With our last release, we added new merge functionality.  You can now add multiple email addresses to one user and have one set of tags for that person.

To do this, first find the two or more contacts you want to merge in My Contacts.  In this case, I will merge the information I have for Carolyn Bruen and thus have checked her contacts.

After selecting the contacts to be merged,  just click Merge.   The resulting screen shows the merged email addresses as well as the merged tags.

Make any edits you want and then click Save Contact and you’re finished.

The tags are now related to both email addresses and can be edited when emailing either one.

Last night, we posted a new release of the web site and our Add-on.     There are numerous new features to be discussed so I will start with one of my favorites - our new Twitter integration.

When looking at the contacts in our database, we discovered nearly 10% of the email addresses were linked to Twitter accounts.   With over 500K contacts, we figured we could make this data useful.

For our users with Gmail (hosted or not),  we automatically add twitter data on the fly for you.   Email your contacts, in Zentact or not, and if there is a match, we will show you their latest tweet.

In the screen shot below, the first contact’s name and tags are missing because this email was the first I had ever sent to him.  The other two, Jared and Eric, both have complete information since they are in my database.

This is the first of many features that will add real time, actionable data into your email account.    To start to use this feature, just update your Add-on at https://zentact.com/zentact.xpi
