Mostly some email changes here, with more emails counted as account emails that someone gets even if they opted out of promo emails, better tracking of what readers do with Outpost emails, and a nice check now to make sure your CTAs are easy to read on the page.

Highlights
|
📬 Expanded Account Emails
If members opted out of promotional emails, they also stopped getting some messages that aren't really promotional, such as the thank-you after a donation or the reminder that their subscription is about to end. These now go out as Account emails.

🧭 Better tracking of Outpost emails clicks
We now record clicks on every site link in an Outpost email so you get better data on what's working and what's converting. When a reader clicks through or pays, you can better see which email led them there.

🎨 A CTA guard for readability
The CTA editor now warns you when text is hard to read against the background. Additionally, new wide popups, wide slide-ups and rounded boxes start with a text color that reads clearly on your site’s accent color. We also fixed a preview bug that showed some headings as white when they would actually appear on your site using your site’s text color.

CHANGED 3 items
| 📬 The donation thank-you, the retention-offer thank-yous, the first gift-ending reminder and the first “your subscription ends soon” reminder now go out as account emails, so members who opted out of promotional email still receive them |
| 💝 The on-site donation thank-you is now labeled in the Outpost Control Center as a message shown in the browser, and it no longer offers a test email |
| 📜 Email series opt-outs and resubscribes now appear in the member’s activity log and in Outpost’s analytics data |
