Add or Remove Tags For A Logged-In User
This powerful feature allows you to place buttons inside your site or in email automations that when clicked on will add and/or remove user tags.
Show The Field Value
This custom operation allows you to display the value of a custom field in the CRM (like the number of points a user has.)
Show Countdown Timer
If you want to display a countdown timer that is specific to each member, based on when they took a certain action – it’s totally possible. This can come in handy if you’re doing an evergreen promotion with a timed special offer that expires after a set amount of time for each visitor.
Tag-based split testing
Split testing your content is a quick and easy way to make sure you are presenting your members with the most effective, helpful materials. AccessAlly allows you to split test different content (on your AccessAlly site) and or different email sequences in your CRM.
On demand login creation
The on demand login creation feature for AccessAlly is a powerful tool used when you want to give immediate access to your free courses the moment a subscriber submits a CRM opt-in form. The on demand login feature is also indispensable when you are not storing user passwords in your CRM, since it logs the user in without revealing or storing their password.
