WHAT'S FRESH? 

THESE ARE THE RECENT CHANGES TO SIMPLERO

Improvement
Oct 1, 2018

You can now add column for credit balances to the Contacts view

Fix
Oct 1, 2018

Create credit while granting, grant to contact that doesn't have any credits currently.

Feature
Oct 1, 2018

Credits

Named units that you can grant, sell, consume, so you can sell it now to be consumed later. Eg. 10 sessions for $x, and those sessions can be consumed when needed. You create a product for it, you can have prices that require a minimum quantity purchase, you can even create subscriptions where credits are granted each month/week/etc. Credits can have an expiration so if they're not consumed within that time frame, they expire.

Feature
Sep 30, 2018

Contact notes: Edit and delete notes. Added a separate page for the notes to make it more manageable when you have lots of notes on a contact. Added title and kind to note, and allow you to select which admin to associate with the note.

Improvement

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

Feature

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
Sep 2, 2018

Made a bunch of improvements to the theme editor. Cleaned up navigation between customize theme, edit custom CSS, and edit code. Show when folders are open/closed in code editor.

I broke duplicating steps in automations, and now I fixed it. While I was at it, I decided that duplicated a templated email step should duplicate the email as well, so now it does.

Optimization
Aug 22, 2018

Improved how we process auto-responses internally to make it significantly more efficient

Fix
Aug 21, 2018

Product duplication: price "replaces price" and order form "hide the checkbox where we encourage..." are now correctly duplicating

Improvement
Aug 16, 2018

Show link to manage payment on purchase on admin.

Improvement
Aug 16, 2018

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
Aug 16, 2018

Fix
Aug 15, 2018

Duplicating a step was missing a couple wait-related parts

Fix
Aug 15, 2018
