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.
To learn more about the new Jump To node, please click here.
reCAPTCHA is now available in 3 of our signup forms! reCAPTCHA helps protect your website against spam, abuse, and it can identify the difference between computers and humans.
You can find the new reCAPTCHA feature in the Small Embed, Embedded Form, and Popup signup forms.

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.
When you click on the plus icon an option to add contacts to an existing list will appear, you’ll select your import method, your list and voilà contacts added!
-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. ?
Each contact in your account will have a Star Rating. The rating is based on email engagement. Contacts can have from 0 to 5 Stars.
It gets better! ?
You can segment your list based on contacts rating! Engage with contacts who are genuinely interested in your emails, or re-engage with those who are not.

Now when you create a regular email campaign, you will have the option to select from a list of suggested subject lines previously used organized by how good they performed. This will allow you to craft better subject lines and to keep your open rate improving. Available for all users.
