Recalling the recent update on deprecating a few features in Zoho Campaigns

Hello customers and partners,

Hope you are fine. We had announced in our recent post that we are removing a few features as they were either redundant or had very less usage. The goal was to:
  1. Have a clear positioning of both Campaigns and MarketingHub to help users decide between the two
  2. Improve the UX of Campaigns by removing redundant features
  3. Streamline the product in order to facilitate smooth migration from Campaigns to MarketingHub for those who need with all data intact when we release the 2.0 version of Hub.
Looking back after hearing your feedback, we realize we made a mistake in doing this at this point of time and without giving enough notice to our users.

We will roll back this update of Campaigns early next week. These features will continue to exist in Campaigns. Once we release the new version of MarketingHub and once we provide smooth migration paths, we will revisit this decision.

Yes, we should have done better, we should have communicated well and provided adequate time to our users. My sincere apologies for this. We will be mindful hereafter. Thank you for understanding.

Regards
Ramesh
Head of Product Management, Campaigns and MarketingHub

                                                              Today's marketers not only want their email marketing to be efficient, but also smart. For an email campaign, you may think you have all the essential elements for lead conversion—a big mailing list, an attractive template design, and the most-engaging message content, but after hitting the ‘send’ button, you may not get the expected conversions. Wondering why? Here’s one of the major reasons. Many marketers miss out on sending the email campaign the right way. Did you know that you should not be

                                                              In today's market, the importance of customer behavior is astounding, with a vast amount of research and resources going into finding how customers make decisions. The process of persuading your customers to open your email and click on your call-to-action becomes easy when you understand the psychology behind their behavioral traits. Time to turn into a psychologist! Let's get to the basics—you want your emails to resonate well with your recipients. So, what's the primary thing involved here? It's

Email marketing encompasses a wide variety of topics spanning everything from creation and design to development and deliverability.  Here's when we from the Zoho Campaigns team found the need to build an email marketing community comprising of seasoned marketers and email geeks who can help each other

                                                              In the last post, we learned about the subject line. Today we'll be learning about the preheader. A preheader is the short text that follows the subject line in an email. The preheader is designed to hint at what your email message is all about. A good preheader should act as a second subject line and convince your contacts to open the email. Now, let's learn the best way to craft a preheader. Your subject line and preheader should work together and accurately convey the gist of your email. Keep

                                                              If crafting content for emails, getting creatives done, and running email campaigns is your love, then unsubscribes are the heartbreakers.  You can save your emails from being unsubscribed/trashed by adding a proper subscription-preferences option in your emails (works best at the time of signup). Giving subscribers the option to choose what they want to receive from you and decide how often (frequency of the emails) your emails should hit their inboxes will increase the reach of your campaigns manifolds.

                                                                                                                We recommend to introduce a provision at PO to make advance payment to vendors and auto apply that advance paid later at the time of Vendor Bill submission for that PO. This will help us track PO-wise Total Payments.

Is there any option in Zoho Books to: Convert a customer invoice into a purchase bill, or Link/associate

The API documentation indicates this is possible by providing the Template ID, but it is not clear at all how to get a list of available Project Templates
