We launched a new node for Automation Pro to help you save time! Our Jump To node can jump contacts going through your automation from one point to another.

For example, let’s say you wanted a contact to be pushed to a new list once they finally opened an email, rather than creating the same nodes over and over, you can use the Jump To node to push them to the new list once they’ve finally opened the original email.

You read that right! Our team launched a new fully embedded signup form, and the best news yet, it has all of the same functionalities as the classic signup form.

The Full Embedded form has replaced our Classic Signup Form in the new interface, but don’t worry if you were previously using a classic form, the signup form itself is not affected.

Some things to note:

1. The Full Embed form is not available for clients using our old interface.
2. You will not be able to create a new form using the Classic Signup form option, in the new interface. However, you can duplicate a previously used classic form.
3. The Classic Signup form is only available to users using our old interface.
4. The new Full Embedded form is GDPR Compliant.

If you haven’t already created a signup form, do so today!

You asked, and our team provided. Many clients have asked for an easy way to add contacts directly from the dashboard, and our team has added a button to allow this.

-All contact lists are subject to list verification.

Over the past weeks, our team has quietly been working on a new feature, Contact Rating. As of today, this feature is now available for all Benchmark users. ?
