Recent ShortStack upgrades
Here’s a look at the latest platform upgrades that have been made to ShortStack. For more details on individual enhancements, check out our blog.
Counting & Clarifying Emails
You will now see a count next to the email icon in the Campaign Builder. This count indicates the number of emails attached to the campaign. The background of the count will become red if any of the emails are inactive. Clicking open the email panel, you’ll be able to see at a glance which email(s) is/are inactive.
Our ShortStack family gets bigger!
Massive congrats to our teammate Brent and his wife, as they welcome their new baby girl into the world!
Small Tweak to Notifications
We’ve added “Mark All Read” and “Delete All” to the notifications drop-down on the Dashboard. Groovy.
Entry Export Time – No Longer a Guess
Exciting news for those who regularly export entries: An export time estimate is now shown just above the export button. This takes the guesswork out of when you can expect your email with that shiny new .csv or .zip file.
The Campaign Builder Gets Some Clarification
We’ve made some changes to the Campaign Builder to help you better understand the presence of containers. The Edit Widgets Panel has undergone some subtle tweaks, including highlighting all the child widgets of a selected container, a more distinctive style for Container Widgets, and a new image icon that appears when the container has a background image. Clicking this icon will open the Style Panel (if it’s not already open), select the widget and select the “This ___” tab in the Style Panel. In fact, selecting any widget now defaults to the “This ___” tab in the Style Panel. The background image preview in the Style Panel has been made larger, making it more obvious that an image exists. And now when the “Edit On” mode is active, all containers have a dashed outline (we used to only show outlines around containers when dragging). Also, when a container or widget has any visibility settings, there is now a patterned background applied.
Entry Bulk Actions Are Now Easier to Find
The entry bulk actions (“Copy to New List”, “Export Entries”, “Choose Winner”) in the Entries Manager are now separate buttons to aid in discoverability. The “I Want To…” drop-down menu is no longer displayed.
