Bugs found in Zembula SaaS
Zembula is an AI-powered SaaS platform designed for launching successful marketing campaigns. It works with any email service provider or a marketing cloud, and you can also integrate it with any of your data sources. What’s great about Zembula is that it allows marketers with zero coding skills to create competitive and engaging campaigns: all they need to do is to paste a code snippet into their email templates. One of its distinctive features is that the email content updates in real time, the moment the user opens it. What’s more, Zembula uses AI to determine best-converting emails or notifications faster than traditional A/B testing, and you can also test multiple variants simultaneously. With Zembula’s visual editor, marketers can easily customize each email block and even convert an entire webpage into an email. The most exciting part of the Zembula platform is its interactive media experiences, such as Scratch-it, Tap-it, Peel-it, Shake-it, Slide-it, Trace-it, and Explode-it, that entertain users and at the same time prompt them to act immediately.

Although minor, inaccuracies here and there do affect the overall image of the Zembula brand.
