Tip of the week 06 - Use vCards to improve email deliverability
These days, people are inundated with emails from across brands, and in fact, they get overwhelmed by the sheer number of unread emails in their mailboxes. As a brand that's practicing inbound marketing, you definitely wouldn't want your emails to get buried in your subscriber's cluttered inbox or go unnoticed in their spam folder. One of the best ways to handle this would be, to ask your subscribers to add you to their address books. Whenever someone subscribes to your newsletters/service, as a
Sync limit between CRM Plus and Campaigns
I have been working on cleaning up my sync and managed lists over the last few days. I noticed this afternoon I was down to "5 remaining syncs for this month". A few of my syncs were being done "daily" that didn't need to be done that often so those were changed or deleted. It seemed that last week I still had 39 syncs left for the month. Is that number (5) left a result of those syncs? And when does the month start? My monthly renewal starts of the 13th of each month. Along those lines. . . So my
Tip of the week 68: The specifics of double opt-in method
While configuring your signup form, you have probably seen your software saying, "By default, this signup form is double opt-in enabled." This is because the makers believe that double opt-in has deep-rooted benefits for your email deliverability (read: inbox placement). So in this tip-of-the-week edition, I'm going to share an use case (for double opt-in) that nullifies an otherwise serious problem. Note: Recently, we published a blog explaining: why marketers should prefer double opt-in to
Zoho Campaign Sync limit - 50
Hi, We're new to Zoho Campaign and are using it to sync contacts from Zoho CRM to Zoho Campaigns. We're syncing two main lists - each with about 40 segments. We're syncing these daily, so we're going to hit the 50 syncs/month limit. Is there a way to increase this limit, or to sync every two days? Every week is really too long between syncs, but every 2 days would be sufficient. Thanks Luke

Hello, I would like to know if there's a way to know the bouncing emails (soft and hard) from the campaigns reports from which list so I can easily delete the emails.
Feedback from anyone using fairly large automated workflows... about to set one up.
HI, I'm about to set up an automated workflow containing around 35 emails all delivered a day apart. The plan is to use Zoho Checkout to take a payment, this is integrated with Campaigns and will add the person to a specific list which then kicks off 35 emails over 35 days. Has anyone experience of setting up a flow this large? Anything to watch out for? Does the Zoho Checkout integration kick off an automated workflow? Is there a limit on automation steps or numbers of people within an automation?
Zoho Campaigns - Missing contacts from Synced list (Zoho CRM)
Hi, We've just recently taken out a subscription to Zoho Campaigns, and we've performed an initial sync. After the sync, the number of active contacts didn't match our expectation until we found the "Ignored Contacts" section. In the ignored contacts section, we had contacts blocked under the following areas: File Duplicated - no problems with this Invalid Pattern - we fixed the email address and now that's working Empty Email Addresses - expected behaviour Group Emails - We don't know why these
Reuse a workflow with the same contact
I want to reuse a workflow with a contact who has already used it. Let me explain better, I have a workfloow that is activated when a new contact is entered in a list, when the workflow ends I remove the contact from the list, if the contact sends me a new request then it falls back into the list, this does not start the workflow, is there a way that allows the contact to restart the workflow again?

Pulling a Custom CRM field from a form and adding it into a campaign email - Merge Tag?

Help with Campaigns/Forms
I want to create two forms and embed them into my website, but I'm not sure if I should create them in Campaigns. 1) A Contact Us form that collects info like name, title, company, etc. for people who are interested in our services. I want us to get an email when someone completes the form. However, I don't want the user to get an email asking them to confirm their email subscription, etc. 2) A Register for Event form, but again, I don't want the user to get an email asking them to confirm their
How do I remove a contact from a list, but not from my whole account?
What I REALLY want to do is to move contacts from one list to another. This seems to be impossible -- please tell me if it's possible! -- so the next best thing is to add the contact to a new list and remove it from the former list. I've already figured out how to add a contact to a new list, which can be done from the All Contacts tab. But when I try to remove the contact from the former list, I get a message asking if I want to permanently delete the contact. Obviously I don't want that! So what

Tip of the week 61: Place information above promotion in your newsletters
One of the most common mistakes that marketers make while crafting a newsletter is that they push way too many offers to their subscribers. Instead of being like a nagging salesperson, a newsletter should be more of a well-meaning friend, who is happy to help. When it comes to newsletter content, it is best to have 85% of it dedicated to educational information and the remaining to promotional material - offers that are proud to promote. So, what can you include? Build strong content The trick

Help improve Spam test score (7/10)
I have been using https://www.mail-tester.com/ to check the scores of our newsletter emails. I have worked on improving our score where we can, but there are aspects of the score that we cannot control. It would appear to be related to the way Zoho campaigns builds the emails. For example there is a broken link: [403 - Error : Forbidden] https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Verdana:400,400i,700,700i And also the emails are sent as HTML only. See the error message below. -1.105 MIME_HTML_ONLY Message
