Maintenance Window on Tuesday Evenings
We have completed the first of several major infrastructure upgrades planned for 2018, and many large and small upgrades on the horizon. Sometimes these upgrades require us to take elements of our hardware or applications offline for a period of time. In order to minimize the impacts to your business and to make this as predictable as possible, we have reserved the time slot 10PM to 1AM MT each Tuesday night to perform maintenance and make upgrades. This means that your websites front or back end might not be accessible during maintenance windows.
There will be times when your website is not accessible for an hour, times when our maintenance will be completed with a 10 minute interruption to a single part of the application and other times when there is no interruption at all. We will provide details each week on the login screen of the admin back end for your SmartEtailing website.
Product & Development Updates
Google Analytics Change
On May 25th, Google is changing the retention controls related to user-level and event-level data (e.g., User-ID, DoubleClick cookies, Android’s Advertising ID, Apple’s Identifier for Advertisers). The
Google Analytics Data Retention controls give you the ability to set the amount of time before user-level and event-level data stored by Google Analytics is automatically deleted from Analytics’ servers. Any users wanting to retain data beyond the normal controls will need to look into transitioning into a paid solution with Google.
General Data Privacy Regulation (GDPR)
Have you been hearing about the General Data Privacy Regulation and wondering how it affects your business? We found
this article helpful because it explains what it means for U.S. marketers and businesses. The change comes into effect on May 25, 2018. Specifically, this regulation deals with how organizations obtain, store, manage, and/or process the personal data of citizens of the European Union (EU). Not something to brush off and comes with some pretty hefty penalties if you are caught not complying.
New Responsive Template Available
We are very pleased to announce that a new responsive template, Francis, is now live in the Template Publisher and available to all clients. Francis gives you an additional header option with a dark background, a prominent search bar, and a clean, modern navigator.
