    • Refresh, refresh the application.

  When you first login the "Emails" tab will be visible.  It displays a graph of your most recent campaign (if you have one), the name and send date of the campaign, and both open and click rate for the campaign.

  Below this is a list of all sent campaigns in order of most recently sent.  If you have sent more than fifty campaigns you will be able to load more campaigns by clicking the "Load More Campaigns" button at the very bottom of the sent campaigns list.  By clicking the most recent campaign or any of you other sent campaigns from the list, you will be presented with the details for that campaign.

  At the top of the Email Details page the campaign name, the date the campaign was sent, and the total emails that were successfully sent out are all displayed.  Below that is a graph depicting the open and click rates (if any) followed by two buttons with the open rate followed by the click rate. 

  These two buttons are enabled (clickable) only if there is an open rate or click rate for the button.  Clicking on an enabled button will take you to a list of all the contacts that either opened the selected campaign or clicked a link within it.  The list will display fifty contacts at a time and give the option to load more contacts at the bottom of the list.

  At the footer of the page there are buttons for (from left to right) forwards, opt-outs, spam, and bounces.  Similar to the open and click rate buttons these buttons are only enabled if there is at least one forward, opt-out, etc… Again, clicking on a enabled button will show a list of contacts that were bounces for example if you clicked the "bounces" button.

   Adding a Contact

  To add a new contact simply input the desired information for the new contact (Email Address is required), click the button titled "Contact list subscriptions" and select the list or lists you want the new contact to belong to (at least one list is required), and finally click the "Done" button.  If it is the first contact you have added you will have to agree to the permissions.  Read them and accept and the new contact will be saved.  Click the "Revert" button to clear all the text from the input fields.

  When you click on a particular contact or search for a contact you will see that selected contact's detail information.  Only the information that is stored about the contact will be displayed so at the very least you will be able to view the contact's email address and the list or lists they belong to (if any).

   Editing a Contact

  The edit contact page is just a populated add contact page.  The fields that exist will be filled in and the lists that the contact belongs to (if any) will be selected in "Contact list subscriptions".  Add or change any information about the contact you want and select “Done” to make the update the contact information.  Click the "Revert" button to change all the values back to before your changes.

  Can’t wait for the Android app! I’ve been hoping for this for a while!

  I’m with Tricia on this… can’t WAIT for the Droid app! I attend and market at a lot of live offline events and would love to do sign-ups on the fly with my Droid!

  Hi Shauna, We’ve actually moved on from developing an Android app to developing a full-blown mobile web app instead. It’s Android-compatible, and you can learn more here: http://conta.cc/bVw8qE
