We now integrate directly with Shopify.

When someone buys from your Shopify store, you'll be able to tag them and subscribe them to sequences, and perform other kinds of automation.

We also have cart abandonment functionality --> this means if someone abandoned their order, you can follow up with them to close the sale.

Previously when creating link click Rules, you were only able to set up the following rules:

• Clicked any link in any email
• Clicked a specific link in a specific broadcast email

We've improved this, so that in addition to the above -- you can now also set up the following rules:

We've released the ability to embed your BirdSend forms as in-content forms within your WordPress posts/page.

First, make sure you are using the latest version of our WordPress plugin.

Then simply go and create/edit a form, and select "In Content" as the form type:

.

After you've customized the design and text, under "Display Trigger" select the option(s) you'd like:

The options available are:

• Top of the post (after title)
• Middle of the post
• After the post
• After every x paragraphs

Or you can also use WordPress shortcode for manual placement.

Note: we also support non-WordPress sites -- for this we give you a HTML snippet that you can place in your site.

You can now embed your BirdSend form as a widget inside your WordPress site.

This means you can put forms on your blog sidebar, footer, etc.

First, make sure you are using the latest version of our WordPress plugin.

Then simply go and create/edit a form, and click "Want to show your form as a WordPress Widget" and follow the easy instruction.

Now on the Contact details page, you'll see the status of the contact -- whether they're unsubscribed or unconfirmed.

Form "display" stats was previously counted correctly only for BirdSend-hosted forms.

This has now been fixed and the stats now work for all types of forms, regardless of BirdSend-hosted forms or not.

We have released direct integration with WooCommerce.

This means you can automatically add WooCommerce customers to your BirdSend account, and then subscribe them to sequences or apply tags to them, etc.

Instructions for WooCommerce integration can be found here

Many of you have been asking for more form types and design and a WordPress plugin.

Guess what?

• Form type 2 -- Welcome screens

Here's a preview of what they look like.

Welcome Screens

You can of course customize the text size and color, button text and color, and background color to your liking. You can also change the image/background.

WordPress Plugin

From this page, simply click the [+New Form] button on the top right. Then follow the easy on-screen prompts.

Though these are forms that you "attach" to your site/blog, they could just as easily be used as lead capture and landing pages.

All you need to do is to go to [Integration] -> [BirdSend Hosted] and get your page URL:

More design templates for the popups and welcome screens will be added soon.

Plus more form types like in-content forms, floating bars, scroll boxes, blog sidebar forms will also be added.
