Feature Releases
https://help.newzapp.co.uk/raise-a-ticketThe Filters panel in Contacts is already an incredibly useful tool. It helps narrow down and Group contacts based on individual key pieces of information, as well as more dynamic contact lists using Segments to filter based on behaviour.
Whilst you could use one or more filters at a time, the contacts listed had to satisfy ALL of the specified conditions. But not any more: the latest updates to NewZapp now extend this functionality so you can group contacts that satisfy ANY of the filter conditions. Great for spreading your net further and targeting more people in one go.
Why not log in and try it out today! Any questions? We’re here to help
No need for 3rd party apps – now you can create and deliver feedback surveys, NPS polls and more right from your NewZapp account.
Distribute your surveys by email, add links to your web pages, connect them to our QR Code Campaigner – NewZapp ensures the widest possible reach wherever your workforce may be. Vital employee feedback and engagement are then easily tracked using the clear and concise charts and tables.
