Add geolocation to your reports based on the IP address of views. Allow segmentation based on this

Love that my idea worked its way into the product. WOOT!

I do not have a date to give at this time. We have done plenty to get such things implemented. It is more a matter of getting it worked into the downloaded/hosted solutions in a way we are comfortable with. It is not something we are looking to release when it is not fully complete (meaning we want segments, actions, reporting, etc.. all to be fully implemented at the same time)

Jason and Milos when will this feature be implemented? Maybe you can say the approximately terms?

Mailchimp also has the SocialPro and what? ActiveCampaign still is the good software.

Just switched from Mailchimp where they had this feature as a part of their reports. I think your site overall is much better but was disappointed in the lack of reporting features especially the lack of geolocation data.

Great!
Don't forget about segmentation based on geo. -

yes this is very important feature for our work
we are waiting your company to add it to your software , to purchase it.
we are waiting and preparing to start our work, and we are looking now for the best software to start our work, depending on this point mainly.
we hope to add this point to your software as soon as possible, and this does not take a long time. -
Using analytics should do this. We are looking into how we want to implement geo features. Nothing planned out for sure yet - but geo is coming at some point.

Please do this. Does using Google analytics track the location of users.

I've included this feature as a necessary aspect of sending out a "Newsletter Campaign", and I agree that it is extremely useful for any campaign.
I try very carefully to start sending my campaign so that the messages arrive at the best possible time. This has been almost impossible to do in the past, and the best I could hope for was to send really early in the morning and hope that recipients get their emails sometime mid-morning.
However, if the recipient is in another time zone then all this effort is usually in vain. The only way at the moment would be to split the list up into different countries (and different timezones for USA) and then set up a delay for each list, depending on the timezone as you initiate each campaign the night before.
It's a real headache. It would much more convenient to tell the system to send the campaign out at, say, 09:30 according to the USER's local time, not the system time.
And it would be quite easy to implement. Just create an extra subscriber field called timezone, which contains the offset from GMT (+1, +2, -1, -2).
For users subscribing themselves (either in a form or via a link), it would be useful to have a function that detects the timezone based on the IP address - but you might want to change the timezone manually, say if the subscriber happens to have been overseas when he/she signed up, or relocates to a new timezone in the future. (The subscriber might want to set the preferred timezone him/herself!)
And make sure this implementation takes summer time into account where appropriate.

The ability to schedule email campaigns by recipient timezone would be a powerful marketing option, would this be included?
-
IP address can be imported/synced if your external source (or a file) has a column for IP addresses. Otherwise, the subscriber will receive 127.0.0.1 (localhost) address, since server (admin) added it and not subscriber on his own.
Campaigns on the other hand have their own IP records for subscribers as a part of open/link tracking. Geolocation will be added for both List Reports (subscription IPs) and Campaign Reports (read/link tracking IPs).

Hi, the IP address of the email viewer /and clicker should be recorded. Today that is not the case. In the subscriber page there is an IP but if you import a list there is no IP there and it should be populated by the viewer....

That would be great for map reports, geo target campaigns, etc... :)
-
The IP is recorded and currently shown on the subscriber view page.. We have some geo features we hope to incorporate in the near future.

Segmentation based on geolocation? Coool!

Hi, we need to know the IP address of the Viewers / Suscribers, as it was on version 4. Please, that feature is important to use Geolocation of the users UNTIL the feature asked on this feedback could be implemented.
