New in Momentum 4: Real Time Email Analytics, Message Generation & Cloud-Enabled APIs

Key Takeaways

    1. Real-time analytics for everything that matters
      Momentum 4 captures message events as they happen—transmissions, bounces, opens, clicks, conversions—giving senders instant visibility into performance and deliverability issues.

    2. A modern dashboard for faster insight
      The upgraded UI helps operators quickly assess campaign health, identify delays, and spot delivery problems before they escalate.

    3. Unified message generation inside the platform
      Templates, lists, and content can now be merged directly inside Momentum, enabling both large-scale campaign sends and transactional messages from one system.

    4. Flexible, powerful template management
      Data from external BI systems or internal data pipelines can be merged into templates. Both inline templates and stored templates are supported for maximum flexibility.

    5. Cloud-enabled APIs for today’s messaging architecture
      New Injection APIs, Stored Template APIs, and Aggregate Reporting APIs make it easier to integrate Momentum with modern cloud workflows and automation systems.

    6. Supercharger-powered scalability
      The architecture takes full advantage of Supercharger, allowing more processing power, smarter routing, and higher message throughput per server.
