Three New Features for Act-On Contacts Users

  • Updated

Act-On Contacts users got three time-saving upgrades at once: syncing segments straight from a CRM report or campaign, personalizing "From" details without a CRM, and using related CRM data (like Account or Owner) in dynamic content.

Why this matters: Each of these closes a small but real gap: building segments from CRM reports saves manual list-building, Personalize From without a CRM extends a popular feature to more accounts, and CRM-related entities in dynamic content mean your emails can reflect more of what's actually happening in the CRM.

What's Changing

Create Segment from CRM Report or Campaign

SalesForce CRM users can now create a segment that syncs contacts based on their membership in a CRM report or campaign, while Sugar CRM users can sync based on a Sugar Target List. This is an easy way to save time identifying the segments you want to market to! This is available in the All Contacts menu as "Add Segment from CRM".

Personalize From Support for Non-CRM

Now Act-On Contacts users without a CRM can designate sales owner names & email fields on their All Contacts list for use with the Personalize From feature for email sending. This is available in Settings > Other Settings > Contact Settings.

CRM-Related Entities for Dynamic Content

Dynamic content is a powerful tool in Act-On's email composer that allows you to vary the content blocks of an email based on contact data. Now, you can use related CRM data from tables such as Account or Owner as part of the criteria used to determine which content to show.
