Snapshots 

Create and Push Snapshots with Unlimited Funnels

The ability to create and push snapshots with unlimited funnels is live for everyone now. Previously, users were unable to create snapshots for locations with over 100 funnels due to sync processing time constraints and memory issues.

Funnels are now processed through v2 snapshots, leveraging a new method that should resolve all of the issues we had before.

How Does It Work?

Deleting a File: Simply click the delete icon next to the file in the multi-file upload field in the form/survey preview.

Accessing File Links: In CSV exports, email notifications, and auto-responders, each file uploaded through the multi-file upload field will have its link provided.

Google Organic Booking – Disable Integration

In this release, we introduce the option for users to disable Google Organic Booking, providing greater control over their online presence.

Now, users have the option to disable Google Organic Booking with a simple toggle in Calendar Settings. By disabling the integration, the system refrains from uploading any feed to Google. Consequently, the end customers won’t find the option to discover and book services directly from a business’s Google My Business (GMB) listing.

How to Use? 

1. Navigate to Calendar Settings > Connections Tab
2. In the Account Connections tab, locate the Google Organic Booking section.
3. Toggle the switch to disable Google Organic Booking.

This feature is a crucial step towards implementing Google Organic Booking Auto Opt-In, where every location with at least one service menu or group will be automatically enrolled.

This feature gives users more control; if someone decides not to leverage Google Organic Booking, they can easily toggle off the switch and disable the integration.

Collective Booking In-App Appointment Modal – ‘Dynamic Team Assignment’

In this release, users can now seamlessly shuffle between team members and dynamically add them on the fly, providing greater flexibility and efficiency in managing collective bookings.

What’s New? 

Dynamic Team Member Selection: Previously, users were limited to choosing team members added to a collective calendar when booking appointments. Now, users can add any team member from the list directly in the in-app modal.

Flexible Combinations: Users can now create custom team member combinations for appointments without the need to pre-configure multiple calendars.

How to Use?

1. Navigate to the appointment booking modal and select the desired collective booking calendar.
2. Click on the users dropdown and choose one or more team members to add to the appointment.
3. If a selected team member is unavailable, the system will notify you. You can then switch the user or add a custom time slot.
4. The first team member added to the appointment will be designated as the appointment owner. If this user was not originally part of the calendar, you have the option to assign a custom location for enhanced flexibility.

This feature is designed to cater to service-based businesses such as Home Cleaning Services, Landscaping Companies, Plumbing Services etc. that often determine team assignments at the last moment.

By enabling users to dynamically select and add team members, we cater to different use cases, improving operational efficiency.

Funnel & Website Builder

New margin and padding selector

The funnel builder now has the new spacing component redesign. The new component now has less clutter and is more user friendly. Users can now select a variety of units which includes px em rem %  auto vh vw.

Additionally, the beloved slider is back! Based on the units the users select, the range of the slider would appropriately change. A set of suggested values are present for each unit for quick selection.

Capture Country and Zip Code Along With Credit Card Information on Order Form Payments

Users will now be able to enable capturing of Zip Code and Country along with the credit card information for order form payments. This solves the pain point of capturing complete billing details when the additional details are not required for the business use case.

Users will be able to enable this setting inside the funnel/website builder settings for order forms. This setting is only applicable for Authorize.net and NMI connection. The captured zip code and country will be sent to the respective payment provider as the billing details.

Payments

Customer Payment Information Now Available On The Contacts Page 

Users will now be able to see payment information and history on the contact details page. This makes it easier to scroll through the payments made, invoices sent and subscriptions associated with the contact along with their respective status.

By default, the last 5 entries would be shown in the list view for each category and users can click to view more if required. This is in addition to the customer LTV displayed and the ability to charge a custom amount for the contact without leaving the contact details page

Workflows

Drip Action Enhancement

Previously, the Drip action did not respect the Global Time window from the workflow settings page, thus hindering the usage of drip to it’s fullest potential. This has been fixed, and the Drip action will respect the time window.

Number Formatter and Date Formatter Actions are Now Free of Charge

As part of our commitment to enhancing your experience, we are making changes to our pricing structure for the Number Formatter and Date Formatter actions.

Both the Number Formatter and Date Formatter actions will no longer be premium features. We are thrilled to make these essential formatting tools accessible to all our users at no additional cost.

Campaigns

Conversion Metrics for Email Campaigns

We’re thrilled to unveil a groundbreaking feature in our email campaign analytics—Conversion Metrics! Now, you can dive deeper into the performance of your email campaigns by tracking revenue attribution directly within FG Funnels. Gain insights into the revenue generated by each email campaign, and make informed decisions based on the direct impact of campaigns on your sales.

The attribution window is flexible, and can be customized to suit your analysis needs. By default, it’s set to 5 days, reflecting the influence of campaigns on customer decisions within this timeframe. You’ll be able to extend the window up to 60 days.

How It Works:

• Utilizes the “last touched” campaign logic to attribute revenue to the most recent email campaign that influenced a customer’s decision.
• In the default setting (5-day window), the last opened or clicked email campaign within the last 5 days gets credit for the conversion/ sale made.
• This window is editable.

The instance provided below demonstrates the functioning of email attribution. It’s essential to recognize that the scenario is based on the default 5-day email attribution window.

Example Scenario

Day 1:

You send an email to your subscriber, and they open it to view the offer.

Day 4:

Eventually, they return to make a purchase of that product.

In this case, revenue would be attributed to the initial email since it falls within the 5-day attribution window. However, if the customer were to make the purchase on day 12, the revenue would not be attributed to the original email.

How to Use:

• Navigate to Email Campaign Statistics under the Marketing Section.

• Explore the “Conversion Metrics” section to view revenue attribution statistics.

• To edit the attribution window, (default is 5 days and is extendable to 60 days), access the settings page
