Yes, right, exactly, and itgoes beyond just knowing oh, did

Right, yeah, was it a glitch?
Was it a blocked number?
Did you send like a novellength message when there was an

Okay, so moving on.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
We've got to talk about all these new templates.
I swear they thought ofeverything.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
I mean they haven't gotten to everything yet, but
it's a pretty impressivecollection Websites, funnels,
emails, even pre-built socialmedia posts.
It's like having a wholemarketing team ready to go at
your beck and call.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I know we could do a whole deep dive just on the
templates.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Easily.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
But instead let me just highlight a couple that
caught my eye, because some ofthese are really good.
Okay, first up, the eventplanner snapshot.
So say you're organizing aconference, right?
Boom, you've got this prebuilttemplate catering, speaker bios,
it's all there.
Save so much time.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
And you know what I love about the templates is
they're flexible.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
They're not like cookie cutter.
You can customize them, makethem your own, your brand, your
voice, all of that.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Right, it's like you have a starting point.
At least You're not staring atthat blank page.
Okay, one more template shoutout.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I have to Okay, lay it on me.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Because this one is too good.
Attention all real estateagents.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
They added not one, not two, but three.
Count them three new emailtemplates specifically for real
estate.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
It shows they're paying attention to different
industries.
I like that they're committedto you know, making sure
everyone has the tools they need.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah, it's like they're saying.
They're saying we see you realestate moguls, right, we got you
.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
For sure.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
But okay, enough about templates.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Let's talk about this update that literally had me
saying wait, what?
Out loud when I saw it.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Custom value picker.
Okay, this one.
This one is for anyone who hasever felt trapped by the preset
dropdown options in software.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Ah yes, the tyranny of limited choices.
I've been there.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
You know what I'm talking about.
Right, where it's like you'restuck with just these handful of
options, right, and none ofthem are quite right.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Yep.
Well, say goodbye to those days, because custom value Picker is
here to set us free.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
It's about putting the power back in your hands,
instead of being limited by whatthe software thinks you need.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Right, you can create your own.
Okay, so give me an example.
How would I actually use this?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Let's say you're using the add contact tag action
.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
And you want to tag someone as a potential investor
or a first time homebuyer.
Right In the past you mighthave been stuck with like lead
or, you know, client.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Right right, which is not specific enough Exactly.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
But now with the custom value picker, you can get
as detailed as you need to be.
So if I'm organizing thatconference, I could create
custom tags like early birdregistrant or VIP attendee.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
There you go.
You can segment your audiencein a way that just wasn't
possible before.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
That is, that's amazing.
So it's like they took amagnifying glass to our
workflows and we're just likelet's get granular here, people.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Yeah, and the best part is, this is just the
beginning.
Oh, really, they're planning toroll this out to even more
actions in future updates.
Yeah, stay tuned.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I can already feel my brain like making my workflow
more efficient.
I love it, but we've got tokeep moving because we've got
more to cover.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Okay, remember those.
Choose your own adventure books.
Oh, absolutely yeah, it's beena good chunk of my childhood
trying to outrun yet 80s?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Yes, with the multiple endings.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
And all the different decisions.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
So the revamped Eiffel's action.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
It's kind of like that.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
But instead of, you know, ending up in some like
goblin lair, you end up with asuper streamlined,
hyper-efficient workflow.
They have these things nowcalled scenario recipes.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Scenario recipes yeah , I like it.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Think of them as pre-built templates, but for
your EFEL situations.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Right.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
So, instead of building out some complex
condition from scratch, you canchoose a recipe that kind of
matches what you're going for.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Right Makes it easier .
Speaker 1 (05:21):
So much easier.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
So if you want to send different emails based on
you know what someone's doing,or if you're trying to route
leads, Right, right.
Based on how they answersomething.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
It's all there for you.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
So it's like having like a workflow sous chef Right,
they prepped all theingredients and you just get to
like add your own little flairat the end.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yes, exactly, exactly .
And speaking of flair, theymade it so much easier to
actually manage these likemulti-step workflows.
You know how you used to getlost in those branches and
conditions.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Oh yeah, it's like, where am I?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Yes, you're like scrolling and scrolling.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
And scrolling?
Yeah, Not anymore.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Scrolling and scrolling and some scrolling.
Yeah, Not anymore.
Now you get like a clearsummary.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Of each branch.
Nice, right there At a glance.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
At a glance, I like it.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
And if you want to dive deeper, you just click oh
cool, and that specific branchexpands, the others collapse.
It's so nice and tidy.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Very organized yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Marie Kondo of workflows.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
I like it.
I like it.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
I love it and hold on to your hats, everyone, because
they added a time of daycondition, time of day.
Which is going to be huge forscheduling.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Okay, so this is like no more guessing games about
when to send things.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Exactly, you can set it to trigger based on specific
times.
Wow, down to the porter hour.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Oh wow, granular, I like that.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
So if I know my audience is most active, let's
say Tuesday mornings at 10.5.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Right Boom, schedule it.
Schedule it to hit theirinboxes right then.
So smart, just maximizing yourreach, getting those messages in
front of people when they'reactually going to see them.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Exactly Okay.
So from perfectly timedmessages to custom tags, we've
covered a lot.
We have.
But, but, but.
Okay, we can't wrap up withouttalking about something near and
dear to my heart.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Digital security.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Essential.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Especially these days .
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Oh my gosh, I know Right.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
So okay, okay, how many passwords do you think you
have written down somewhere?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Too many to count, honestly Sounds like a novel.
Right, it's ridiculous, it'sridiculous.

yeah, stick with me.
Okay, because it's important.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
It is.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Okay, so think of an API key like a spare key to your
house.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Okay, you might give one to-.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Right To your neighbor, just in case.

You don't even know they're there.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Right, it's scary.
Speaker 1 (08:04):

update help?
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Okay, so they're implementing automatic deletion
of API keys.
Speaker 1 (08:12):

Deletion of API keys Okay,after 90 days of inactivity.
So it's like automaticallychanging the locks on your house
