NEW RELEASE Communications Improvements
Release 4
September 2, 2024
Campaign creation interface: an updated campaign creation screen with a visual tile layout is replacing the previous list of options. For a short period users can switch between the old and new designs, giving them time to adjust before the old version is retired.
Campaign creation - SMS & WhatsApp: a campaign containing an SMS or WhatsApp message can be created by selecting an option containing a Message from the new campaign creation screen, then activating the SMS/WhatsApp message in the left-hand menu.
Templates: Account Templates have been renamed Campaign Templates.
Release 5
October 1, 2024
Campaign creation menus: updated menus for Messages and Forms that replace tiles with a list of options. The new menus allow elements to be simply toggled on and off and provide visibility of all campaign elements, even if they are inactive.
“Decline” options: when toggling the “Decline” Email on, users will be alerted that doing so will also add a “Decline” button to their response form.
