Partnership with NiftyImages partnership

NiftyImages Integration

Today we’re thrilled to announce a new partnership with NiftyImages! NiftyImages is a growing technology company located in Sacramento, CA that provides real-time personalization for email campaigns.

A market-leader in this space, NiftyImages offers its’ customers the ability to integrate dynamic content into their email campaigns, including:

• Personalized images that change based upon the recipient’s name (or any other data)
• Customizable countdown timers that update every time a user re-opens the email
• Live social media feeds with collages that update every 15 minutes to display new content
• The ability to change images and text even after email campaigns have been deployed.

With the new AddEvent-NiftyImages integration, NiftyImages customers will now be able to use AddEvent’s add-to-calendar buttons in their email campaigns! The integration allows users to create a rule-set that detects the email client of the email recipient. It will then display the appropriate add-to-calendar button for that recipient in their email, based upon the email client that was detected.

No coding knowledge is required. We make it easy to give your recipients a quick and effortless way to add your events to their calendars. The remainder of this article will illustrate how to use the integration.
