1. Automatic attachment of Order ID on Email Campaigns

Sellers are now required to include the Order ID in the subject line. BQool has accounted for this with the option to automatically include an order ID to the end of every subject line, saving you time from searching every individual order. When the “Attach Order ID to end of subject” is checked, and if there is no {{order_id}} variable or 17 number order number, then the Order ID will be added automatically.

2. Removal of Opened and Opened Rate

Amazon’s latest communication guidelines stated that permitted messages may not include tracking pixels or image. In aligning with these guidelines, the email Opened and Opened Rate will no longer be displayed within the email campaign feature.

3. Email Campaigns themes removal

The Email Campaigns feature will no longer include Themes and Saved Themes. Existing campaigns will automatically have their themes removed.

Other Minor Updates

• “http://” to “https://”. When inserting an image or attachment in the Content section of your Email Campaign, the embedded link will now be secured.
  
  
• Buyer-Seller Messaging quick reply removal. The quick replies within the Ticket Manager have been removed.
  
• 30-day email delivery limit. Within the Email Campaign, when selecting the period to schedule the email delivery for both FBA and FBM orders, the available time period will now show up to 30 days.
• Email product images removal. Product images within the content of an email will no longer be available. However, the 5-star feedback/review picture will remain as a 5-star plain text link, incentivizing your customers to leave a review.
