What’s New in Postscript: July 2023 Product Updates
July was a historic month here at Postscript. We announced the acquisition of Fondue, launched SIX new integration partnerships, hosted The Text Factor, and, of course, brought our beloved custies a handful of new features to rave about all summer long.
Let’s dive in!
Action Required: Add a Customer Contact Phone Number in your Account Settings
There is a rise in demand letters and lawsuits related to a piece of Florida legislation requiring the ability to call a phone number that sends automated promotional text messages.
We are proactively working to keep our customers compliant so we’ve added the ability for subscribers to call a shop's US toll free number and have it routed to their customer support line or other designated number. If your brand receives or has received a demand letter, contact our team.
What does this mean for you? Please ensure you have updated your customer contact phone number in your account settings.
Here's where you can learn more.
View or Restore a Previous Version of an Automation Flow
Within Flow Builder, you can view and restore a flow's version history. By visualizing how an automation flow has changed over time, you can assess the impact of those changes on metrics in order to optimize performance more effectively. This feature is currently being rolled out to 100% of our shops over the coming weeks.
If you’d like to activate this feature today, contact your Customer Success Manager or contact our support team.
Orchestrate a More Personalized and Contextual SMS Strategy with Date-Triggered Automation Flows
Collect meaningful dates from subscribers such as anniversaries and birthdays, then store that information in subscriber profiles. To scale a personalized SMS strategy, you can use that custom data to send date-triggered automations to subscribers. This feature is currently being rolled out to 100% of our shops over the coming weeks.
