Recent ShortStack upgrades

Now when configuring an Action Widget, the IFs and WHENs are now configured in separate sections – this should make it a bit more clear that they serve different purposes. We’ve also added in some actions that can apply to the entire campaign: Refresh, Redirect campaign, and Wait. Add an Action Widget to your campaign today and check it out!

The wording in the Voting Restrictions section of the Entry Display Widget was changed to help alleviate some confusion. We replaced only with add an interval and disable interval. In the Action Widget, to help folks avoid misconfiguring things during setup, we now provide warnings when we detect anti-patterns (a.k.a. bad practices). At the moment, only one anti-pattern is detected: Submitting a form and hiding it in the same Action Widget. This is a bad practice because it will hide any server-side messages (such as a failed reCaptcha or failing the entry restrictions).

We’ve added a do-it-yourself list import feature for folks on Enterprise plans. If you have access to this feature, you’ll see a new dialogue when clicking the Import List button in the Lists Manager. You can only import into a new list (so no adding to existing lists), but you can name and tag the new list when you are uploading your CSV file. Once you agree to the terms, the file will be processed and entries imported – you’ll receive an in-app notification when it’s finished (or if there was an error).

A few new filters have been added to the Entries Manager. You can now filter entries by City, State/Province, and Zip/Postal Code – as long as that information was collected as part of the form where the entry was submitted.

New bulk actions are now available in the Entries Manager! These changes will apply to all entries matching the current filter set in the Entries Manager. These new action items are available for you in the Actions drop-down menu in the top-right of the manager screen.

The way to select/deselect mass quantities of entries in the Entries Manager has been given a powerful little tweak. Now, instead of a Select/Unselect All button, we have a checkbox that you can use to toggle through selection states. Select some entries, and you’ll see it list the number of selected entries. Click the same checkbox once to deselect all currently selected entries. To select all currently showing entries, just click the checkbox again and it’ll update appropriately.
