Has a new default interface been implemented in Constant Contact when campaigns are sent?  This week when I sent out a campaign, instead of the usual UI a calendar was brought up and the UI compressed all the important information into a window that cuts off important text and buries critical functions under menu tabs. Â
Or is this a different view setting that has been changed on our account? (Other people have access to our account and they may have changed a setting)
New Send Interface or changed setting?
Hi Richard,
My name is Kyle and I'm one of the Product Managers here at Constant Contact. We've been working on a new Scheduling page that unifies the scheduling experience across Emails, Social Posts, and SMSes (with more to come). One of the goals of the new experience is to make sure that customers can see their other marketing activities when deciding when to send, hence the calendar.
Right now, any account that has used our Campaign Builder feature also has access to the new Scheduling UI. I suspect that's why you're seeing it!
We've been working on some updates in response to your post and other feedback we've been hearing from customers over the last three weeks. There is an update going out tonight (June 24th) that makes the Scheduling modal wider and improves how some of the content is displayed. We've also added:
Desktop and Mobile previews for Emails
Updates to where the Calendar loads (so you'll always be looking at the current day or whatever you're scheduling)
Changes to the individual cards on the Calendar to make them less "noisy"
Lots of improvements to how searching and selecting Lists works
Our next update is scheduled around July 8th, and will include:
Performance improvements
"Narrow by tag" support
The ability to add new contacts directly from the Scheduling modal
Contact counts in Lists
Lots of other small tweaks and adjustments
If there's any other feedback you want to provide, feel free to reply in the thread here and I'll do my best to address what I can in an upcoming release.
