GetResponse

MKT AUTO
Velocity5.0

Online marketing platform with email, landing pages, and automation

GetResponse keeps removing the setup step between connecting a store and sending to it.

Current state
Ecommerce is now the centre of the product rather than an add-on. Promo prices show original and sale price side by side in product blocks across Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Shoper and custom API integrations. Thirteen ready-made ecommerce segments — abandoned cart, repeat buyers, first-time buyers and more — ship usable the moment a store is connected, and Shopify customer tags sync automatically to drive segments and automation triggers. AI Insights, the campaign analysis layer, gained PDF export.
Where it's heading
The consistent move is deleting configuration work rather than adding capability. Pre-built segments replaced rule-building in April and returned in August as ecommerce-specific ones; Shopify tags import the store's existing customer model instead of asking marketers to rebuild it; promo pricing pulls sale data straight from the catalog. Each release makes GetResponse inherit more of what the store already knows, which shortens time-to-first-send and deepens the dependency on the store connection.
Prediction
Expect the ready-made pattern to keep extending into automation flows themselves — pre-built ecommerce workflows rather than only pre-built audiences — since the segments now exist to target them.

    A feature you've been asking for...Promo prices are here 🔥

    Product blocks can show original and sale prices side by side, across every supported store platform and the custom API. Small on its own, but it continues the pattern of pulling merchandising data straight out of the catalog rather than asking the marketer to key it in.

    13 ready-made ecommerce segments, already built

    Thirteen store-specific segments — abandoned cart, repeat buyers, first-time buyers — ship ready to use once a store is connected. This is the April pre-built segments idea narrowed to ecommerce, and it removes the segment-building step that sat between connecting a store and sending to it.

    AI Insights now exports to PDF

    Campaign performance analysis can now leave the product as a PDF. A small addition, but it points at who the AI analysis is actually for — marketers reporting upward, not marketers editing in place.

    What's New at GetResponse: Product Recommendations, Price Drops & Shopify Sync

    A roundup bundling product recommendations, price-drop campaigns and Shopify sync into one announcement. Individually incremental, together they mark the point where the ecommerce feature set became the headline rather than an add-on.

    Shopify merchants are now using their customer tags in GetResponse

    Shopify customer tags — VIPs, repeat buyers, lapsed customers — sync automatically on paid plans and can drive segments, personalization and automation triggers. GetResponse is choosing to inherit the store's own customer model rather than ask marketers to rebuild it.

    [Pre-built segments] Skip the setup, send to the right people

    Ready-made audiences across engagement, signup source, contact details and list quality remove the rule-building step for common cases. This is the generic version of the pattern that later ships as ecommerce-specific segments in August.
