I was just using the VR Chat support to ask if either Email Wizard or Email Canvas were compatible with Safari. I was told that they are not compatible. I thought one of the upgrades you were promoting was this kind of compatibility. I was informed that unless I used Firefox, I would run into problems. Has there been any meaningful progress here or is the Chat Support person correct?
Josh, sure go a head and contact me… checking back here isn’t so convenient for me. If you were in my place what would be your next step in seeing VR adopt these features?
Hi Laurence,
Great feedback here, thanks for sharing.
The ability to create an email and save it as a template is on our product backlog and we’ll be looking to get this released later in the year. It will be a huge time-saver for new and experienced users and in your case, someone who is working on behalf of other clients.
Let me check on the other request about locking down some of the content as I know we’ve discussed this idea in the past. I’d want to get some specifics on what the options might be for Email Wizard and Email Canvas editor types.
Sincerely,
Josh Feinberg

Jeremy,
Thanks for your post. This is definitely something we hear a lot and we’ve been discussing internally the best way we might go about implementing this in a future release.
I don’t have an exact time frame to provide you but we’ll update the VR Product Blog with specifics as we nail down some of the key details. Can we ping you down the road for user feedback on this to make sure we’re meeting your needs?
Sincerely,

I’d like to see a ‘update my profile’ like at the bottom of VR emails, rather than only a unsubscribe link.
This would help retain subscribers in two ways: a) if they’re changing their email address & b) if they want to removed themselves from one of the lists they are on rather than a complete removal – ie, keep receiving a monthly newsletter but opt out of a more specific alert email.
Can I expect VR to enable this kind of feature?
Since custom templates are the hype this days, It would be so cool if VR could implement/add a template instead of creating a duplicate each time.
Also, it would be very cool to have lock regions that client cannot change.
The reason why I am asking this is that, We have a client that sends out a massive amount of e-blast in a year and I have to generate 6 different template every-time and has to fix spacings after they are done….
Thanks for the inspiration, i need help along the way for tips and best practices.
