# Linx IJ470, status page

**Status: HOLD. Prepared, not sent, not posted.**
Last updated: Wednesday, November 4, 2026.

---

## Why it is on hold

1. The SFMA Manufacturing Expo is on November 5, 2026. The IJ470 launch would compete with the event for attention.
2. Jovan will confirm when the machine is available. The launch waits for that signal.

There is no fixed go-live date. The pack stays ready.

## What is ready

| Item | File | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Email blast, send 1 and follow-up | `email_blast.md` and `email_blast.html` | Ready. Do not send. |
| LinkedIn posts | `social_posts.md` | Ready. Do not post. |
| Facebook posts | `social_posts.md` | Ready. Do not post. |
| Instagram caption | `social_posts.md` | Ready. Do not post. |
| X post, optional | `social_posts.md` | Ready. Do not post. |
| Image brief | `image_brief.md` | Ready. Official IJ470 images still needed. |

## What is already live

| Item | Status |
|---|---|
| Linx IJ470 product page | Live at https://factronicsusa.com/product/linx-ij470 |
| Linx IJ375 URL | Client-side redirect to the IJ470 page. Verify or add a true 301 |
| Linx 8900 | Not in the product sitemap. Old URL returns the homepage with a 200 response |
| 8900 301 | Pending. Add it from the old URL to the IJ470 page or the Linx category |
| Stale 8900 FAQ on the IJ470 page | Pending. Remove it or answer it |

## Activation

When Jovan says the machine is available:

1. Confirm the date and the launch window.
2. Confirm the sending list in HubSpot.
3. Replace the email tokens: `{{first_name}}`, `[[EMAIL_HEADER_IMAGE_SRC]]`, `[[UNSUBSCRIBE_LINK]]`.
4. Send a test to yourself and to your phone.
5. Send the email.
6. Publish the social posts in the order listed in `social_posts.md`.
7. Confirm the product page is still live and the IJ375 redirect still works.
8. Add the 8900 301 if it is not done yet.
9. Watch the replies and the meeting bookings for 48 hours.

## What is still needed

1. Official IJ470 product images, or authorization to download them from ExtraLinx.
2. Jovan's signal that the machine is available.
3. The HubSpot list for the launch.
