We’ve fully modernized the extensive amount of code that powers our What’s Happening emails. Because of the importance and complexity of this feature, we’ve been very gradually rolling out the modernized code over the last couple of months, and have completed the rollout as of this week. While there will be little-no-visual changes, this is a large and important milestone in our ongoing effort to modernize the technologies powering our platform. This also paves the way for the numerous new features planned for our What’s Happening emails!

Communities in Belize & Portugal can now use our platform, plus addresses in these countries can now be added to accounts.

We introduced a dedicated “What’s Happening emails” subsection to the settings, to facilitate the planned improvements to the What’s Happening emails. This subsection currently just contains the existing setting for managing the default frequency, which moved from the “members” section settings.

A small improvement: we added icons to fields within the “Community information” settings, to help quickly convey what each field controls. This is especially useful on the “Formatting” tab (pictured below).

You can now send summaries of newly made online payments to email addresses of your choosing! These emails summarize new online payments on a frequency of your choosing (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly), and can be delivered to up to 10 recipients.

We moved the “Header” field to the “Edit text” page when managing the content of the homepage via the Admin Portal. The field was previously located under the homepage settings, but collocating all of the text fields on one page is a more intuitive design.

We improved all of the messages that could be displayed when a problem is detected with a row in a member import file, to be more clear and descriptive. Where possible, we added more detail to the messages to better identify what was found and how to resolve it. This should help make the member import process even more intuitive.

We introduced a new “Customize the member registration settings” step to the onboarding checklist, to encourage new customers to review these settings and make any necessary changes to fit their community.

We added two helpful links to the user dropdown at the top right of the Admin Portal: a “Preferences” link to your contact preferences, and a “My communities” link to your registered communities.

We improved some of the verbiage for activity log entries related to domain transfers to ensure the wording was clear, consistent, and easily searchable using the term “domain” in the Admin Portal.
