Dynamic image and conversation history handling in email sequences
Week 11, 2025 — March 10 to March 16
Personalizing your outreach just got even easier. When composing email sequences in FirstQuadrant, you can now dynamically insert images into your messages using placeholders (such as {image1}
, {image2}
, etc.). Images are automatically replaced with your unique content, allowing for customized visual engagement in every sequence. Additionally, prompts for emails with conversation history are smarter, enabling you to include more tailored instructions and context—helping you craft more compelling and relevant outreach with less effort.
Expanded pricing and user tiers
Explore the redesigned pricing page featuring expanded plan details and clear user tier breakdowns.
