December 2018
Automatically create new Leads or Contacts in Salesforce
Our latest auto-create feature makes it so when a team member sends an email, Mixmax detects if the recipient exists in Salesforce. If the recipient does not exist in Salesforce, we prompt the sender to add the recipient to Salesforce as a lead or contact.
Of course, you can also make sure specific recipients are never added to Salesforce by clicking “Never create a record for this address”. Want more control over this feature? You can turn auto-creating contacts & leads on and off in settings. Admins can turn in on and off on a role by role basis.
Auto-creation of contacts and leads is included in Growth and Enterprise plans. Start a free trial here.

We also added a trigger for when meetings start, so you can perform automated actions at the start times of your meetings.

May 2018
This month's releases help you comply with the new European General Data Protection Regulation ( GDPR).
Automatically disable tracking for recipients in the EU
Mixmax will detect if you’re safe to track a recipient’s activity, and will turn tracking on or off as needed, without you having to think about it. Go to your Tracking Settings page, and click the box next to Disable tracking for EU recipients.
Send a sequence without tracking
You can send a sequence without tracking. This is perfect if you don't need tracking data, or if you don't have your recipients' permission to track their activity.
Go to the Confirm page of your sequence, and un-check the boxes next to Track opens and Track clicks and downloads.
Note that if you choose not to track opens, you cannot send followup stages with the trigger "If not read". You can still send a sequence with followup stages "if not replied" and "regardless".
Disable tracking for your organization
To help your organization comply with data privacy laws, you can disable tracking for users in your organization. You can specify tracking by role.
Go to the Roles section of your Account & Billing page. Select a role on the left. Click Tracking, and check the box next to Disable all tracking on new messages and sequences for members of this role.
Organization-level unsubscribe links
If you are an organization admin, you can require that specific roles in your organization use an unsubscribe link in their sequences, and you can customize the text that appears in the link. Go to the Roles section of your Account & Billing page, and select a role. Click Unsubscribe. You can allow each individual in the role to manage their own unsubscribe settings, or you can specify the settings for everyone in the role. You can customize the text that appears in the unsubscribe link. When you create the link, put the text {{unsubscribe_link}} in the link box:
Not part of an organization? You can still add an unsubscribe link to all your sequences. And you can manage your Unsubscribed list. Learn more about setting up your unsubscribe link.
April 2018
Jitter in sequence send times
When you send a sequence, the follow-up messages will no longer be sent at the exact same time as the original message. A followup message be sent at a randomly selected time, within 10 minutes before or after the original send time.
Custom domains for calendars and tracking
On the Mixmax Enterprise plan, administrators can specify a custom domain to be used across their organization in the following areas:
- Click tracking: when your recipients click a tracked link, they are very briefly brought to a URL with your domain, and then redirected to the link destination.
- Downloading a cloud-hosted attachment: when you send your recipient a cloud-hosted attachment and they download it from your email, a new tab briefly opens, from which they download their attachment. This tab will have your custom domain.
- Booking an event using Meeting Types: when you set up a Meeting Type, you get a designated URL from which your recipients can book time on your calendar. You can specify the domain for this custom URL.
Adding your own custom domain enables you to have full branding control over all aspects of your recipients’ experience. Learn more about setting up your organization's custom domain.
Import sequence recipients from Salesforce Reports
You can import sequence recipients from a Salesforce report. When you add recipients to a sequence, click Salesforce, and search for the report that you want to add. Organizations can have thousands of Salesforce reports; to make the search process speedy, Mixmax will only search the last 20 reports that you have viewed or edited. Also, Mixmax will only search reports that have email addresses in them. If you don't see a report, open it up in Salesforce and then search again. Once you select the report, you can select the fields to import into the sequence.
See your Salesforce API usage
You can now see how many Salesforce API calls you've used in the past 24 hours, for both the regular and the bulk API. Go to the CRMs and Team Live Feed section of your Settings page to see your Salesforce API usage.
March 2018
Organization Roles
In any team, consistency is key. That’s why we built a way for you to control what your team can and can’t do within Mixmax.
- If you use Salesforce as your CRM, you can make sure Account Executives sync only to Opportunities they own, while the Success team syncs to any Opportunity.
- If you use Greenhouse as your ATS, you can make sure your recruiters sync their nurture campaigns to the candidate record in Greenhouse.
- For managers and team leads, make sure they can reassign Mixmax accounts and manage billing, and ensure that none of their conversations are shared with the team.
If you’re looking for more granular permissions, let us know, we’re happy to add it to the roadmap!
