Some pepper with your email list?

Posted by Mathew Patterson on April 17, 2008

Recently we mentioned our Google Analytics integration, which is excellent for keeping up to date with what your subscribers do after they read your emails.

How about knowing when people signup to your lists though? You can already grab the new subscribers RSS feed (find it at the bottom of each list's details page in your account), but today we've spotted a great way to keep an eye on your lists, while watching the rest of your sites vital statistics.

Campaign Monitor customer Mark J Reeves has developed a plugin for Shaun Inman's popular Mint software. Mint is a tool for seeing recent page visits, referrals, searches and all kinds of statistics about your website right now. We use it ourselves on all our sites.

With Mark's plugin (called 'Peppers' in Mint terminology), you can see a list of people subscribing to a specific list in the last 24 hours. All you need to do is plugin your API key and ListID to get started.

Checkout the Campaign Monitor subscribers Pepper to download it. Thanks go to Mark for his development, it looks like he has plans to do more in the future.
