Over the weekend we deployed a new version of the GMass Chrome extension with a long overdue feature<\/strong> — the ability to set a friendly name<\/strong> for your mail merge campaign. If you’ve been a GMass user in the past, you likely know that we primarily used the Subject Line<\/strong> of your campaign to identify your campaign<\/strong> in Reporting<\/strong><\/a> and in the notifications<\/strong> we send you to update you on the progress of your campaign.<\/p>\n

If you set a friendly name, that name will appear in most communication you receive about the campaign, including Reports. The friendly name will also show in dropdowns where you select a campaign, like when you load content into the Gmail Compose window, or when you are sending a behavior-based followup to non-openers, for example. You can then search the dropdown using that friendly name.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"
Type a few characters of the friendly name, and you’ll get the matching campaigns. Here in the “Load Content” dropdown, I search for “active”, and my campaign with friendly name “Active-Users-Update” shows up.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

To set a friendly name, just expand the Advanced section of the Settings box, and you’ll see it as the last field.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Setting a friendly name is as easy as thinking of one.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It’s really that easy. Your friendly name can be a single word, or a phrase, or a made-up word — anything to help you remember or “tag” this email campaign in a way that’s important to you so you can reference it later.<\/p>\n

Extra Information<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Once you set a friendly name for a campaign, you can only change it as long as the DRAFT for that campaign exists<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. The friendly name can contain non-English characters and can be up to 100 characters.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
