If you’re planning an event, Eventbrite is the tool that helps to make it happen. A leading provider of online event management and ticketing services, Eventbrite makes it easy to hold events of any type and size – free or paid, big or small – and provides you with simple but powerful tools to manage, promote, and sell them out.
And now you can easily import your attendee lists straight from your Eventbrite acount into CakeMail – so you can send attendees event-specific announcements and follow up with them after your event is over.
To use the Eventbrite add-on, your account administrator just needs to enable the add-on for your account. Once that’s done, you’ll see Eventbrite as an import option when you create a new contact list. Click the Eventbrite logo, follow the prompts (which include entering your Eventbrite API User Key and specific Event ID) and you’re ready to go.
There’s been lots of activity happening behind the scenes lately as we’ve been busy integrating CakeMail with even more third-party apps you love (and that we love, too). The latest integration that we’re excited to announce is the easy-to-use but incredibly sophisticated SurveyGizmo.
SurveyGizmo is a feature-rich online survey tool for marketers, researchers and educators that lets you easily set up simple surveys, evaluations and polls, or create more complex surveys and studies without needing any technical know-how. Your survey and respondent data are stored in a secure SurveyGizmo account and now, thanks to this latest integration, you can send welcome emails and targeted email campaigns to those respondents directly from CakeMail.
To set up the SurveyGizmo import add-on, you’ll need to activate it from the modules page (this may be something your administrator needs to do). Once this is done, simply log in to your CakeMail account and import a list under the ‘Contact Lists’ tab. As you would import a basic .csv file, you can now upload directly from your SurveyGizmo account.
Select the ‘SurveyGizmo’ button as the import source and you will be prompted to enter your SurveyGizmo API key, and the SurveyID of the survey you’re importing contacts from, and you’re done! You can even choose to send a confirmation and then a Welcome email (delivered by CakeMail) to all new submissions.
We’ve just integrated with FormSpring – a popular form builder app that makes it easy to collect and manage user data via web forms, registrations, surveys, polls and more. If you’re a user, you can now collect, manage and market to your collected data quickly and easily using CakeMail. This new integration makes it easy to send automatic welcome emails to all new form subscribers, grow newsletter lists, drive lead generation through targeted email messages, and update existing subscriber information so you’re always up-to-date. However you use FormSpring, you can now use CakeMail to close the conversation loop.
Just like our other contact modules, you first need to activate the module under the ‘Modules’ tab. Then simply login to your account and import a list under the ‘Contact lists’ tab. As you would import a basic .csv file, you can now upload directly from your FormSprings account by clicking the ‘FormSpring’ button as the import source. Just add your FormSpring API key and the specific form ID you want to pull data from, for example: https://www.formspring.com/admin/form/builder/[Form_ID]. You can even choose to send an automatic welcome email to all new form subscribers, and don’t worry, you can add multiple FormSpring forms for truly-targeted email messages to your subscribers.
CakeMail now integrates with the popular invoicing app Freshbooks, letting you send trackable and personalized email marketing messages to your clients.
By importing your Freshbooks contacts into CakeMail, you can enhance the client-vendor relationship through announcements, service updates, monthly newsletters and more. Keep in touch, stay top-of-mind, and increase revenue by upselling new products or services to past or current clients. As always you can track who opened, clicked and much more using CakeMail’s feature-rich reporting tools.
Just like our other recent updates, this new feature is available to all CakeMail users. As the account admin, activate the new module under your ‘Modules’ tab, and during the list import process, simply click the ‘Freshbooks’ button. Enter your unique FreshBooks API URL and authentication token (both accessed through the ‘My Account’ link in your own FreshBooks account) and you’re ready to go. You can even choose to send an automatic Welcome email to your newly-imported list, directly from CakeMail.
Zendesk users can now import their help desk customer and user data into a CakeMail account, allowing for timely, effective and relevant email communications regarding support announcements and notices.
As big fans of Zendesk, we’re really excited about this integration (so much so we’ve got an even bigger one in the works). It’s a great combination offering quality customer service via highly-personalized email marketing. Send specific product downtime notices, feature upgrades, and other support or service-related messages to your (or your client’s) help desk users, and go a step further and segment mailings by open, pending or solved ticket status. Deliver the right message to your customers at the right time, and give them that warm fuzzy feeling we all get from a great customer service experience.
To get started, you need to active the module first, under the ‘Modules’ tab in your CakeMail account. Once activated, create a list as normal and click the ‘Zendesk’ button at the import list screen. Enter your Zendesk login and password and select whether you want to send an automatic welcome email to your list. Once set up, you can easily import your Zendesk contacts for use in your CakeMail campaigns whenever you choose to. Trust us, your customers will love you for it.
