Only two weeks have passed since the release of ShopMagic 2.29, and here we are with new and shiny ShopMagic 2.30. What’s inside? Attachments, duplication, exporting and importing automations, and a number of other “make life better” kind of improvements!
Attachments to follow-up emails
Starting from now on, you’ll see a new field in your automations. You’ll be able to add PDF attachments to all of your follow-up emails created in ShopMagic. Guides, manuals, invoices – you name it. You can add one or more attachments, it’s entirely up to you.
Duplicating automations
ShopMagic automations could be easily duplicated by any external plugin which would let you duplicate posts. However, it created a need to install another plugin in your store.
Well, you can safely uninstall them, as ShopMagic 2.30 has a built-in duplicate feature. If you want to use it, simply click on duplicate on your automations list:
It will create a copy of an automation, saved as draft.
As some of you are using plugins which have duplicate functionality not only to duplicate automations, we added a small but very useful feature.
If ShopMagic detects that you have a plugin with duplicate function, it won’t activate our internal duplication. You know, to prevent from multiplied duplication aka duplication inception 😉
Exporting and importing automations
Another feature which will improve your everyday life. Especially if you are using staging environments. ShopMagic will let you export (one, selected or all) automations and then import them to your other website. All of this, available directly on automations screen, next to the duplication feature.
Custom reply-to email address
Custom reply-to email is another feature which was on our Ideas list. Too long to be truth. When you update your ShopMagic plugin to 2.30, you’ll be able to assign custom email and name, for all of the emails sent from ShopMagic. You can do it in plugin settings.
If you use this feature, and enter custom email and/or name, it will use your new settings. If you leave it untouched, nothing happens and ShopMagic will still use email and name from WooCommerce > Settings > Emails.
Placeholder improvements
First, we added a new placeholder {{ order.order_number }}. How does it work? It returns the actual order number, even if you are using plugins which modifies the order number sequencing.
We tested it with most popular plugins, and it works great. However, if you encounter any issues, contact us, and we will immediately look into it.
Second improvement is modified {{ order.payment_method }} placeholder. From now on, it will return clear payment method name, which you defined as a method title:
Kudos to ZappoB for drawing our attention to it!
Let us know what you think!
All of these new additions have one common thing. We added them for you, to let you create even better automations.
Thank you for all of your great ideas, as at least half of the updates in this release are your ideas.
