Recent ShortStack upgrades
Here’s a look at the latest platform upgrades that have been made to ShortStack. For more details on individual enhancements, check out our blog.
Dark Posts Come Out of the… Dark
Have you ever wanted to leverage some of the engagement you’re receiving on certain paid Facebook ads? Now you can! If you want to import entries from “dark posts” on Facebook (targeted Posts that don’t appear on your Page’s Timeline), you can now do so using the Facebook Likes/Comments Importer.
Get Creative With Emojis
Emojis are now available for use in Feeds and in entries. This allows you to include an emoji in the hashtag used to collect entries for a Feed. Give it a try (on the Agency Plan or higher)!
New Year, New Office!
So long South Reno – hello Downtown Reno! The crew has packed up and moved into a new office a couple of blocks away from ShortStack’s original office downtown.
Introducing: Code Lists
Another highly-requested feature has been added to the site: code lists. With this, you can connect a code list to an autoresponder or scheduled email to distribute unique codes. Not only will a code be sent to each entrant, but the code assigned to the entry will be displayed in the Entries Manager view as well. Learn more about using unique prize codes by watching our walkthrough video on YouTube.
Calendar Day Entry Restrictions are Here!
Before, if you wanted to restrict people to entering once per day, you’d have to set the form restriction to “once per 24 hours” and make sure people knew that they had to wait the full 24 hours to enter again. Now, you can set calendar date restrictions; so people can truly vote once per day instead of making them wait.
Analytics Are Popping Up
Analytics for both campaigns and emails have now been moved to a handy-dandy pop-up! This way, you’re not directed off of your current page to view them. The campaign analytics (available on Agency Plan or higher) are accessible from the Campaign Builder, Dashboard, and Lists Manager.
