The email workflow used to create emails has been reduced from five steps to three.

• Sentori's editor is now designed for teams, meaning you and your colleagues can be working on the same email, from separate machines, and their changes can be pulled in real-time without overwriting your changes.
• The new editor no longer requires you to go to a separate screen to work; emails are edited directly inside the workflow.
• You can now only edit a single slot at a time. Once you have made your edit, click the tick button to save your changes or the X button to undo them and revert back to the previous content.
• Image slots are edited in the same way as text slots; click on the image, then choose the appropriate option from the toolbar (image manager or link manager).
• The subject line can be set by clicking on it in the white header above the email.
• The sender name and details can be set in the same area.

Email tests are now run on the content step and their results are shown inline; for example, if you have added a broken link to your email Sentori will highlight it in the content with a warning icon.

• To run email tests, click the Test button in the right of the header.

You can switch to layout mode by using the editor mode drop-down menu to the right of the blue Emails Tools button.

• Blocks can now be moved by using drag and drop: hover your mouse over the block's content, then left-click and drag to the location you wish to move it to.
• Blocks cannot be dragged between sections.

Contacts can now selected in advance of sending and Sentori will remember your selection.

• Review your Send Details and then click the widget's top right button labeled Go To Scheduling.
• Ensure that there are no errors and warnings, select the date/time to send your email.
• Optionally select batch sending.

Sentori now supports the creation of landing pages via its Sites feature. This feature is not intended to build a full website, but rather to create supporting landing zones to extend the content of your email campaigns.

For businesses operating with multiple departments, regions, brands, publications, or across territories, Sentori now includes a feature for grouping these accounts together.

Benefits of linked accounts can include the following.

Accounts within a group can have synchronised suppression lists. When a contact is suppressed in one account, the other accounts in its group also suppress that contact. Individual accounts can still maintain their own Mailing Lists for finer-grained unsubscribes that are not synchronised.

Within a group of accounts, a master account can publish templates to other accounts in its group. This is done by a user via the Manage Templates screen.

Within a group of accounts, it is possible for an email to be published to other accounts in the group. This feature is available to all accounts within a group.

Sentori now supports SMS campaigns, which can be sent to contacts with mobile numbers by uploading a spreadsheet of contacts to create an upload group.

In order to use the SMS feature, you must rent a mobile number from us and pre-purchase sufficient SMS credits for your campaign. Pricing details can be found here.

• SMS are created using a workflow similar to emails.
• Messages can be personalised using mergefields.
• Content length can result in messages requiring more than one SMS credit per message.

New in Sentori 3 is a completely rebuilt API with significantly more functionality. Our old API will continue to be supported.

New API methods include:

• Add a Contact
• Update a Contact
• Subscribe a Contact to Mailing List
