What’s New in Constant Contact!

We know you're juggling a lot, so we're constantly devising new ways to take the stress out of marketing. Check out our list of recent feature updates below!

Making email easier

Email templates are now easier to select, with options that match your brand's style or are specific to your industry. You can also view templates you've recently used or that match the season. Quickly glance at the selection curated for you, and choose the perfect template in just a few clicks.

Improved drag and drop functionality with sections

Sections are full-width structures that allow users to group content in an email. By grouping blocks and layouts in a section, users can apply more styles to multiple blocks at once or, move the section around their template with one click.

Enhancing social, SMS and event capabilities

Let AI assist you with your next social post

Stop staring at the screen wondering what to write when you can use AI to create engaging social content. It’s just a few clicks! Allow our AI tool to summarize the content of your last email and suddenly you have an engaging caption for your social post. Or, type in a few words and create a stand-alone post when you click “Write with AI.” Choose from three captions or tweak what you see to get your message just right. 

Pick up where left off when registering for SMS