February 2018
Custom meeting reminders
Meeting Types in Mixmax enable you to create public web pages where guests can book meetings on your calendar directly. This saves a ton of back-and-forth. But even after booking, your guest may still forget about the meeting, resulting in a no-show, late arrival, or cancellation.
January 2018
Sharing Sequence Folders and Sequence Recipient Search
Sequences are a powerful way to automate drip campaigns to your prospects, customers and candidates. Today, we’re making sequences even more effective for your team.
You often wonder which sequence a particular recipient or group of recipients (domain, Salesforce account or opportunity) is in. To solve this, we’ve added a Recipients tab to all sequence folders and search results. This makes it easy for you to see groups of recipients, so that you can check on their status, and then personalize, reschedule, or exit them.
December 2017
Improvements to Sequences
Coming soon, we’ll roll out the ability to share folders with your teammates. (Individual sequences can already be shared of course).
November 2017
Team Outbox
- See all the messages, sequences, and tasks that you and your teammates have scheduled.
- Search by teammate, by individual recipient, and by domain - even by Salesforce account or opportunity!
- Confirm that you’re going to reach the right contacts and accounts, every day. And as a team lead, see who’s set up for success and who needs coaching.
Pause and reschedule sequences
October 2017
Recommended Send Times for Sequences
If you send email campaigns, you often wonder when the best time is to send. Today, we’re excited to announce that Mixmax can automatically send sequence messages at the optimal time for each specific recipient. No more guessing!
When writing your sequence, just select the option to ‘automatically send at the best time for each recipient’. Mixmax takes care of the rest.
This is a further enhancement of the feature we announced last month, which lets you send individual messages from Gmail at the time when your recipient is most likely to engage with your message
Customers using the optimal send times see a 47% increase in reply vs. those that don’t.
Send on behalf of your teammates
Today, delegated sending in sequences lets you reach clients, prospects or candidates on behalf of other teammates.
This is especially valuable if you’re an SDR sending on behalf of an AE, a recruiter sending on behalf of a hiring manager, or an executive assistant sending on behalf of an executive.
Delegated sending enables you to create multi-stage workflows on behalf of other people, while still making sure that deliverability, reply-tracking, and analytics are flawless. This is not the case when using send-as addresses or aliases, since those messages aren’t actually sent from the delegated account.
To request or to grant access to delegated sending, go to “Delegation” under “Settings”.
Note that both the delegator and the delegated account need to be on the new Enterprise plan. Contact sales@mixmax.com for a demo of delegated sending today.
September 2017
Clone Sequences
You can now clone/duplicate sequences from your Sequences Dashboard. Click the Clone Sequence button to create a duplicate of your sequence.
Recommended Send Times
Mixmax now tells you the best time to send email, based on real data. (No more guessing!)
Click “Send Later”, and you’ll see the times when your recipient is most likely to engage with your message.
Recommended Send Times is based on your recipient’s prior interactions with your emails. If you haven’t emailed them yet, it suggests times from similar people.
Add unique cc or bcc recipients for each recipient in your Sequence
For each recipient in your sequence, you can cc (or bcc) different recipients. Just add a column with the title "cc" (or "bcc") — no quotes — in your CSV. Learn more.
August 2017
Salesforce tasks in Sequences
- Create multi-faceted workflows. For example, after you send the first outbound email, automatically create a task to connect with a prospect on LinkedIn to strengthen your account-based selling efforts.
- Ensure your team uses the right mode of communication. For example, add calling to your workflow by adding a task to call the prospect.
- Know whether each team member completes their tasks. Everything is tracked in Salesforce, so you have full visibility.
Salesforce tasks are available to customers on our Growth and Enterprise plans. Don’t use Salesforce? Mixmax tasks are coming soon!
Share team reports
Starting today, you can share team reports in Mixmax. With shared reports, you can get detailed insights for all your teams. It’s a quick and powerful way to track the performance of your teams at a glance.
Team reports enable you to see how your teams use sequences and templates, and who each team member engages with. If you’re using Salesforce, you can even see which accounts or opportunities have been touched.
It’s especially powerful to share these findings during your weekly check-ins with direct reports and managers. For example, you can sort to see which team member has the best meeting booking rate.
You can also discover whose email copy performs best. Click the totals to view the messages in the Live Feed, and from there, it’s one click to view the actual email content.
Once you create the right reports (e.g., sales leaders should create reports for SDRs, AEs, Success, and Implementation managers), you can share them with the respective teams and with management.
July 2017
New Features Added to the Mixmax Calendar
June 2017
Liquid Markup
We’re excited to announce a ground-breaking new feature: Liquid Markup. You can now tailor your messaging to every person you’re contacting, at scale.
