πŸ”₯ Week 4 Updates πŸ”₯

New Cancel If Action for Automations

We have recently added a new cancel if action on automations to stop action steps from firing out for contacts that are no longer earning ranks in a particular rank system. This new option will only appear on automations based on when someone earns a rank and the cancel if action will only work for the rank system connected to the automation. You will be able to find this new option by creating/editing an action step and scrolling to the bottom of the page.

The Continue Button Has Been Made Optional of Forms/Surveys

You will now be able to choose if you want the 'Continue' button to appear on the 'Thank You' page of your form/survey(s) or not. This can help prevent contacts from making multiple form submissions or help prevent confusion. You will be able to find this new setting by editing your form/survey and scrolling to the general settings field on the page.

Bug Fixes/Adjustments:

  • Fixed an issue with contacts being able to change their names and email addresses on file via checkout page purchases.

  • Fixed an issue with former students appearing on the Quit Contacts report multiple times.

πŸ”₯ Week 1 Updates πŸ”₯

New Option to Duplicate Products

With this new option you will be able to quickly and easily make duplicates of your existing point of sale products and variants.

Emojis on Saved SMS Replies
