New Features:

• New Campaign Type: List. The List campaign type allows you to setup a group of people who can collaborate via emails.  Any email sent to the email address specified in a campaign will automatically be forwarded to everyone on the campaigns recipient list.  To create multiple lists, just create additional campaign for each list.
• New Campaign Type: Auto-Responder. The Auto-Responder campaign type will monitor all emails sent to a specific email address you specify and respond with your templated email including any dynamic content you have added.  You can have Axon respond to all emails or only where specific keywords are found in the subject or body of an email.
• New Campaign Type: Threaded.  With Threaded Campaigns, the focus is on each individual in the recipients list more so than the Newsletter Type. Instead of the entire recipient list receiving the same email (personalized or not), each person has their own location on a thread (a thread is a series of emails) that indicates what emails they have received, what they will receive next and when. Your Campaign ties all of the threads (a templated email) together with a purpose or strategic goal. Threads are also an ongoing communication where new recipients can start their own thread at any time where in the Newsletter Campaign Type everyone receives the email at the same time. Threads and List Campaigns Types are similar in the fact that they are both always running where a Newsletter must be scheduled. Thread Type Campaigns are used for sending people several different emails all set at different intervals. It's the same as having multiple Newsletter Type emails except that Axon keeps track of when to send each email to each individual.
• Log Notes About Specific Posts:  When using the Threaded Campaign Type, you can log notes against specific people on specific posts.  This is a great way to keep track of what is going on with specific customers.
