label. This will prevent you from accidentally sending emails to subscribers who did not signup to your list in a GDPR compliant manner.
  

  Also as seen in the screenshot above, you can set whether you want to see any GDPR options at all. If you don't store or process data of EU users, you can uncheck the GDPR options checkbox.

• GDPR tab and data management

  In each subscriber list, a new tab named ‘GDPR’ (alongside existing tabs like Active, Unconfirmed, Unsubscribed etc) will appear if there are any subscribers tagged with a 'GDPR' label. You can filter or export CSV of subscribers in this new tab.
  

  CSV exports will also now include a new column named ‘GDPR’ reflecting ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ depending on whether the subscriber is tagged with ‘GDPR’

  When you delete a subscriber, you now have an option to delete the subscriber from ‘this list only’ or ‘ALL lists in the brand’. This will cater to the user's 'Right to erasure'.
  

• Two new columns are added in the ‘View all lists’ page which shows the number of ‘Segments’ and ‘Autoresponders’ created for each list. Clicking on the number takes you straight to the ‘Segmentation’ or ‘Autoresponders’ page respectively for the list.
  
• Subscribe API now uses filter_var instead of ip2long to verify IP address input to support both ipv4 and ipv6 IP addresses
• Updated the design of the default double opt-in confirmation email
• Improved cron job setup instructions

• Any email addresses that are bounced in any lists or brands will not be able to re-subscribe via the ‘subscribe’ API

3.0.6

• In addition to 'Campaigns' and 'Autoresponders, you can now use [Name,fallback=], [Email] or any custom fields as personalization tags in ‘Thank you’, ‘Double opt-in confirmation’ and ‘Goodbye’ emails set in your list settings.
  
  You can also use [unsubscribe] or <unsubscribe></unsubscribe> tags in your ‘Thank you’ email as well as [resubscribe] or <resubscribe></resubscribe> tags in your ‘Goodbye’ emails set in list settings.
  
• You can now set the number of rows to display in the campaigns or reports page in each brand’s settings.
  
• You can now set a default URL query string (eg. Google Analytics UTM parameters) in your brand settings. When you create a new campaign or autoresponder, the ‘Query string’ field will be automatically filled with this default string (which can be edited or removed if you wish).
  
• Double opt-in confirmation email will be re-sent when an ‘unsubscribed’ user attempts to re-subscribe to a double opt-in list
• Double opt-in confirmation emails will not be re-sent if one had already been sent within an hour ago
• Subscription form will now show ‘You’re already subscribed’ when submitting an email that already exists in the list even if you have set a ‘Subscribe success page’ URL in the list settings
• The Campaigns > Create API now supports passing in segment IDs to send your campaign to. It also supports passing in list and segment IDS to ‘exclude’ from your campaigns.
• CSV exports from lists now includes subscription statuses like ‘Unsubscribed’, ‘Bounced’, ‘Marked as spam’ and ‘Unconfirmed’ for your data sorting needs
• Sendy will now send a ‘Password reset link’ prior to resetting the password when using the ‘Forgot password’ function on the login page. Only upon clicking the ‘Password reset link’ in the email sent to the requester will the password be reset.

• Added stylesheet to compatibility checklist for better visuals

3.0.5

• Sendy now captures subscribers’ IP address, country, referrer data and opt-in method when signing up via Sendy’s subscription forms.
  
  When you use Sendy’s subscription form’s HTML code or the subscription URL, IP address, country, referrer URL of where the subscription form is hosted and the opt-in method will be captured. These data are useful as evidence of a user explicitly signing up and giving you permission to send them emails should any dispute arise in future. Not only is storage of these information valuable to everyone in general, it is also useful for those who’re getting ready for the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If you're using the 'subscribe' API, you can also pass in ipaddress, country and referrer data into the API call. These new data will show up in the subscriber's modal window as well as CSVs exported from the subscribers' page or the campaign report.
• Sendy now takes advantage of Amazon SES's new Custom Verification Email Templates API. Previously, when initializing an Amazon SES verification process for any ‘From email’ address that have not been verified, Amazon sends you a verification email with their branding. Sendy now sends the verification email using a custom template without Amazon’s branding. If you use Sendy’s white label features for your clients, this enables brand users to use any ‘From email’ they want when logged in to their own account as verification emails are no longer branded with Amazon’s message and logo.
• Sendy will now initiate the Amazon SES verification process for your ‘login email address’ when you’re at the ‘brands’ page. Just click the verification email you receive from Amazon to complete the verification. Having your login email address verified enables password reset emails to be sent to you successfully via Amazon SES. Also, the above new custom verification email templates feature uses your login email address to send verification emails, hence it has to be verified.
• New option in brand settings to indicate if you’d like to receive ‘Campaign sent’ email notifications to your main account’s login email address when campaigns are sent from a brand. ‘Campaign sent’ email notifications will still be sent to the ‘From email’ address that’s used to send out the campaign irregardless of this setting.
• Added rel="noreferrer" to all links in the web version of your email newsletter so that the web version’s URL cannot be picked up by analytics software when any of the links are clicked. More info here. Thanks Graham Cluley for the tip.

