Noticed the recent AWeber changes?

10 years ago

I get what you're saying. But, take peace of mind knowing that Aweber is "on their game" with deliver ability issues.

THATS the most important thing.

Thanks

I agree 100% whatever Aweber has to do to make there customers happy and increase out deliverabilty rates is what you want when looking for a good auto responder service.

Props to aweber

I wish Aweber would have better API set. Tons of opportunities to make amazing email marketing and autoresonder integrations and the biggest player sucks in this game.

We do iterate regularly upon specific suggestions if there's something specific you find missing.

Via API I need:

- Ability to create and send newsletters via API.
- Ability to add, modify, remove customer from list via API.
- Ability to do initiate transactional email via API (think mandrill)

PS: make blog broadcast way more responsive. Hours to catch-up with new blog posts to do blog broadcast is unacceptable.
We need minutes, not hours.
You lost customer 2 weeks ago because of that.

Aweber API today is like Mailchimp in reverse.
Aweber - exceptional facilities for email marketing business - sucky API.
Mailchimp - exceptional API, sucky approach to businesses (encouraging 90% of business models to stay away).

  That's a totally different business model, not just an API feature.

  RSS feeds are a pull function, note a push function. Polling for updates from tens of thousands of blogs every few minutes in the off chance that they updated their blog would be incredibly wasteful of our resources as well as those of the blog owners we are polling. We poll for updates every 1-2 hours currently. If there's a usage scenario where you need to be sending out updates immediately, I'd suggest creating the broadcast content directly.

Sign up notification messages have the list name in the subject line.
They come in the format of:

Subject: AWeber listname.adtracking: Subscriber Name <subscriber-email@example.com>

The only change we made was the FROM address which shouldn't have changed any filtering you may have done based on the list name people are subscribing to.

Happy to oblige with bigger checks.

Are you aware of our API docs area? https://labs.aweber.com/

BTW, I saw in another thread you posted on that you were under the impression we required confirmed opt-in on imports when switching from other providers. That's not true, we allow that step to be bypassed if you get in touch with our CS team when switching from other vendor. Switch To AWeber

Thanks

Gotta love that the CEO of a company like aweber jumps into the discussion. Some might say, what's the big deal, a CEO "should" be jumping into the discussion. Maybe; maybe not. But still not enough actually DO.

Hi Tom

thanks to step in and you are correct, I have to apologize.

What changed is that the sender is not anymore the name of the lead, has been changed to the default aweber email.

The subject has now the senders name and email included.

What does not work anymore is the REPLY button as the sender changed.

Not that big of a problem.

Can't comment on API, don't use it that much but maybe there is room for improvements.

What I would love to see as a improvement is a graphic editor inside the Form setup wizard where we could customize the forms you offer to suit our designs in a better way.

G.

Thanks

Correct, we already have a trouble ticket for that and are adding a reply-to header so replies will go back to the new subscriber.

"improve" is always kind of nebulous and open to interpretation. One person's improvement, is another person's step backwards. Is there something specific you'd like to be able to do?

Thanks for asking.

Pick a template of yours, change colors to what I need over a picker to fit my site and add my own product graphics PNG image is what comes into my mind.

I purchased lately several graphic APP's which let me make ECovers, FB graphics, video overlays etc. all online, no need to download any software. You maybe could incorporate some like this into your form setup section to customize them to our liking.

Now the customization is very basic from a graphical point of view.

Then (you may have a reason for that) I really miss the EXIT LIGHTBOX POPUP. It was the only Popup I used and it really worked well to present some kind of Offer when someone leaves the site.

You can argue that people which leave want to leave but fact is that an exit popup does convert more traffic then having non.

I received an email based on my listname whenever a new lead signed up.

Now, all I got was an email from helpATaweber.com.

So I send a ticket and here's what I got as answer

I don't know if I overreact but I have 3 lists which go to the same gmail email, which I then separated inside Gmail. Now I won't see what list someone subscribed to and have to open each single one to put it into the correct folder.

I ain't see any way to bypass that system so I know again which list get's subscribers.

G.

Yes, I do notice the changes too.

But so long as it did not affect the delivery of messages to my subscribers, that should be ok.

Apparently Aweber has gone through some maintennance and update changes in recent months.

Same with Getresponse.

Thanks

Hey Tom, congrats on the business growth, I'd have thought you'd be a 5-6 person company. Excellent video, and +1 for continuing to show up here to respond personally (bonus +1 for showing up on a sunday, especially as it's Star Wars Day today, "May the 4th" be with you). Epic win. Longtime customer here since 2005, I use aweber all the time, works great.

back to my star wars marathon,

ken
