You can now say that an automatic list is transactional. This means we treat it like individually chosen in that it ignores opt-outs. Read More…
List source: delivery round
You can select a new automatic list source delivery round in communication → lists. This allows you to target people on one or more selected delivery rounds along with whether they are current members and/or selected contact types. 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…
List source options
List sources now have an arbitrary number of options. (These options decide who an automatic list source searches for). Each option also now has its own context-specific caption, so it’s easier to explain what is needed. Read More…
New list source: donations
List source donations lets you use a list to select people, who have made donations attributed to a specific accounting category, optionally on or before, after or between specified dates. This allows you to email previous donors to a particular campaign, for example. Read More…
Change to managing list subscriptions
In member tasks → list subscriptions, Cameo now only shows the current status of the selected memberships’ subscriptions once you select a list. We also now provides filters for the list of lists. This makes it easier to find the list you want to work on. Read More…
Cameo 10: proposed changes to lists
For Cameo 10, I am thinking about making some changes to how lists and templates work to address some problems, particularly with opting out. I envisage: • Separating opt-outs from lists, so that people opt-out from a small number of purposes for which templates are sent. •Allowing all lists to be subscribed to manually, in addition to anyone they automatically select.

Forward emailed unsubscribe requests
When automated email requests to unsubscribe from a list are received (usually sent when someone clicks an unsubscribe button in their email app), you can now forward them to Cameo for automatic processing. Send them to Cameo’s inbox email address with +unsubscribe or +u appended (or in include +unsubscribe in the subject line). Read More…
“Questions” – a form type for questionnaires, surveys, polls, petitions, consultations and applications
A new form type, “questions”, joins the stable of Cameo forms. This provides general data acquisition for things like questionnaires and petitions, or anywhere you want to collect structured responses to a set of questions connected to a respondent. Accompanying the form is a new section, “questionnaire and petition responses”, in “member info”. You can see the responses to your form in various ways there, including on bar charts, pie charts and maps. The form identifies a list to collect together the responses and uses custom fields for your questions. A new custom field lets you ask them to pinpoint a location on a map. Read More…
