Append "test" to subject lines for test sends
There are times (ok, LOTS of times) when we send more than one test in a campaign. It'd be swell if these were clearly identifiable in the inbox. Automagically adding [Test] (or something similar) at the beginning of test send subject lines would be helpful.

We are reviewing this again to put it on the plan and are currently looking at the approach mentioned in the comment from 2/17. In the mean time, please add them to a list so you do not miss out on gathering metrics for your send.

Create dynamic field for promotion codes
To be used within HTML code for emails, whether manually uploaded or within templates, a Special Tag like %%promo%% would be inserted. Upon composing this new message using this code the sender can enter in a Promotion code that would populate the special tag %%promo%%. Much like how a subject line is handled for each email, you can enter in a new promo code for each email you send out regardless of recipient.

We are evaluating a dynamic coupon code system, but have no release date estimates to share at this time. Please continue to vote, if you’re interested, so we can better prioritize this. Thanks!

Date Ranges In Reports
Optional start and end dates for all reports. Particularly important for ongoing triggered messages and potentially useful when viewing any data.

This work has been planned and is being done as part of a larger effort to add better filtering to certain grids and reports. Stay tuned!

Most Engaged Report
This may also fit into reports, but wasn't sure. I love the "Clean Contacts" feature, but would love to see the inverse of "non-engaged." In other words, I want to be able to create a list of my MOST ENGAGED contacts - those who have opened or clicked at least one (or at least 2 or at least 5 or ALL) of the previous X number of messages sent.

We plan to provide this functionality through our new segmentation system, giving you added flexibility to really take action and target those engaged customers.

Enable the report “Message Metrics After Send” to report all key metrics, not just Opens and Clicks
I suggest that the report “Message Metrics After Send” (under the reporting tab) report ALL key metrics, including: emails sent, delivered, opened, clicked, conversions, revenue, and contact loss. Reporting on opens and clicks is not enough!

Current design currently under review for potential improvements.

Allow a workflow action to call a remote API
In a case where a workflow is meant to try to bring a user back, we might want to provide a special enticement (such as a coupon). Since Bronto is processing the workflow, there really needs to be a way to notify our system that this action was taken (so, for example, that coupon will known to be valid for that specific user). The ideal case is simply to be able to have the workflow fire off a call to a remote API (i.e. my system's API) to let it know that something has changed.

Add a "contains"/"does not contain" in dynamic content logic
Add a "field contains"/"field does not contain" rule to the dynamic content editor.

Generate QR codes as vector files.
Allowing scalability of QR codes would be helpful in print production.

Have a segment for Not Opened in Past X
If I clean contacts, I can pull based on people who have not opened any of last XX emails. However, I have to constantly manage this. It would be nice if it were a segment that always updated.
This would save me from always creating lists and then having to remove the list and recreate it from "Clean Contacts".

This functionality is being included in the design of our new segmentation system.

provide newsletter integration with Magento Checkout
We would like to see an extension available for Magento that facilitates or adds on to the Magento Check out process, and that it connects to your systems with an auto reply optional.

Integration with Magento’s newsletter signup is currently being worked on and will eventually be available on Magento Connect.

More info on which webform a contact signed up from
In our reporting, I see we can view overall contact growth. Is there a way to report contact growth by location of opt-in? We have a sign-up page as well as a check box in our checkout process. I'd like to see how they are performing and wanted to see if there was a way I could get this information from you.
-----------------
Ideally, we would offer segmentation on this and the information would be exportable.

We have started work on how we will track and store this information – I will update this when we start working on an interface and have a schedule for delivery

Set message type on API creation
Need a way to set the message type when adding a message. Also need a way to read what the message type is from the API (Email, Twitter, Facebook, SMS, etc)

Include a segment option that gives you date searches included.
For example: I want to send an email to anyone who has opened an email within the last 3 months. And i want the segment to be automated.

select, copy, paste, and move multiple WF items at a time
Its really hard to make quickly copy parts of a workflow. this would speed up the ability to build WFs. Also, if changes need to be made early in a WF, you can move multiple items at once.
If i had 100 votes, this would get it all of them.

RSS FEED: ability to insert a link to the feed automatically when creating a message
When a RSS Feed is created and a message is assigned to it, in order to allow recipients to subscribe to the RSS an icon and hyperlink has to be manually created by grabbing the hyperlink first from the Content --> Feeds page.
Nice to have ability to insert a link to the feed automatically when creating a message. Possibly a list of RSS Feeds that have been created presented in a drop down box to choose from in edit mode. Once selected the icon and link would be inserted.

Great idea, Joni, thanks! We are looking to see where we can fit this into our dev schedule.

Multiple search criteria for contacts
I'm often looking for a specific person but have only a name - maybe they have multiple emails in Bronto. If their name is common (Jones) I have to look through multiple pages to find the right one. I'd like to search for Jones and THEN in that list search by First name or another field.

Will be considered for a future enhancement. Can currently be accomplished through segmentation.
