Almost one week to go until Christmas, however here at DNN Sharp we didn’t got into the festive spirit yet because we’ve been working on bringing you awesome-ness this month. Your wishes have finally come true! After much work, we’re proud to announce the much-anticipated update to My Tokens with a lot of killer new features and streamlined abilities. My Tokens 2.5 just arrived!
How Can My Tokens Help Me?
I'm glad you asked...
Well, if you're marketer, My Tokens will help you to easily personalize content for your customers. This means you'll be able to implement content personalization in DNN with tokens that pull user specific information.
In other words, using My Tokens you won't be stuck in the old marketing campaign mindset with messaging, execution, and delivery strategies that are out of context to the consumer. The marketing orchestration you'll be able to implement with My Tokens will result in a highly personalized experience for the customers that will map to each individual’s unique journey from discovery to purchase. You'll have an orchestrated approach to deliver consistent customer experiences which will result in higher revenue, increased loyalty, and greater internal efficiency.
If you're a power user, My Tokens will help you to pull data together to build dynamic content (metrics, dashboards, Google charts). Cool isn't it?
... And, of course, if you're a developer you can use My Tokens to expose data for content editors to use by easily integrating 3rd party systems (using admin console or C# assemblies).
What My Tokens Clients Have To Say
There were really many instances where we have seen the concrete benefits, the net effect My Tokens has on our clients’ well being. Having seen the below reviews for My Tokens, though, we can safely say that we do make a difference through our work… and that’s a great feeling...
I thought that DNN Sharp's Action Form module was awesome but this one (My Tokens) takes the prize. I used this module to pull the user's IP Address from DNN, retrieve users geo-location data with the IP address via MaxMind's REST API and then pass that geo-location data to our SalesForce.com web2lead form via Action Form. Simply Amazing. I am officially fans of these guys now. I may even put them on my Christmas card list. THANKS! Jeff C.
Hands down the best module I have installed! The My Tokens architecture is very powerful and if you know how to use DNN Tokens, this is a no brainer. If you are a developer who is still confused about how to develop a custom module for DNN, you can pretty much develop your entire module within My tokens. Kevin F.
All I can say is "Wow!" This is a really well thought out product with an excellent developer backing it up. The ability to use tokens for all kinds of purposes and integrations brings DNN to a whole new level. Add to that a company that is very knowledgeable and does what it says both timely and effectively and you have DNN Sharp. Patricia E.
I'm a huge fan of all their products. My Tokens is nothing short of an amazing tool that any developer needs on every site. The support is incredible. I'd give this product 10 stars if I could. Steve R.

Some Licensing Tweaks
If you’re an existing My Tokens user, there are a few things I want you to know before you upgrade.
1. Firstly, based on your feedback we've removed some licensing options:
- the Standard license that worked for one domain only was replaced by the old Extended Standard license, so that now it will work for unlimited subdomains of a given domain. The price decreased from $149.95 to $129.95
- the Server license was removed
If you already have one of the two license types that were removed, don't worry. You'll be able to upgrade to the latest version for 50% of the initial price. Just email us at support@dnnsharp.com.
2. To get the latest build you need to go to My Account > My Downloads while logged in on our website.

We’re really grateful to the My Tokens community for your patience during this update. We hope you enjoy this new version. For questions, issues, suggestions or feedback, please use the My Tokens forum. We can’t wait to see what you get up to with My Tokens 2.5!
