Mailed Contact Counts in FeedBolt vs Keap
Sometimes, the number of contacts mailed in Keap will appear lower than the number of contacts that FeedBolt shows we mailed. The number we show in FeedBolt is the number of contacts with the matching tag – regardless of their mailability status. In other words, if some of your contacts with the tag are hard…
Improved Feed Errors and First Feed Entry
We now better check for and report RSS errors so you’ll know if your feed is invalid and why. For example, if the feed isn’t readable, has invalid XML, or is on an invalid hostname, we now say so instead of just reporting the generic error of it being an invalid feed. For new users,…
Email Previews and Account Management
Email previews can now be sent to any email address and not just the account holder’s email address. This is especially helpful where the billing contact is the account owner but a marketing or Infusionsoft contact is actually working in FeedBolt. Instead of the preview being sent to the account owner who then has to…
Footer Preferences and Text Email Previews
We now support the option of disabling the “Powered by FeedBolt” footer under account settings for apps with more than 1 feed, (i.e. our 5 feed, 10 feed, 20 feed, etc… account levels). For our “Lite” 1 feed accounts, this option is not enabled and the footer is always on. In addition to being able…
Onboarding Prompts, Tag and Template Counts, and Large Tag Sets
When logging into FeedBolt, if an Infusionsoft Encrypted API Key isn’t on file, prompt for an app name and API Key and then validate both. On the account page, we now show how many templates and tags were loaded from Infusionsoft. We now load ALL Infusionsoft tags instead of just the first 1,000 tags. This…

If you’d prefer to send a digest style email with multiple posts in it, that’s easy to do with FeedBolt. First, on your feed, change the frequency to check to something like weekly or biweekly (every 2 weeks).
