Salsa Highlight: Personalized Donation Histories

Greetings!

It's the "Salsa Highlight," your quick hit on what's what in Salsa to help get the most out of your online program. As always, you can find plenty more news, updates, and conversation throughout the week on SalsaCommons.org.

This week's feature is an oldie but a goodie, and one that many users aren't yet taking advantage of.

Personalize Emails with Dynamic Content

While a generic email message is fine to use for your online communications, email blasts that have personalized content directly relevant for the recipient often have more impact, result in more taken actions, and generate more page views.

The Salsa Email tool allows you to add several varieties of Dynamic Content from a picklist you'll find right under the tab ...

Salsa Service Update

This morning, Salsa Labs experienced an unplanned service outage from 7:00 to 8:47 a.m. Eastern due to a virtual server bug which prevented access to an internally critical system.

Although we were able to begin troubleshooting the problem immediately, resolution required an interlocking sequence of systems fixes. Throughout the downtime period, Salsa pages (both public-facing pages and headquarters login pages for campaign managers) experienced a complete outage. Email blasts scheduled for that time frame were delayed, but were queued and automatically sent as soon as service was restored.

This outage has been fully resolved. Going forward, we're exploring several options for extending our existing layers of redundancy to minimize the prospects of any similar bug impacting service uptime.

We apologize for any disruption to your work. If you are still encountering issues, please contact support@salsalabs.com. Twitter users should be sure to follow @SalsaLabsOps for future real-time incident updates.
