New Email Providers & API
In version 1.2 they have added support for ConvertKit, MailerLite and Mailster, now supporting a total of 19 email providers. Unfortunately Mailjet still cannot be used with Bloom. That means that we still have to wait for making the switch from MailChimp to the France-based provider of marketing and transactional email solutions.
It seems that the development of Monarch and Bloom has been very slow lately. Hopefully, both plugins will get some more love in the future, feature-wise…
Also, they have completely overhauled their API system which Bloom uses to connect with third party providers and streamlined the system using WordPress core functions. Thus they have been laying the foundation for the easy-addition of new providers in the future.
Form Success Actions
In addition, Elegant Themes introduced form success actions. You can now choose to either show a message or to redirect users to a custom URL after subscribing to your list. Each Bloom opt-in can have its own custom success action and unique URL redirect. Say hello to your newsletter subscribers or offer them incentives for signing up, e.g. free downloads, discount codes or free eBooks. Simply redirect them right to the download or welcome page!
Integration in ET Core
Above mentioned new system for managing third party APIs has been integrated to the Elegant Themes core framework. Thus Divi will soon be able to support all 19 providers when using the Divi Email Optin Module.
