The Outlook & Sync blog

The new  ReplyButler 4.00 is available and brings great news. The biggest one  is the support for the plentyMarkets shop system. If you’re running such a shop, you’ll see immediately the key data for each e-mail: customer number, address, order number, status and package number.

The text modules can also use the shop system’s data. Such a text module might for example automatically include the package number of the customer’s most recent order. If that’s not enough there’s a hotkey to bring you from the e-mail or e-mail list to the customer page in your shop administration.

Furthermore the text modules can now include images and add new recipients to the e-mail.

And if you’re using a different CRM / shop system, you can configure the mentioned features yourself manually.

More information about ReplyButler for Outlook and text modules can be found on the homepage, and there’s a new sub-page just for plentyMarkets.

The new version 4.0 of Easy2Sync for Outlook is available. While the previous version only had a “half” support for Outlook 2010, this release completely supports the new Microsoft Outlook version.

Even the combination of the 64 bit mode with other / older 32 bit Outlook versions is supported.

Today we’re starting our new project “A blog, a tree”.  For each blog that writes about this project and uses the selected tree button we will plant (together with “I plant a tree”) a tree. (At our cost.)

Each blogger can choose between 4 tree species, for this blog a pine tree will be planted:

Please help us spread the word and give us a reason to plant many, many trees. If you want to take part, you can find here more about the project: A blog, a tree.

(And don’t wait too long, we only have 1000 trees to plant.)

The new version 3.01 of ReplyButler is available and introduces several nice new features.

Now it’s not only possible to set the subject or add attachments using a text module, but you can also add CC or BCC. As a second new feature, you can now automatically include the first line from a text file into your boilerplate text (e.g. for a personal promo code).

Administrating the text modules has become easier, too.  Now they’re not only available as menu, but the sidebar also shows them in a tree view.

The update and all information about the program can be found on the product page: ReplyButler – Text modules for Outlook.

When answering customer e-mails it’s often helpful to quote URLs for more information. To avoid typos, you can use ReplyButler’s text module engine to store them nicely in menus.

And now comes the interesting part: If your website is multi-language, you can store multiple URLs (pointing to the same page, but in different languages) in the same text module. It’s still just one text module. Just one item that you have to click on. But ReplyButler knows that there’s more than one URL and will use the URL that you have entered for the language that was used in the current e-mail.

Automatically.

The question remains, but the answer was just updated. The new version offers an improved support for netbooks with a low screen resolution and allows to “freeze” the list.

If you’re wondering what you computer is doing, you can find the answer here.
