“ContactMonkey’s Dynamic Content tool has saved me hours. I no longer have to copy and paste, I don’t have to duplicate emails—I can do it all in one. That also means I’m not trying to track 5 different emails. Instead, I’m just tracking one email that has gone to the entire company. It’s saving me time, brain space, and errors that happen in duplication.”