3.0

• List Segmentation is here!
  

  Research shows sending emails to targeted segments not only improves open and click through rates, revenue can increase by more than 25%. Sendy now enables you to create dynamic segments for any list. Filter subscribers from any list based on conditions you define using default fields like ‘name’ and ‘email’ or any of your custom fields. Create multiple conditions and group them using ‘AND’ and ‘OR’ for each segment. Once you’ve created your segments, you can send targeted email campaigns to these segments in addition to lists. You can even choose segments to ‘exclude’ from your sends. Sendy just got really powerful!

• ‘Exclude list’ feature!
  

  You can now select which list(s) you want to exclude from your email campaign. A good use case would be - say you want to send an email campaign to your ‘Prospects’ list. However, some subscribers from the ‘Customers’ list may exist in that list as well. Now you can exclude the ‘Customers’ list so that anyone from this list that may appear in the ‘Prospects’ list will not receive your email campaign.

• More brand user privileges!
  

  You want to have full control of what your client can or cannot access, now you can. Set whether the brand user can access campaigns, templates, lists & subscribers or campaign reports.

• The custom ‘Unsubscribe confirmation page’ URL in list settings now has a new variable %s that converts into a full ‘re-subscribe’ URL. For example if you set an ‘Unsubscribe confirmation page’ URL for your list like http://domain.com/unsubscribed/?resubscribe_url=%s, you can include a ‘Re-subscribe’ link in your page that uses the resubscribe_url GET parameter’s value as the re-subscribe URL.
• Implemented honeypot for subscription forms to prevent spambot signups
• The 'totals' shown on screen when selecting multiple lists in the ‘Define recipients’ page are now calculated using a MySQL query
• Changed scheduling calendar to a new and improved date picker
• Links that starts with ‘ftp://' are now excluded from link tracking alongside ‘mailto://', ‘tel://' and ‘sms://'.
• Show more helpful information when all types of autoresponders have been created
• If a user signs up to a double opt in list with an email address that ‘Bounced’ or ‘Marked as spam’ and attempts to signup with the same email address again, the double opt-in confirmation email will not be re-sent. The same email address will show up as ‘Bounced’ or ‘Marked as spam’ instead of ‘Unconfirmed’ in the list.

• Fixed blank 'unsubscribe' and 'double opt-in' page due to the last update

2.1.1

  • Send an email to subscribe a user to a list
  • Unsubscribe a user from a list when subscribed to another (essentially moving the subscriber between lists)
  • Create a draft campaign ready to send when you publish a new post in your blog (RSS to Email)
  • Tweet automatically after your campaign is sent
  • And many more limited only by your imagination!

  Note

  As part of Zapier's process of being listed in their official app directory, Sendy is currently in "Invite-only" mode. That means you'd need to visit this "Invite Link" in order to use Sendy integration in your Zapier account.

  Sendy is now officially on Zapier! That means anyone can use Sendy on Zapier without requiring an invite link.

1.1.3

• Changed queuing method. Each email record in the queue will be marked as sent when sent instead of deleting the email record. The entire queue for a particular campaign will only be deleted once all emails are sent. Also added a conditional statement to check if an email already exist in queue before adding. These measures are to doubly ensure no duplicates will be sent in all cases.

• Apart from already checking for duplicates, Sendy now checks for invalid emails as well when importing via CSV or per line
• Automatically set timezone of drop down menu in 'Define recipients' page to the timezone set in Settings so you don't have to keep selecting it each time you schedule an email
• Subscribe form and API now returns Already subscribed. if email is already subscribed and 'active' in the list. You may want to adjust your existing code to handle this new output. If you're worried that the subscribe form and API previously don't check for duplicates, don't worry, it does. Just that it doesn't output Already subscribed. previously. Now it does!

1.1.0

  Multiple emails are sent in parallel according to your SES send rate resulting in huge improvements to sending speed.
• Auto resume
  Especially for BIG senders, sending will automatically resume even if your server times out. Just make sure cron is set up.
