We are excited to announce the release of Interspire Email Marketer v8.4.0! This update:
- Enhances platform security with Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) using authenticator apps
- Ensures continued Gmail access with OAuth support
- Introduces the ability to display the latest email campaign sent on your website
With the introduction of Authenticator App support for Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), Google OAuth support for mailbox authentication, and the ability to conveniently display the latest newsletters on your website, we’re taking important steps to ensure your email marketing operations are more secure and efficient than ever.
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) with Authenticator App Support
Building on our existing email-based 2FA, we are now introducing Authenticator App support for Two-Factor Authentication in Interspire Email Marketer. This new option provides an additional method to secure your account, giving you more flexibility in how you protect your email marketing data.
Why this matters:
Enhancing account security is important to prevent unauthorized access. By adding Authenticator App support option for 2FA, you improve the security of your account.
How it works:
Set up 2FA using popular authenticator apps like Google Authenticator, Authy, or Microsoft Authenticator. When logging in, enter the time-based one-time password generated by your authenticator app.
Benefits:
- Improved account security: Add an extra layer of protection to your email marketing data and campaigns.
- User-friendly: Easy to set up and use with widely available authenticator apps.
- Choice of methods: Use either email-based 2FA or the new authenticator app option, based on your preference.
- Quick access: Generate codes directly from your mobile device without waiting for an email.
This 2FA implementation is based on the RFC-6238 TOTP (Time-Based One-Time Password) standard, ensuring compatibility and reliability across various authenticator apps.
Google OAuth Support for Mailbox Authentication
As Google transitions its authentication methods for mailbox access, we’ve implemented OAuth support in Interspire Email Marketer to ensure continued seamless access to Gmail mailboxes for bounce email processing.
Why this matters:
- Google is phasing out less secure app access, making OAuth the preferred authentication method.
- This update ensures uninterrupted access to your Gmail accounts for managing bounce emails.
How it works:
Instead of entering your Google account password, you’ll authenticate using Google’s OAuth 2.0 protocol.
You’ll grant permission for your local instance of Interspire Email Marketer to access only the specific Gmail features needed for bounce processing.
Benefits:
- Continued access: Maintain uninterrupted bounce email processing as Google updates its security protocols.
- Enhanced security: OAuth provides a more secure method of granting access to your Gmail account.
- Granular permissions: Only the necessary access is granted to your local instance, improving overall account security.
This update ensures that your Interspire Email Marketer installation stays current with Google’s evolving security standards, allowing you to continue managing your email campaigns efficiently and securely.

How it works:
The new feature allows you to embed a code snippet on your website that automatically updates to display the latest email campaign sent through Interspire Email Marketer. This integration ensures that your website content is always synchronized with your email marketing efforts.
