Custom fields API

We've improved how our API handles custom fields, with documentation on how to update them, as well as more powerful ways to read the information. To help you find what names to use for the fields when using the API, we've now added that information to the admin interface. Go to Contacts > Fields, click 'Edit' on one of the fields, and you'll see the link that says 'Show field names for API'. It shows you the field names like this. In the process we've also added two new API endpoints, 'Get contact by ID' and 'Find contact by email'. See our API documentation.

You can now upload videos directly from the sharable link you get from zoom, the one that gives you a web page with the video, instead of having to hunt for the link to the actual video file. I have no idea if this sentence makes sense to you, but just try it out. -Calvin

Reorganized the list of actions for automations and triggers and other things, so that the most common ones are at the top: email, text messages, and tags.

Feature
Mar 19, 2019

Skip automation step when wait exceeded

If you have a sequence that sends an email per day for 10 days leading up to the start of a course. If someone joins 2 days before, you don't want them to get the first 8 emails all at once. You only want them to get the last 2. That's exactly what this allows you to do. You can now tell an automation that it should skip a given step if the wait time has been exceeded. So if they join the automation after the time that we'd want to wait until, then we just continue right along to the next step.

Feature
Mar 15, 2019

Added a trigger on products for when a purchase has auto-renew turned off or on. This lets you initiate an automation that attempts to convince people to stay in your membership before their subscription actually expieres.

In Broadcasts, Preheader was listed in the 'Basic info' box, but could only be edited from the Body screen. That's obviously a bit lame. And fixed now.

You can now always log in using a 'magic' login link, that we'll send to your email, and which you can click to straight away log you in and get to where you were going. This applies to your customers as well, making it even easier for them to get to the content they're looking for.

Course lesson additional content

The way we displayed additional content on course lessons was a bit confusing. The filenames were kinda ugly and not terribly helpful, and they were too close to each other. Both of those have been fixed now. We WILL be adding the ability to add more content blocks on a course lesson, ie. more flexibility on how you structure your course lessons, but not right this instant. Please be patient a little longer.

Improvement

Made it possible to turn off auto-advance on testimonials sections on sites and landing pages. And defaulting to off, because it makes it hard for people to read ... as you're in the middle of reading one, it advances on you. Whoops! (Hat tip, Samuel Hulick for the usability point)

Fix
Feb 8, 2019
