What’s new – September 2024

Table of Contents

The busy season is just around the corner for e-commerce marketers. That means it’s time to gear up and get ready. Now’s the perfect time to grow those email and SMS lists, so when your best holiday offers drop, you’ll have as many eyes on them as possible.

In this release, we’ve made campaign setup smoother, enhanced email collection tools, and added fresh seasonal templates to help you prepare for Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and beyond.

Target your home page, collection, product pages, or any page easily

We’ve revamped our URL targeting rules to make campaign setup faster, easier, and more precise. Home page targeting got easier, so no UTM parameters can interfere with your targeting. Also, you can now use regular expressions to target multiple UTM parameters simultaneously.

Target specific products in the cart by name

Cart rules ensure that only visitors with specific cart content will see your campaign. This can include the total cart value, the number of items, and now even specific products added to the cart, such as “Pedigree Biscrok – Bone-Shaped, Multi-Mix Biscuits Dog Treats.”

Launch global campaigns with Timezone Campaign Schedule

OptiMonk’s Campaign schedule allows you to schedule your popups and offers by any timezone. Launch or conclude campaigns precisely at a given time – for example at midnight – local time, for each visitor.

Personalize product recommendations with Shopify's own algorithm

Boost sales with intelligent product recommendations! Shopify’s recommender makes it easy to show the right products at the right time, and it’s now available in OptiMonk for all your campaigns.

Receive email alerts if your campaigns stop showing

Stay informed with email alerts that notify you if your campaigns stop showing due to issues like running out of discount codes, out-of-stock products, or outdated countdown timers. Ensure your email is up to date and invite team members to receive alerts as well.

Add your logo to your campaigns with a single click

Add your logo directly to your Theme settings, and OptiMonk will automatically display it on all your popup pages.

Reduce misspelled email addresses with OptiMonk's Spellchecker

Tired of bounce-backs from typos like jane@gamil.com? Our spellchecker now flags common domain errors (Gmail, Yahoo, 39+ popular domains, and 66+ modern TLDs frequently updated) during sign-ups and suggests corrections.

Extended GA4 order tracking

OptiMonk’s Campaign Analytics can now track all order events labeled ‘purchase’ in GA4, not just those in the default format. This means we can capture orders even if the purchase details (like value and revenue) are sent to GA4 in a different format. With this improvement, even more users can access precise revenue data and gain deeper insights into their campaign performance.

New use case: Exit reminder

Our new favorite popup formula turned fullscreen

Our top-performing Smart Discount Popup is now fullscreen for even more impact. Fullscreen pop-ups often outperform standard overlays, so we’ve upgraded all templates to this stunning format.
