Many may recall the Swiftpage eMarketing was initially introduced the same way in 2006, and sold as a value-add subscription which would later be incorporated into the core product in 2010.

Act! Marketing Automation (AMA) is the future of Swiftpage eMarketing as it features a dramatically superior editor (reminds me of the CMS editors in Joomla or Wordpress), a fully functioning workflow builder that can trigger additional actions, stages, and database changes, surveys, as well as comprehensive reporting.

We've seen a few hours of demonstrations of this new service, and for the first time we believe Act! has a product that can compete with the likes of Constant Contact & Mailchimp from a design perspective, while featuring the workflow capability of Pardot by SFDC - but at a small fraction of the cost (AMA entry level package is expected to be .5% of the annual cost of the lowest tier of Pardot). 

More importantly, AMA will be deeply integrated into the Act! core product with Act! v21, allowing users to work with groups and look-ups the way they're used to, while merging their database field data directly into their emails.

• will trigger automated email responses based on reader activity for more effective sales targeting
