NetSendo v1.7.9: Target New Subscribers & Fine-Tune SMS

🚀 What's New in NetSendo v1.7.9
How do you keep the momentum going with your newest subscribers? That initial interest is a golden opportunity, but sending a generic welcome email is just scratching the surface. To truly capitalize on that engagement, you need to treat new subscribers as a unique, high-intent segment. But manually filtering them for every campaign is a time-consuming chore.
NetSendo v1.7.9 solves this directly. We're thrilled to introduce the Recent Subscribers Trigger, a powerful new way to automate campaigns specifically for users who have joined within a defined timeframe. This, combined with more granular control over SMS sending and enhanced developer tools, makes v1.7.9 a focused update on smarter, more efficient marketing.
Recent Subscribers Trigger
Send messages only to users who subscribed within the last 1-365 days.
Granular SMS Control
Assign SMS providers at the message, list, or global level for ultimate flexibility.
API Request Logging
A new developer tool to monitor and debug all API v1 traffic seamlessly.
🎯 New Trigger: Target Your Recent Subscribers
Think of this feature as a "welcome window" for your marketing. Instead of just sending to a static list, you can now create dynamic campaigns that automatically target subscribers who joined in the last 'X' days. This is perfect for extended onboarding, new user promotions, or simply ensuring your most engaged audience gets special attention.
📲 Hierarchical SMS Provider Selection
Just like you can select specific email mailboxes for different campaigns, you can now do the same for SMS. NetSendo implements a smart, cascading logic: if a provider is set on the message itself, it's used. If not, it checks the contact list's setting. If neither is set, it falls back to your global default SMS provider. This gives you precise control over costs and deliverability for different types of SMS communications.
🛠️ For Developers: API Request Logging
Building custom integrations just got easier. We've added a comprehensive API request logger that captures the full lifecycle of every API call. Accessible via new settings endpoints, this tool is invaluable for debugging, monitoring performance, and understanding how your external applications interact with NetSendo.
💡 Benefits & Use Cases
Here’s how you can put these new features to work in the real world:
E-commerce: First-Month Flash Sale
A user subscribes to your newsletter. With the "Recent Subscribers" trigger, you can create a campaign that only sends to users who joined in the last 30 days. Use it to:
- Offer a special 15% discount that expires a month after they sign up.
- Showcase your best-selling products to new eyes.
- Use a premium, high-deliverability SMS provider for the offer, assigned directly to that message.
SaaS: Extended Onboarding Sequence
Your standard welcome series covers the basics in the first week. But what about week two? Use the "Recent Subscribers" trigger to create a follow-up campaign targeting users who signed up 8-14 days ago.
- Share advanced tips or a case study.
- Invite them to a "new user" webinar.
- This ensures you're nurturing users beyond the initial sign-up without annoying your long-term subscriber base.
Agencies: Client-Specific SMS Cost Management
You manage multiple clients on a single NetSendo instance. With hierarchical SMS provider selection, you can now dedicate a specific SMS provider to each client's contact list.
- Assign "Client A's Twilio Account" to their contact list.
- All SMS campaigns for that list will automatically use their provider and credits.
- This simplifies billing and prevents clients from using each other's SMS budgets.
📋 Step-by-Step Guide: Creating a "New Subscriber" Campaign
Let's set up an email campaign that targets users who have subscribed in the last 14 days.
-
Start a New Campaign
Navigate to the Message Creator and set up your email or SMS as you normally would, choosing your audience lists.
-
Select the Trigger
In the "Triggers" or "Scheduling" step of the wizard, click to add a new trigger. From the dropdown menu, select the new "Recent Subscribers" option.

Configure the Timeframe
A configuration panel will appear. Use the slider or type directly into the input box to set the number of days. For our example, set it to 14 days.

Save and Launch
That's it! Save your trigger and finish setting up your campaign. When it runs, NetSendo will automatically filter your recipients, sending only to those who subscribed within the last two weeks.
ℹ️ Note: The timeframe is calculated from the moment the campaign is sent. If you schedule it for the future, the "last 14 days" will be relative to the send date, not the creation date.
🎯 Expert Tips for v1.7.9
Combine the "Recent Subscribers" trigger with a "Tag" filter. For example, target users who subscribed in the last 7 days AND have the 'woocommerce-customer' tag for an ultra-specific new buyer promotion.
Is a 7-day, 14-day, or 30-day window more effective for your audience? Clone your campaign and adjust the trigger's timeframe to discover the sweet spot for driving conversions from new leads.
Use your most reliable (and perhaps most expensive) SMS provider as the default for a critical contact list (e.g., "Active Customers"). For a bulk prospecting list, override this with a cheaper provider by setting it at the message level for that specific campaign.
If a custom integration (like a Zapier or n8n workflow) isn't working as expected, the new API Request Log is your first stop. Check /settings/logs/api-requests to see the exact payload received and the response NetSendo sent.
