Here at Omnisend, our Teams develop the product regularly, and new features and improvements are released weekly.

In this article, you will find essential information related to the recent releases that will help you optimize your marketing with Omnisend even more!

New Email Builder

  • Add videos to your emails with the new Email Builder 🎥. To add a Video to your email, you first need to add a Layout, one column, for example, and then select Video from the Quick-add menu and add it to the layout. We will automatically convert it to the thumbnail and will even generate a GIF cover for YouTube videos.

  • Reorder products quickly in the product list. There's no longer a need to reselect items in a particular order and struggle with reapplying designs - just simply move products in the list to reorder them.

  • Reorder images and items within the layout. Drag&drop the item where you'd like to place it within the layout.

  • All your saved blocks in the classic Email Builder can now be found as Saved layouts in the new Email Builder.

  • New text editing menu where all the styling options are stored in one place.

  • Edit images inside the new Email Builder when your current image is missing something or needs a little touch-up. Read more in the dedicated guide.

Segmentation

  • Now you can copy & paste a set of rules within the segment and easily combine similar groups into one segment. This will ease the process of creating segments where you need to use the same rule but with different values.

  • Building segments helper. Now you will see a generated suggestion that goes with your chosen event. This helps to build better segments in a shorter time.

Deliverability

All users must have their phone numbers verified to keep sending SMS messages to the US market according to new marketing regulations. Therefore, we are introducing the productized solution of a Toll-free number verification, which can be found in Store settings → SMS. Read more in the dedicated guide.

Forms

  • Start collecting more information with the dropdown and other fields. Now it's possible to collect any user data you want. Choose any field you wish to (dropdown, date, or input field) →map it to the custom property → name, and options the customer can choose from. This data will be added to the customer profile and can later be used for automations.

  • Collect gender and country data with a dropdown field.
