Get ready. Are you sitting down? We’re thrilled to announce a handful of killer new features! “MORE new features?!” Yes…more. Why? Because we care.

Subdomains for all!
Now every account gets its own unique tracking domain! You can even set your own custom domain if you want. This feature makes for a more fully-branded experience for your prospects and customers, and improves our already industry-leading inbox delivery rates!  Learn more.

SubID tracking for your affiliates
Supercharge your affiliate program by letting your affiliates track which of their promotions are driving the most traffic, leads and sales. This is especially useful for advanced affiliates who may want to purchase ads to drive traffic, since this new data gives them the confidence to spend more on the ads that are performing and ditch those that aren’t. Learn more.

New Affiliate Center Interface
Oh snap! If you’re using our affiliate management features (or if you’re one of our affiliates) then you’re stoked because your affiliate center just got a facelift! We redesigned it so it’s more user-friendly and easier for your affiliates to get the exact data they’re looking for.

Now, affiliates can indicate a specific date range for which they’d like to see stats, and viola, they see separate report for commissions, clawbacks (refunds), and payments that happened during that range. Plus, now your affiliates can export their stats as a CSV file for better record-keeping and tracking. Learn more

New ‘Standard Link’ promo tool for affilates
This is a brand new kind of affiliate link that, when clicked, redirects clickers through your new tracking domain: https://yourcompanyname.ontraport.net or through your custom domain if you’ve got one set up, which is awesome because it makes it so that if you need to change the URL you want to promote on the fly, you can easily do so and all your affiliates’ links will still work as normal! Learn more.

New Pixel Tracking (use Affiliate Management features with a third-party cart)
Now, OfficeAutopilot clients who use a third-party shopping cart but who want to use our Affiliate Management features can! Learn more.

UTF – 8 Support
Now you can write emails, landing pages, postcards and more in any language you like and all those foreign characters will work fine! Learn more!

Phone number verification
Now, the system validates phone numbers into one of two formats: US phones and international phones, reformatting the digits into the standard format for each. This keeps things consistent in your database, saves you time and effort, and even allows VOIP integrations (like Skype click-to-dial) to recognize your phone numbers as phone numbers and call them with a click from within the contact record.  Learn more!

As always, thanks for your continued business. We appreciate you so much!

Cheers,
Team OfficeAutopilot & SendPepper

Our email message creator just got a little bit more sophisticated. We’ve added the ability to add header tags to your emails. A lot of you will read this and say, “what in blazes does that mean? I’m a business owner not a wizard!” That’s because this feature’s a tad advanced, but you coders, web designers, and do it yourselfers out there will crack a satisfied smile.

In the past, you had to declare all of your styling inline, meaning you had to code all of your email elements (such as images, paragraphs, and virtually any other element in a newsletter) piece by piece in the email body editor. Let’s say you were creating an email newsletter and wanted to add 10 pixels of space below each image within. Well no need to adjust each individual image in the email manually anymore. Now you can declare this once in the HTML header and it will apply to all images. How’s that for a load off?

The benefits of this feature include:

• declare styling for all similar elements within the body of your email instead of line by line
• use advanced workarounds or design fixes for incompatibility issues
• migrate emails from other providers at breakneck speeds
• have much greater control over the final look of your templates

As mentioned in the feature benefits above, this addition is especially helpful when migrating newsletters from other softwares into OfficeAutopilot because you no longer need to tediously recode them line by line to make them work.  No more feelings of immense frustration that would normally cause you to drop kick your computer into the depths of oblivion. Just move your existing head section to our new head section… and you are golden like the sun on a mid-summer day in Vegas.

Also, we can now properly address the far-too-common scenario of the epic state of disaster that occurs when you try to get Outlook 2007 / 2010 to display your newsletter designs properly. It used to be near impossible to make background images appear without recoding your template multiple times with standards from the stone age. However, with the new ability to place extra code in the head section of your email, you can stem the tide by using an awesome workaround as specified here.

I know… it doesn’t seem that rad if you haven’t had or been aware of these issues before, however, let us tell you, this is a big win for all!
