September was a really fruitful month for us by way of enhancing Stripo and its ecosystem within the type of varied supporting instruments. As well as, this month, we began working in the direction of an vital facet of electronic mail advertising — accessibility.
So, let’s go into slightly extra element about all of the achievements.
Interactive module generator has three extra video games now
After we launched our interactive module generator in July, we stated that we had huge plans to replace it and it is best to count on new video games. As we promised, in September, we launched three new video games that may be generated by the handy interface of our generator.
- Scratch recreation. On this recreation, you possibly can create a secret message or give the recipient a promo code, which they have to reveal by the scratching shade coating like in lottery tickets.
- Image quiz recreation. Give your subscribers a riddle, and the reply might be within the assembled puzzle.
- Wheel of fortune. Give away promo codes and prizes or create video games utilizing the wheel of fortune. Let recipients check their luck by spinning the wheel and seeing what it reveals.
For instance, that is what the completed image quiz recreation seems like.
You possibly can generate all these video games in an intuitive interface, and also you don’t want coding data to create and implement them in your electronic mail. We will not wait to see what emails you possibly can construct utilizing these ready-made recreation mechanics.
Two-factor authentication is now reside in Stripo
First, let us take a look at what this two-factor authentication is and why it’s wanted. Two-factor authentication (or 2FA) is an extra safety measure used to confirm the id of people making an attempt to entry a web-based account. After coming into their username and password, customers are requested for further data earlier than being granted entry.
Now, in Stripo you’ve got the choice to activate 2FA or Multi-Issue Authentication (MFA) to reinforce the safety of your account. This helps shield your account from varied safety dangers, together with phishing, brute-force assaults, credential abuse, and comparable threats based mostly on consumer passwords and accounts.
Now you can select to authenticate by devoted two-factor authentication apps similar to Google Authenticator, Authy, or Duo. As well as, double authentication could be carried out by a one-time code, which we are going to ship to you by electronic mail.
First steps in enhancing electronic mail accessibility inside Stripo
This yr, the E-mail Markup Consortium launched an Accessibility Report, which revealed some horrible information: 99.97% of HTML emails examined include accessibility points categorized as “Critical” or “Crucial.” Consequently, now we have the truth that solely 0.03% of emails are absolutely accessible.
What does this imply? Nearly all emails that find yourself in inboxes are poorly or fully unreadable for display readers. Individuals with visible impairments merely can’t discover out what’s in these emails since display readers can’t learn the e-mail out loud for them.
For the time being, Stripo is approaching 1 million lively customers, and this can be a large variety of emails created by our editor. We wish to enhance these horrible statistics on our personal in order that any display reader can learn all emails created in Stripo with out issues.
Proper now, our programmers are transforming and enhancing the emails code rolled out of the editor in order that there aren’t any errors on the code stage that might intervene with display readers.
As well as, the product crew is engaged on “Accessibility precheck” performance. The primary concept is that Stripo will test emails for compliance with accessibility requirements (electronic mail code, shade distinction, and many others.). We’ll point out which electronic mail parts cut back accessibility and advocate how greatest to repair them utilizing our electronic mail preview characteristic.
The code replace might be launched within the coming weeks, whereas the “Accessibility precheck” might be launched later.
