The latest product updates on Waypoint.

Waypoint's new dynamic colors feature allow teams to theme email templates based on data. This is especially useful for vertical SaaS platforms (eg. software for yoga studios) that want to apply their customer's branding and colors on email templates instead of their own. View an example/tutorial.

At the heart of Waypoint's template builder is the use of data variables to apply the dynamic elements of a template. While these variables are most often used for dynamic text and images, they can now be used to set dynamic colors on a template or layout.

Dynamic color variables

From a template or layout builder, simply click on the {} icon next to a color within the global 'Styles' tab to set a theme color override based on data. Example: {{company.brandColor}}.

Track usage (and any overages) easier on Waypoint.

All of our subscription tiers come with a base set of emails included on each plan. For example, our starter plan includes 10,000 live emails sends. To help teams better track usage, we've added a simple report within the billing section on your workspace settings page.

Additionally, any overages are now automatically calculated and billed as part of your monthly invoice.

Note: If you are currently on a paid workspace and not seeing this, you should see it at the start of your next invoice cycle.

Teams can now preview a Waypoint email template via API. This is especially helpful for teams that want to show a preview of an email (within their platform) before sending through Waypoint. For example, an invoicing platform.

Use the new endpoint and optionally pass in custom data or with your template's test data to get the processed HTML template as a response.

POST /v1/templates/TEMPLATE_ID/preview
