September was a really fruitful month for us by way of bettering Stripo and its ecosystem within the type of varied supporting instruments. As well as, this month, we began working in direction of an vital facet of e-mail advertising — accessibility.
So, let’s go into a bit of extra element about all of the achievements.
Interactive module generator has three extra video games now
Once we launched our interactive module generator in July, we stated that we had large plans to replace it and you must count on new video games. As we promised, in September, we launched three new video games that may be generated by way of the handy interface of our generator.
- Scratch recreation. On this recreation, you possibly can create a secret message or give the recipient a promo code, which they have to reveal by way of the scratching colour coating like in lottery tickets.
- Image quiz recreation. Give your subscribers a riddle, and the reply shall be within the assembled puzzle.
- Wheel of fortune. Give away promo codes and prizes or create video games utilizing the wheel of fortune. Let recipients take a look at their luck by spinning the wheel and seeing what it reveals.
For instance, that is what the completed image quiz recreation appears like.
You’ll be able to generate all these video games in an intuitive interface, and also you don’t want coding data to create and implement them in your e-mail. We won’t wait to see what emails you possibly can construct utilizing these ready-made recreation mechanics.
Two-factor authentication is now reside in Stripo
First, let us take a look at what this two-factor authentication is and why it’s wanted. Two-factor authentication (or 2FA) is an extra safety measure used to confirm the identification of people trying to entry a web-based account. After coming into their username and password, customers are requested for additional info earlier than being granted entry.
Now, in Stripo you’ve gotten the choice to activate 2FA or Multi-Issue Authentication (MFA) to reinforce the safety of your account. This helps defend your account from varied safety dangers, together with phishing, brute-force assaults, credential abuse, and related threats based mostly on consumer passwords and accounts.
Now you can select to authenticate by way of devoted two-factor authentication apps akin to Google Authenticator, Authy, or Duo. As well as, double authentication could be carried out by way of a one-time code, which we’ll ship to you by e-mail.
First steps in bettering e-mail accessibility inside Stripo
This 12 months, the E-mail Markup Consortium launched an Accessibility Report, which revealed some horrible information: 99.97% of HTML emails examined comprise accessibility points categorized as “Critical” or “Important.” Consequently, we’ve the truth that solely 0.03% of emails are totally accessible.
What does this imply? Nearly all emails that find yourself in inboxes are poorly or fully unreadable for display screen readers. Individuals with visible impairments merely can’t discover out what’s in these emails since display screen readers can’t learn the e-mail out loud for them.
In the meanwhile, Stripo is approaching 1 million lively customers, and this can be a large variety of emails created by way of our editor. We wish to enhance these horrible statistics on our personal in order that any display screen reader can learn all emails created in Stripo with out issues.
Proper now, our programmers are remodeling and bettering the emails code rolled out of the editor in order that there aren’t any errors on the code stage that would intervene with display screen readers.
As well as, the product group is engaged on “Accessibility precheck” performance. The primary concept is that Stripo will verify emails for compliance with accessibility requirements (e-mail code, colour distinction, and so forth.). We’ll point out which e-mail parts cut back accessibility and advocate how finest to repair them utilizing our e-mail preview characteristic.
The code replace shall be launched within the coming weeks, whereas the “Accessibility precheck” shall be launched later.
