We have a number of #WixBlog subscribers who are asking for a digest version of the blog email notifications. We sometimes have 3-4 blog posts a day, so our subscribers are getting 3-4 emails a day from us, feeling overwhelmed, and unsubscribing. Bad for all parties.
A simple digest would just send 1 email at the end of the day (or ideally a time requested by the subscriber) of all posts since the previous digest was sent. In a perfect world, the subscriber could say they want a digest every X days, at X time, to lighten up our load on their inbox.
We don’t want to have to limit our posts, just to keep our subscribers! To be clear, our subscribers say they DO want the content, they just want it summarized in 1 email instead of 3-4/day.
To clarify, there also needs to be a way to specify something like a “Notification Group” in #WixContacts, where you can say that Mary want to receive a notification for every blog post that’s posted, and Steve only wants to receive one at the end of the day, and Mike only wants one 1x a week.
Currently, our choices are “Everyone gets a notification for every post”, or no one does. As a blogging site, this is pretty limiting. Yes, we can do separate blasts manually, however that’s why we have automations.
Also, because we have posts in different categories (News, Reviews, Recipes, etc), we need to be to specify per contact which categories each subscriber wants to receive.
Finally, there doesn’t seem to be a report that shows who’s actually opening the blog email notifications? Is there one? This of course would be invaluable…
Hi @joel41866 , thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and give your feedback
Did you open a feature request in our help center?
HI Anna - I looked there from your previous direction on another post in the Feature Request forum ( “Contacts needs many things”), but I don’t see a feature request option in the help center, other than contacting support? I don’t really need support or to view articles on existing features, I’m just requesting features that don’t exist yet… Or am I missing something?
