Users are now able to insert partial quantities for products and items inside invoices. This helps many businesses that need to not have only whole quantities but partial quantities for accepting payments. Users are able to insert quantities up to 2 decimal places.
Automatic Sales Receipts Turned On By Default
Automatic sales receipts will be by default turned on for all new accounts created from now on. This means that users are not required perform any additional steps to send order/payment confirmations after a purchase has been made. The system will by default send a receipt as an attachment to the customer. Users will still be able to edit the receipt number prefixes, number sequencing, and templates used to send the attachments at any given point of time.
Calendars
In App Calendar View (Resource View – Side by Side Layout)
We’re thrilled to announce the rollout of our latest feature— Resource View (Side by Side Layout)! This innovative addition is designed to improve the booking management experience.
With Side-by-Side view, Users, Calendars, and Groups can now be seamlessly displayed in a convenient side-by-side format within the Day View. For example, in the User’s Day View, a horizontal list of users will be presented, each accompanied by their individual day calendar below their respective names.
By choosing the Day view, users can effortlessly compare schedules. This intuitive layout facilitates users in making quick and well-informed decisions, enhancing their overall scheduling experience.
One Time Link
A One-Time Link is a unique, single-use scheduling link to your calendar. It’s designed to automatically expire after a booking is made, ensuring heightened privacy and control over your availability.
This can be beneficial in instances where you wish to temporarily share your calendar for specific events or appointments, without providing continuous access to your entire calendar. It also prevents attendees from sharing your availability with others.
Note: You can now access your Calendar linksScheduling Link, Permanent Link, One Time Link and Embed Code from the “<> Share” option in calendar settings.
Customize Calendar Widget
This feature allows you to customize the look and feel of your widget. You can personalize colors, button text, and more, making your calendar uniquely yours.
What you can customize:
Primary Color: Define the color for buttons, dates, time slots, and actions.
Background Color: Set the backdrop color to create a visually appealing environment for your calendar.
Button Text: Customize the text displayed on the button when booking an appointment. Eg. Schedule Meeting, Book Appointment etc
Hide Calendar Details: Opt to hide Calendar Name, Description, and other details for a clean and focused display.
Please Note: This works only with Neo Widget.
Funnels And Websites
Margin Left & Right For Column Element
Due to the recent changes with column spacing where the default padding for columns were removed, we have introduced Margin left and right option for the column element if the user wishes to add spacing in between the columns.
This solves a major issue for adding column spacing after the recent update where we removed the default column spacing.
The margin left and right is applicable only for the desktop layout, with mobile layout support to be released soon.
Improvements to Accessibility
Duplicate Element IDs Resolved
We have addressed and rectified instances of duplicate element IDs across our funnel elements. This ensures a more seamless navigation experience for users relying on assistive technologies, as it eliminates confusion and enhances screen reader compatibility.
ARIA-Labels for Buttons and Anchor Tags
In this update, we’ve expanded the use of ARIA labels for buttons and anchor tags, providing more descriptive and meaningful information to assistive technology users. This not only improves the overall user experience but also ensures that interactive elements are correctly interpreted by screen readers.
Due to the above fixes and improvements, there is a significant increase in accessibility scores in page speed and lighthouse tests. We will continue to collect feedback and improve accessibility in our funnels and websites.
Note: A score of 100 can be achieved by the below tips.
Use background and foreground colors that have sufficient contrast ratio
Order the heading elements in a sequentially descending order

Hierarchical Alignment Settings
Users can now set separate font sizes for desktop and mobile views, ensuring optimal readability and visual consistency across various screen sizes.
Improved Mobile Editor
The mobile editor has been updated to include options for adjusting text alignment settings specifically for mobile responsiveness, making it easier for users to customize their designs for smaller screens. Now there is no need to create multiple sections and keep different alignment in multiple devices and hide from one device.

Customized button alignment across web and mobile
Text Alignment in Headline, paragraphs, Bullet list, etc across devices.

LC Phone
IVR Enhancements – Added Say/Play Option To Record Voicemail Action
We have added Play Beep and Add Voice Instructions to the Record Voicemail action
Play Beep – option allows users to enable playing a beep sound just before the recording, indicating that the recording has been started and users can start saying their message.
Add Voice Instructions – By enabling this, users can configure their message by simply writing it or uploading an audio file to play just before the recording, to convey their instruction. (eg. Please record your message after the beep.)
This will reduce the extra step of adding separate say/play action to convey the recording related message, and will avoid the delay between the say/play and voicemail action.
Note: These options will be disabled for users already using record voicemail , but can be enable d on the UI.
Social Planner
Image Editor
Users now have the ability to effortlessly undo and redo while editing images.
The Undo action reverts to the previous state and correct any errors, and experiment with various changes without the fear of irreversible consequences.
Users can navigate through multiple editing steps more efficiently by undoing or redoing actions, helping them find the desired outcome without starting the editing process over again.
Email Builder
Custom Field Preview
We are thrilled to introduce a significant enhancement to our email builder’s preview screen – the Preview Feature for Custom Field Rendering of contact information. With this new functionality, users can now preview precisely how custom fields will appear for their respective clients before sending out any emails. This feature also simplifies the testing process and eliminates the need to create fake test cases, allowing for a more efficient and cost-effective approach to email campaign management.
How to use:
Navigate to Marketing -> Email Templates to create your personalized email.
Within the Email Builder, incorporate custom fields of the contact based on your preferences.
Click on the three dots located at the top right corner to access the Preview Template option.
On the Preview screen, locate and select Preview Contact Info at the upper right corner.
By default, a contact’s information is displayed in the email. To preview as a specific contact, simply search for the desired contact from the search bar.
You’ll observe the contact’s information and custom field data on the right panel, alongside the email preview on the left. This gives you a glimpse of how the selected contact would view the email.
Utilize the search bar once more to find a different customer for further previewing.