If you’re in sales, you know how critical this is, and you know it’s a cornerstone of account-based selling (ABS). You should tailor your outreach to each of your leads and their specific roles. You need to understand what each role is trying to achieve, articulate how your product solves their particular problems, and close with a CTA that resonates with their specific situation.
As an example, say you have different messaging for managers vs. individual contributors. Mixmax lets you insert if-statements into your sequences like this:
All of the variables are pulled directly from Salesforce, and if data is missing for individual leads, you can add fallbacks like the below:
You can read more about using Liquid Markup in our Help Center article here.
Updated Live Feed
Today, we’re excited to announce that Mixmax answers any critical question about your team’s communications with customers, prospects, and candidates, so you can take action. We’ve overhauled the Mixmax Live Feed and Insights sections with a brand new UI and revolutionary search capabilities.
You can now tell:
- Who has read but not yet replied to your emails
- Who has seen but not yet RSVP'd to your invites
- Which emails or sequences are driving opens and confirmed meetings across your team
- Who has the best open, reply and meeting booking rates across your team
- & much more...
In both the Live Feed and Insights sections, you can create your own reports to answer any question. Filter to look at templates or sequences, or narrow in on a particular campaign. You can filter results by specific domains, so you know who’s interacting with your most important accounts. And if you’re on Premium - you can filter on specific Salesforce Accounts and Opportunities.
May 2017
Meeting Types
Whether you have intro calls, sales demos or phone screens, you can now set up different meeting types in Mixmax and get a unique URL to share for each type. With meeting types, you can specify multiple time intervals for when particular meetings should happen, what the dial-in or location should be and who should be added to the invite by default.
It’s magical, and a huge time saver. Best of all, you can share them in your team so everyone is on the same page.
All plans have meeting types, and if you’re the Starter plan or above you have access to unlimited Meeting types!
Actionable Insights
Insights is our new reporting dashboard that gives you actionable data across all of your communication in Mixmax.
Ever wonder how sequences are performing across each member of your team? How about filtering results by specific recipients? To see all this data at-a-glance, just head over to your Mixmax dashboard, and click Insights in the left nav.
You can filter results by specific recipients, sequences, or templates—enabling you to truly understand your top performing emails and team members.
April 2017
Read Write permissions for templates (and template folders, and contact groups)
We just added a Read Write permission to templates. So you can share your template with your team, and anyone in the team can edit the template. If you want to enable some team members to edit and not others, you can share with an individual, and grant them Read Write access. Set this up on the Sharing tab of each template. You can also manage the Read Write permissions for template folders and contact groups.
Send a sequence to the same person multiple times
Mixmax sequences automatically protect you from sending the same sequence to the same person multiple times. But sometimes you may need to send the same sequence to the same recipient. We added a new advanced setting that will allow you to send a sequence to the same person multiple times.
Shared Sequences
You're already successfully reaching leads, customers and candidates with sequences — now you can share those best practices with your coworkers.
When you share sequences, your team’s analytics will be aggregated together, so you can track your team's performance.
To share a sequence, just add your team mates in the Share & Settings step of new or existing sequences:
March 2017
Mixmax Calendar
We’re excited to announce Mixmax Calendar. You can now book meetings even faster by sharing a link where prospects choose times and book directly.
You can find your personal calendar link in your MIxmax calendar settings:
Your link works everywhere, not just in email, and is particularly useful in your automated replies or Sequence messages.
You can change your personal link to be exactly the way you want it in Settings, but make sure to change it before someone else claims the link you wanted and it becomes unavailable! (Settings is also where you set your availability and edit default duration).
Personalize sequences directly from Gmail and Inbox
First, go to the Insert menu and pick a sequence. Next, click Edit in the yellow box that appears at the bottom of your message. You’ll see a preview of all your stages which you can edit as you like.
February 2017
Introducing your Mixmax Outbox
The Mixmax Outbox is a brand new way to stay on top of email and see all your reminders, scheduled emails and sequences, in one convenient place.
Head over to Mixmax to view your new Outbox. You can quickly search, edit, and reschedule any outgoing message or reminder.
Snooze and Reminders
We’ve made snoozing and setting reminders easier to use than ever. “Snooze” and “Reminders” are now unified for a more intuitive experience. And you can now add reminders to any email, including messages you’ve already sent.
January 2017
Add Sequences directly from Gmail and Inbox
Access all of your Sequences from the Insert menu, in the top right corner of a new message window. When you select a sequence, the first stage of the sequence is inserted into the email, and all the stages and their triggers will be clearly displayed in the. It’s as close to wizardry as it gets.
