JangoMail for Salesforce official release

JangoMail for Salesforce has been certified by salesforce.com and is now officially on the AppExchange.

A press release will be sent to media outlets this morning, and and we'll be sending an email announcement to all of our clients later this week.

Visual Metrics Now in Click Tracking

JangoMail's latest enhancement to Super Reporting adds greater visibility to your Click Tracking metrics. With our new Visual Overlay Option, you can see your tracking results visually superimposed on top of your sent message.

Open and Click Tracking Now Capture IP

JangoMail has enhanced the raw data captured along with both Open and Click Tracking features. Effective 5/19/2008, your raw data reports will show the IP address from which the recipient opened or clicked his/her message.

This is how Opens will look in Reporting:



This is how Clicks will appear in Reporting:

Historical Tracking Now Available for Group Members

Want to know what you've sent to a particular recipient recently? Have they opened or clicked links in your messages?

With our new Historical Tracking feature, you can now see your activity history for an individual address stored in a JangoMail Group.

To pull up the history go to Groups and E-mail Addresses and select your Group. Within the Group, select the desired address to display that subscriber's details in the right hand panel. At the top of the details screen, click to View historical tracking information for this person.

The detailed report will display to show you the 30 day history. You can use the dropdown to go back 60 and even 90 days for the recipient.

API enhancement allows sending email campaign with on-the-fly personalization data

We have enhanced the "Send" API methods to allow you to pass in on-the-fly personalization data, along with email addresses. Therefore you can now send a personalized email campaign in one single method call without sending to a JangoMail Group.

Traditionally, when using the API to send a personalized email campaign, you would have to first create a Group with AddGroup, then add or import members to the Group with AddGroupMember or ImportGroupMembersFromData, and then send to the Group with SendMassEmail. You can still do this if you prefer, but now there's an easier way as well. The following methods are affected:

SendMassEmail
Sends a mass e-mail with a plain text and/or HTML e-mail. Returns a string.

SendMassEmailPrevious2
New method. Sends a previously saved mass e-mail to a new set of recipients. Returns a string.

SendMassEmailRaw
Sends a mass e-mail, given a raw message including MIME parts and a MIME boundary. Returns a string.

To pass in personalization data, use the ToOther input parameter to pass in the actual set of data. The set of data can be in comma-separated form or in any other row and column delimited format that you choose. You may use whatever row and comma delimiter you like for the data in ToOther. The ToOther parameter should only contain the data, and not the field names for the data.

Use the Options input parameter to specify the field names and the row and column delimiters for the data in ToOther. The Options parameter is a comma-delimited list of attribute/value pairs. The attributes relevant to this feature are:

ToOtherRowDelimiter
ToOtherColDelimiter
ToOtherFieldNames

You can use "c" to represent a comma and "s" to represent a space. The ToOtherFieldNames attribute must be a pipe (¦) delimited list of field names corresponding to the data in ToOther.

Let's do an example!

I want to send a personalized email campaign to 3 people, and I want to use First Name and Last Name as additional personalization data.

ToOther=
John,Smith,john@smith.com¦David,Gary,david@gary.com¦Sheila,
Panther,sheila@panther.com

Options=
ToOtherRowDelimiter=¦,ToOtherColDelimiter=c,
ToOtherFieldNames=FirstName¦LastName¦EmailAddress

Subject=
Hello %%FirstName%%

Message=
Hello %%FirstName%% %%LastName%% -- your email address is %%EmailAddress%%

JangoMail for Salesforce is here!

Our long-awaited integration with Salesforce is complete.

If you have a JangoMail account and want to install it into your Salesforce account, you can Get It Now.

This is a private link because we're not officially listed on the Salesforce AppExchange yet, but we will be in 2-3 weeks after they review and certify us.

If you don't yet have a JangoMail account, you can create one for free once you install "JangoMail for Salesforce" into your Salesforce account.

For now, this will only work if you have the Enterprise or Unlimited editions of Salesforce. After we become officially listed on the AppExchange, even Professional edition users can use our integration.
