This month, we’re rolling out a hefty list of product updates guaranteed to improve your user experience and help you prospect more effectively. Announcing Mail Merge Team Templates, a new and improved Outlook events feed, and more.

1. New! Mail Merge Team Templates

You’ve been hearing a lot about building relationships using drip campaigns. We’re making it easier and faster to set up multi-stage drip campaigns and share with your entire sales team with new Yesware Mail Merge Templates!

Team Managers can now create multi-stage mail merge templates to share with your entire team. Create a brand new Mail Merge template from scratch, or edit a previous Mail Merge and save as a template.

Follow along below to create a new Mail Merge template and share with your team, or check out our Mail Merge guide:

Plus, add any Salesforce contact to a Mail Merge! To add any contact in Salesforce to an individual Mail Merge, simply:

  1. Select the “Add to Mail Merge Template” option at the top of the Contact or Lead page in Salesforce.

2. New! Salesforce Sync Selector

When composing an email to a contact that has multiple records in Salesforce.com, the new Yesware Sync Selector flags the duplicate records, and lets you select which Lead/Contact and Account/Opportunity to sync to. Once selected, Yesware will automatically remember your preference for all future events.

3. New and Improved Outlook Events Feed

We’ve redesigned our Outlook events feed to make it easier to see and understand your Yesware tracking events at-a-glance. Colorful icons make it easier to scan your feed for email opens, links clicked, attachments downloaded, and more!

4. Non-Sticky Tracking Preferences

Yesware tracking preferences are no longer “sticky.”

What this means for you: Each time you presses compose, the tracking checkbox will automatically reflect your pre-set preferences.

To adjust your preferences in Gmail:

  1. Click the “Yesware” button above the compose button
  2. Select Preferences
  3. Click “Compose Options,” and turn your preferences on/off in the drop-down menu.
