When resuming a paused flow, what we used to do was calculate how long it was paused for (say 10 days), and just add that to the current wait time. So if it was originally to continue on Sep 1st, it'd now resume on Sep 10th. If you're doing something on a specific schedule, though, eg. the 1st of each month, or each Monday, then that's not helpful, because now it's thrown off schedule. It's a bit complicated, but here's what we came up with:

  • If you're waiting for a duration
    • If there are no adjustments (time of day, weekday, day of month), we just extend wait time with how long it was paused for.
    • Otherwise if the original time to continue has passed, recalculate the adjustments from now
  • All other wait times, we recalculate from now, in case the field value has changed, or the birthday or subscription period has passed.

This is all a bit complicated, but I think this should do what people would expect in every case. If not, we'll have to adjust again until we get it right. -Calvin

You can now add custom CSS for each section on a page, right there in the editor. We will automatically scope the CSS to the section in qusetion, and we'll also preprocess the CSS with both Liquid and SCSS, so you can use super-advanced markup, access your theme assets, and much more.

Improvement

Commitment was always a bit confusing. If you said $99/month, with a 3 month commitment, you'd expect them to be able to cancel after the first 3 payments, but that's not how it worked. Well, now it is, folks! Once you've paid for that third month, you're free to cancel any time.

Improvement
