NetSendo v1.7.13: Launch Your Affiliate Program

🚀 What's New in v1.7.13

This release transforms NetSendo into a powerful growth engine. We've moved beyond basic email marketing to give you a fully-featured, self-hosted platform to build and manage your own army of affiliates. Let's dive into the details.

A Complete Partner & Referral Toolkit

Your partners are your best marketers, and now they have the tools to succeed. A new "Your Referral Tools" card in the Partner Dashboard gives them instant access to their unique referral link and code. We've baked tracking deep into NetSendo's core:

• ✅ Unique Referral Links: Partners get a personal /ref/{code} URL.
• ✅ Automated Tracking: We use URL parameters and cookies to ensure every referral is accurately attributed.
• ✅ Lead Conversion: A successful registration through a referral link automatically creates a "lead" conversion for commission tracking.

Introducing the "My Team" Dashboard

Empower your partners with a comprehensive view of their own referral network. The new "My Team" page provides a hierarchical view of their direct and sub-referrals, complete with performance statistics. This turns your partners into true growth leaders.

# Partner Team Stats Example
- Total Team Partners: 52
- Direct Partners: 8
- Team Clicks: 1,420
- Team Conversions: 85

Critical Fixes to A/B Testing

⚠️ Important Fix: We resolved a critical issue where A/B tests were sending to 100% of recipients, ignoring the sample percentage. This fix ensures your tests run correctly on a small segment before you declare a winner.

Trust in your data is paramount. The A/B testing engine has been overhauled to correctly process the sample size, assign variants, and substitute the winning subject/preheader for the final send-out. Your A/B tests are now more reliable than ever.
