This release focuses primarily on bug fixes and under-the-hood improvements, but we made sure to sneak in a couple new features, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/directmailmac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/share-to-pinterest.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1378\" width=\"730\" height=\"287\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve added an easy way to share your great email content across popular social media platforms. You can now post your campaigns to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Pinterest via the \u201cShare\u201d menu in the toolbar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/directmailmac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/google-sheets-blog-banner.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1383\" width=\"425\" height=\"230\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Google Sheets integration has been updated to be more secure and easier to use. Direct Mail will now sign you in to your Google account via your web browser (e.g. Safari, Chrome, Firefox, etc.) instead of asking you for your password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This update will automatically roll out to your Mac over the next few days. If you want it right away, just choose \u201cDirect Mail > Check for Software Update\u201d from the menu bar at the top of your screen. Customers who downloaded Direct Mail from the Mac App Store will need just a tad more patience as we wait for Apple to approve the update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A sneak peek at what\u2019s next<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We wanted to share with you a glimpse of some of the improvements in the pipeline for both Direct Mail and <a href=\"https:\/\/directmailmac.com\/stamps\">Stamps<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/directmailmac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/template_image.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1389\" width=\"730\" height=\"578\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Direct Mail\u2019s built-in template gallery is expanding!
