Hello friends,
We just pushed live an update with tons of our most requested features and biggest bug fixes. We've also silently removed our waitlist and are now in open beta. Anyone can now create an account!
Introducing the People tab 👨👩👧👦
Audienceful can now collect much more than just email addresses. The new People tab has support for unlimited customer data fields (name, phone, company name, etc...literally anything).
The best part? It's un-opinionated by default, so you can build your own data model. Custom fields can accept data from any Webflow form.
If you want to create a 100 field survey for subscribers with everything from "job title" to "favorite socialist deathcore metal band"...you can now.
Multiple audiences, tagging and segmentation 🏷
Inside the new People tab, you can now create multiple audiences based off of customer/subscriber attributes.
Audiences can be totally separate OR overlapping, and you can segment with tags or custom fields. When it's time to hit publish, you can decide exactly which audience will receive your email.
Editor improvements🛠
We've knocked out a bunch of bugs in the editor, made it faster, and have upgraded to a more Notion-style dropdown menu when creating new blocks.
This will set the stage for many more quality-of-life improvements we have coming down the pipe.
Custom labeling for drafts👩🎤
We know many of you are using Audienceful to publish much more than newsletters and blogs now, and need more control over how you organize content.
You can now create custom labels to organize things however you'd like, and even choose your own emojis!
The new Settings hub ⚙️
To make room for upcoming automation features, we've combined all "set-and-forget" areas into a settings hub, accessible from any page.
This means if you're composing an email blast, and want to modify your template real quick, you can do so without leaving the editor.
Auto-tag new subscribers via import or Webflow forms 🏷
When adding forms to your Webflow site, you can now choose to auto-tag new subscribers. This means you can do powerful things like tag people based on what page they subscribed from, to see what they're interested in or what form is converting best.
...and we're still just getting started
Words cannot describe how excited we are to see a steady trickle of signups coming in daily, with many of you now paying to support our development. We cannot thank you enough for all the valuable feedback!
Expect Zapier support, drip sequences, automations, and more coming in the next few months. 🦾

Co-founders at Audienceful
After testing with a tiny group, we're now ready to send many more invites. If you don't have one yet, expect an email soon!
Our own team has transitioned to using Audienceful (we wrote and sent you this email using it), and we now have multiple teams using the product daily.
Huge speed improvements
For those already in beta, you'll notice a ridiculous speed increase while using the tool compared to a few weeks ago.
We've completely reworked our backend and quadrupled resources, which is in some cases providing a 10X increase in UI responsiveness and task running.
New template editor
We just rebuilt our email template editor from the ground up to offer a live side-by-side email preview. You can now resize your logo, change your link and CTA colors, customize footers, send from custom email addresses, and more.
Dark mode preview
Due to new OS defaults, just over 80% of mobile users are now using dark mode for at least some part of their day.
Within the new template editor, you can now preview how your emails will look on light and dark mode across desktop/mobile in a single view.
Custom domain support
We now have support for delivering emails from custom domains. This can help build a reputation for your domain with email providers. Head to the new Settings tab to configure.
This feature is only available to paid plans for now, and we recommend only activating it once you are ready to send emails at regular intervals (eg. monthly, weekly, etc). Spam detectors can get suspicious about infrequent senders.
Send test emails
Before sending emails to your whole list, you can now send a test to personal email addresses to see how your content will look in subscriber inboxes.
Other bug fixes/features
- Images across both email/Webflow now support captions!
- Webflow publishing now only requires a title and rich text field (things like description, featured image, etc. are now optional)
- Autosave issues in certain browsers are now fixed