For now, you'll see sequences that don't have any variables. Soon you'll be able to add sequences that contain variables!
For details, see the Help Center article Add a recipient to a sequence from the compose window
December 2016
Mixmax Rules
Mixmax rules enable you to intercept events (such as when you receive an email, or when someone clicks a link or answers a poll in an email you've sent) and route these events to a webhook or other location (for example, post to Slack or send an SMS). To create a new rule, go to the Rules & Web Hooks page in your Settings. In the example below, when an email from mixmax.com is received, the message will be posted to Slack! For details on what you can do with Mixmax rules, check out http://developer.mixmax.com/docs/rules.
Custom HTML app
You can now insert custom HTML into your emails — and your signature. Use the slash command /html or select Custom HTML from the Enhance menu in the bottom bar of the Mixmax compose window. Then paste in your HTML. For details, see the Help Center article Add Custom HTML.
Updates to Sequences
New sequences reports page
We’ve added analytics to your main list of Sequences. Now, you can see and compare how your sequences performed without having to click into them. You can even compare how different stages performed.
Add a stage at any time
You can now add a stage to existing sequences. Just click Add a stage on the Stages tab. Active and new recipients in your sequence will automatically receive new stages that you add.
Control how each stage is sent
Each stage now has a Send as reply toggle, enabling you to decide when a stage should be a reply or not. This lets you start a new conversation with recipients in the middle of a sequence.
Mixmax inside your Salesforce
You can add any list of Contacts or Leads to a Mixmax sequence—all without leaving Salesforce. Head over to any list of Contacts or Leads, and click Add to Mixmax Sequence . Next, select a sequence, and we’ll automatically import the list into it. To ensure the perfect sequence, you’ll be able to verify or edit any imported data before you send. For more on the Salesforce integration, see Connect to Salesforce.
November 2016
Updates to Sequences
Personalize sequence stages for any recipient
On the Premium plan, you can customize stages specifically for any individual in a sequence. Head over to your sequence’s Reports tab and click Personalize on any row. You can edit the content and send date for any stage. Changes only affect that specific recipient, so you can make your stages as personal as you want. If you want to personalize the first stage of your sequence, schedule your sequence to send in the future, to give yourself time to modify stage 1 for each recipient.
Lightning-fast reports
Sequence reports now load faster than ever. You'll get the latest stats exactly when you need them. We've also added an All Recipients section, so you can see how well your entire sequence performs at-a-glance.
October 2016
Salesforce integration
We're excited to announce a bucketload of new integrations to save you time in both your inbox and in Salesforce.
Manage tasks in the Salesforce Sidebar
It’s now easier than ever to manage tasks related to your Salesforce Contacts and Leads. Instead of going to Salesforce, you can create, edit, and complete tasks right in the Mixmax sidebar. Our beta users reported saving an average of 137 minutes per week.
Easier Salesforce variables in your templates
We integrated Salesforce fields as variables in your Mixmax templates. Now, we’ve made them even easier to use. In any template, click {{ }} in the bottom toolbar or type {{, and a menu with all your Salesforce fields will appear. No more hunting in Salesforce for field names. When you insert the template into a message, we’ll automatically search Salesforce and fill in each variable, if we find a match.
Want a refresher on how templates work? Check out our Templates Overview.
Salesforce calendar integration
When someone confirms any meeting you send with Mixmax, we’ll automatically add it directly to your Salesforce calendar. If the meeting gets canceled, will even remove it from your Salesforce calendar for you. If you need to turn this off, you can change this in your Mixmax CRM settings.
Updates to sequences
Get ready for a complete overhaul of Sequences in Mixmax. Over the coming weeks, we’ll be unleashing a slew of improvements to automate your outreach like a pro. We’re excited to roll out the top requested features:
Edit your sequence stages at any time
Need to fine-tune your Sequence after it’s already launched? Just open any Sequence and make your edits in the Stages tab. Your updates go into effect immediately for all active and future recipients who haven’t yet received the stages you edited.
Edit the name of a sequence

Here, you can search for any list of Contacts or Leads, and we’ll import the records into your sequence, complete with all available fields.
Search for a recipient across all sequences
You no longer need to waste time hunting for a recipient to remove them from a Sequence. Use the brand new search box at the top of your Sequences list.

You can prevent opens, clicks, and downloads from being logged in Salesforce. To turn off logging these events to Salesforce, go to the CRMs and Team Live Feed section of your Settings in the Mixmax web app. First, you'll need to connect to your Salesforce account. Once you're connected, you can turn off logging these events by un-checking the box next to each event type:
