What’s New: Why We Win Awards for Fastest Implementation

Doing the right things quickly is essential. As a product-led company, it’s also one of our core values: crafting a product that anyone can implement quickly and then grow with us. That’s why this quarter, we’ve doubled down on delivering value even faster — making it easier to generate (and schedule!) new Journeys, manage your SMS audience list, and much more. We were thrilled to hear we earned G2's award for Easiest Set Up and Most Implementable Engagement Platform. Here’s a closer look at a few upgrades we released this past quarter:

Improve engagement with Quickstart Journeys

Now you can jumpstart your engagement strategies by choosing from a selection of Journey outlines that we've prebuilt to make your job easier. Choose from onboarding, re-engagement, or promotional use cases to save time and gain campaign inspiration. With our built-in best practices, you'll be set up for success right from the start.

Journeys Scheduling

Gone are the days of waking up at the crack of dawn to start or end your Journeys. With Journeys scheduling, you can choose the start/end times of your Journeys ahead of time to fundamentally ease the manual effort involved in your cross-channel campaigns.

By setting up Journeys beforehand, you ensure they go live exactly when needed without constant monitoring. This flexibility allows you to focus on optimizing your messaging and overall strategy, knowing that your campaigns will run seamlessly at the right moment. Whether you're coordinating a Black Friday launch or a multi-day promotional event, this functionality makes executing complex, time-sensitive campaigns easier than ever.

Improve your audience quality with SMS double opt-in

Building an engaged audience is crucial for any SMS marketing strategy. Double opt-in can increase engagement rates and lower spam complaints by weeding out low-intent or invalid phone numbers, so you're reaching the people who really want to hear from you. Deciding between opt-in and double opt-in? Our opt-in prompt documentation guide can help.

Easily grow your SMS audience with example forms

SMS continues to be a top-performing channel, with some of the highest open and engagement rates. If you're looking for an easy way to capture phone numbers from your users, look no further! We’ve created multiple opt-in flow examples, from sign-up forms, to promotion forms, to text-to-subscribe flows. Check out a working demo on Github.

Seamlessly integrate with ActiveCampaign

Mutual customers can now create and send OneSignal push notifications directly from the ActiveCampaign dashboard. With this integration, you can effortlessly trigger a mobile or web push notification from inside ActiveCampaign’s automation builder, using a OneSignal template or by designing a message from scratch. Personalize each notification with data from your contact, deal, and account records.

These new features will help you deliver more effective and engaging customer messaging. And to see even more features and improvements we released, visit our changelog.
