When will this be added? This great idea was posted over 2 years ago and everyone seemed to love it, myself included!

Hello. I'm wondering if Constant Contact has come up with a way to deal with Apple's new ability allowing its user to block tracking by email senders. I'm not sure if they have launched this yet, but Apple users will be able to disable pixels. If they do this, we won't be able to tell if our emails are opened or not. This could definitely cause open rates to drop and could cause issues with resending emails to non-openers. This is recent news, but hopefully it is something the Constant Contact team will come up with a solution for.

It would wonderful if the Constant Contact team was able to put together some new features and design tools for emails. I had a couple ideas for design tools that would allow Constant Contact users to be more creative and create beautiful emails. Gradients. Personally, I would see myself using a gradient for the inner background and text backgrounds, but I'm sure there could be countless ways to customize emails with the use of gradients. The single color is limiting and eventually emails start to look the same. A gradient option could help us stand out in the inbox. Shadows. Being able to put a shadow on a text box, behind a logo, etc. would make a huge difference. I would absolutely love this little addition. I'm not sure how much technical work it would take to add these features, but they would make designing emails much more exciting for me personally. Perhaps its my lack of creativity right now, but the emails I've been creating lately have started to all look the same.

Previously, I was always able to click the 'Download Pictures' options at the top of my emails from Constant Contact to see the pictures within an email. As of about 2 weeks ago, this stopped working. It seems something has changed with the connection to Constant Contact because I don't have this issue when receiving emails from other people, companies, services, etc. I've gone through my email settings with our IT department and they were unable to find a solution. I've also gone through the suggested solution articles from Constant Contact here, here and here. The only thing I have not done is safelist Constant Contact's IP addresses. I will be working with my IT department to try this today, but I am wondering if there is any other solution to this problem? Any help would be appreciated.

I don't believe there is currently a feature in the reporting section that shows when your contacts are opening your emails. It doesn't have to be an exact time like it shows on each individual contact. It could be hourly. Just something that helps show the optimal times to be sending emails. Of course, I could just experiment and send emails at all times of the day until I find what works best for open rates, but having a feature that showed what time most people are opening my emails would be very beneficial. I believe most major social media platforms have similar features. I know Instagram and Facebook show the times when your followers are most active which helps give you a better idea of when to post. I'm thinking CC could implement something similar.

This is actually EXACTLY what I'm looking for. We have an automation campaign running a welcome email but I totally forgot about it! This will work perfectly. Thank you Kyle and Amber!

This is very helpful! I think I have one last thing to figure out that I don't think I've explained yet. Some of the contacts that I'm adding to this list, the list that I want people to filter out of after 6 months, some of them will have been in our database for a while already. So, creating a segment based on Date Added wouldn't pick them all up. The contacts that we are adding have recently sent in paperwork to do business with us. I guess I shouldn't have been calling them leads, but we are not yet making any money with/from them. So, the idea is to add these contacts to a list and send them welcome emails and informational stuff to get them more familiar with our company, basically to get them to start doing business with us now that they have their paperwork in. With that said, some of these contacts will have been in our database for years before they finally send in their paperwork. Then, they will be added to this list that I'm calling 'Recent Conversions'. For that reason, I don't think I can create a segment using the 'Date Added' criteria. If there was a way to create a segment based on the date a contact was tagged or added to a specific list, that would be perfect for my situation. Let me know if you have any other clever workarounds. You've been very helpful so far!

Hi Amber, Thank you very much for your response. I'm looking forward to your engineers implementing the new feature. I have started playing around with segments recently. I like your idea, but I'm not seeing an option to remove the segment from a list. I only see that I have the ability to add to a list. I appreciate your help with this!

CristinaC958 · ‎12-10-2020

I'm wondering if there is already an ability to keep contacts in a list for a set period of time. Let's say I have brand new contacts or leads that I want to put in a list and send specific emails to. Then, after 6 months or a year, I want to move them out of that list so they only receive my other emails. Being able to put contacts into a type of funnel like this would be ideal. We are B2B and some companies that I'd like to put in this type of automated list have 100's of contacts that I'd have to manually remove one-by-one. Please let me know if someone has an idea of how to help me accomplish this, or maybe Constant Contact can add this feature soon! Thanks

Today I decided to add a chunk of legitimate emails and all of a sudden we are locked out from sending any emails. I understand the reasoning but the process is awful. It certainly makes me want to leave CC. Why punish those of us who are running a business and have been sending legit emails for years? I see tons of complaints on this thread, but no responses with promises to fix this.

Hello, I am trying to have an image be the same width as my email, which I've always been able to do. When I drag the image in the email and make it as big wide as the email, it shrinks down when I hit preview or send a test. Again, I have the image as wide as the email - how I want it - but when I preview my email or send a test, it shrinks down a bit and does not fill up the email which looks bad. Is there any fix to this? Update: I had to crop the image in photoshop to get it to fit how I want it to. Seems like it might have been the new image editor that caused this issue.

CristinaC958 · ‎01-11-2019

Hi Adrienne, Do you have an update on more editing options? This would be really useful. Thank you!

CristinaC958 · ‎01-11-2019

It would be great to have more customization options with the survey. I.e. changes the text in the buttons, size of buttons, if/what window pops up when they press a button, and just the overall layout of the question and answer options.
