Most emails you send from Cameo are either mailshots or part of the membership life-cycle workflow (such as a renewal reminder). Sometimes, though, you want to email someone, as you would through an ordinary email app: use one-off message for these. Sometimes you find similar emails going to multiple people over time: use canned message templates for these. Read More…
One-click unsubscribe
Sending email, and Cameo’s optout form, now support one-click unsubscribe for email messages. This is turned on by default but can be turned off in admin → system preferences. This change is motivated by new GMail requirements for bulk email. Read More…
DMARC reports
(This article is aimed at people who know about DNS).
When you ask them to, email providers who receive your mailshots send you email information about email security: a DMARC report. You can now direct such DMARC reports to Cameo.
Administrators (only) can then find them, as attachments, at the end of profile → incoming email.
Google will require DMARC to be active for senders of bulk email from February 2024. Read More…
Follow-up messages
Follow-up messages offer a way to send messages to recently enrolled members some days after enrollment. This avoids overloading them with information at enrolment or in the membership form. Read More…
Always produce an equivalent letter
For an email template which has an equivalent letter, you can now say that specific memberships should always get a letter even if they have an email address. Read More…
About spam block lists
Some email recipient services use privately run spam block lists to filter incoming emails. For each email they receive, recipients ask whether the IP address of the server where the email originates is on a block list. It is then up to the recipient email provider how they act on that information. Read More…
Classification of bounced emails
Cameo now classifies messages returned to sender (bounces) to try to make a bit more sense out of the otherwise cryptic message it receives. Read More…
New addresses for sending emails to Cameo
In future, Cameo will handle its own incoming email directly (instead of checking a separate mailbox every so often). New addresses look like this: destination@to.cameo.example.com
To introduce this in a controlled way, we need to change the addresses you send to. The old addresses will continue to work for the next few weeks, but please start using the new addresses now. Read More…
Email tests elsewhere… and check spammyness
A new button for templates lets you send a test email to an address other than your own. You could use this in conjunction with the spam checking service at www.mail-tester.com to check your email for potential spam triggers. Read More…
Email attachments
You can now attach any file to an email sent using a Cameo template. Either upload a file or copy one from the file store. Read More…
