Updates With This Release
⭐Applies to the New PoliteMail app 🔽 Applies to the Legacy PoliteMail app
New Features
- ⭐🔽 Two independent AI capabilities have been made available in PoliteMail! AI Writing Assistance generates and revises text inside either the PoliteMail Builder or Beefree, and Paige, the PoliteMail Agent creates, sends, and measures Messages and Campaigns through a chat agent.
- ⭐🔽 The Post to SharePoint feature lets you publish a PoliteMail Message to a SharePoint site as a site page. It is designed for sharing or archiving newsletter content with people who have access to the selected SharePoint site.
- ⭐🔽 The Auto Follow-Up feature automatically sends reminder emails to recipients who have not engaged with an original message. It helps improve read and click rates while avoiding additional messages to people who have already read or interacted with the email.
- ⭐🔽 A 'Learn' link has been added to the PoliteMail interfaces to take you directly to our Training page!
- ⭐The new Text Wrap block for Beefree allows you to combine text and an image in one block and have the text wrap around the image seamlessly!
