Hey Sumos! Sean here, back with some more important updates from the developer world. This round of updates brings new features, email templates and some cool ways to get ideas within the app. Behold! Big Update: List Builder 3 Form TypesList Builder 3 is the most versatile email capture tool on the planet (maybe universe?). There are tons of ways to use it, but there wasn’t ever a way to easily see how you were using any given popup. We’ve changed that with the addition of Form Types. When you log into List Builder 3, you’ll see a new column titled “Form.” Next to each popup, you’ll see an icon that tells you how that popup is appearing:
These are the types of icons you’ll see right now (with more on the way):
And when you create a new popup in List Builder 3, you’ll see a new step called “Form Type.” This is where you’ll select what type of popup you want to create -- standard, inline or click trigger:
This new addition means click triggers no longer require their own display rules. Click triggers will display on any page you place them, so all you need to do is copy the click trigger code in the “Visibility” tab:

So it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see you all LOVE the new Auto Responder feature. Since the last time we talked, we’ve seen over 23,000 emails sent by y’all through Auto Responder. Since it’s being used quite a bit (read: a buttload), we doubled down and added two new game-changing updates. First, we’ve added three new email templates to Auto Responder. Hovering over the “Add New Email” button gives you three email options:
Clicking on an option sends you to a pre-written email template you can send to anyone who opts-in to that specific popup. The templates are: - Welcome Email: A standard email to welcome your new subscribers to your list.
- Coupon Code Email: Giving away a discount on your site? Ask visitors for an email address, then send them this email with your discount code inside.
- Content Upgrade Email: Instantly send your subscribers their content upgrade with this email.
All you have to do is go into those templates, replace a few words to make it your own and BAM...you’re ready to roll. Which brings us to the second update on Auto Responder -- a new toolbar editor. Before, you needed to write everything in Markdown (kinda like HTML, but different). To make it easier to edit your templates, we’ve added a standard editor so you can create/edit emails without knowing Markdown:
With the click of a button, you can add images, link text, create lists and stylize your text. If you haven’t used Auto Responder yet, you really need to jump on board now.

Instead of having to write into the support team, we’ve started adding tooltips throughout the app. They show up as little question marks, and clicking one will bring up relevant articles to help you out: Say I was confused on how to integrate AWeber:
I could click the question mark and get a relevant article on the subject:
We’ve just started rolling these out, but you’ll see them more and more in the near future. Keep your eyes on your inbox for our next update. Enjoy the new updates, Sean “Coach” Bestor |
