Contacts 

Sending Capabilities and New Stats Modal

We’re thrilled to announce a series of exciting updates that are sure to elevate your experience with our platform.

Enhanced Sending Capabilities

Now, all locations will start with 100k sends per hour, where the “New Bulk Email Architecture” is enabled, providing you with greater flexibility and efficiency.

These are applicable to only these two new sending options: “Send All at Once” and “Send at Scheduled Time.” Whether you prefer to blast your emails all at once or schedule them for optimal timing, we’ve got you covered.

New Stats Modal 

Introducing further statuses like Processed and Error states. We’ve also upgraded information about your email campaign’s sent rates

 

 

Conversations

Email collapsed view and thread view

The following bug fixes have been deployed:

• Fix for page hanging, after expanded before api fetching
• Subject shown instead of ‘no subject’
• Fix for display of Invalid Date for email items
• Fix for email collapsed view and thread view, showed ‘no subject’

 

Invoicing

Image in Terms And Notes

What’s New? 

• Users now have the capability to configure and add the Images to Terms and Notes in Invoices.
• Text Editor has different configurations / options to redirect post Image click  .
• We’ve also added the ability to add images to already sent invoices.

Why is this Important?

Currently this is a big ask from our customers in UAE as well as Europe, with one of the prime use cases being that the client can just attach a simple static QR code image on the invoice. This also solves many regulation issues in Saudi Arabia where with an invoice a QR code is mandatory!

How to Use it?

1. Go to Payments Tab -> Invoices ->  Settings tab -> Click on the Invoice Title and Terms
2. Scroll down to the text editor and you’ll also see an image icon click on it Voila you can now add images to the invoice title and terms.

 

Line Items Breakdown in Invoices Export

What’s New?

• Users would now have a detailed breakdown of the invoice line items in a particular invoice on exporting.
• The detailed breakdown for the invoice would consist of invoice line item details like item name, item description, tax on item, discount on item, itemId, currency.

How to Use it?

Go to Payments Tab -> Invoices –> Click on the Export Button and you’ll receive a mail with csv link for your export!

 

Order Forms

Product Description and Full Name Validation

Product description in order forms:

The product description toggle will now display the product description that is added by the user in the products screen. This allows the user to show their customized description in order forms. This option is by default turned OFF in new and existing order forms.

The existing product description (Recurring and trial information) now comes under the new label of “Pricing information”. This toggle is turned ON for new funnels, and existing funnels will retain the user’s preference.

This overall improves the understanding of these toggles as we noticed customers were confused with the existing product description toggle.

Full name validation in order forms:

Order forms now have a toggle called “Full name validation” present which would enable these forms to validate names entered. Upon turning this on, names entered will now need to have at least two parts, and some other small validations such as not allowing two special characters as a name, limited special characters, etc.

Turning this option off will retain the existing behavior of the field.

 

New Features

• Head to the Smart-list page
• Select all the contacts you wish to manage

What does this mean for you?

Pre Buffers in Calendars

Buffers represent additional time that can be added before and/or after an appointment. Previously, calendars only had post buffers. We are now excited to introduce pre-buffers as well, allowing users with more flexibility.

Important points to note:

• Buffers only apply to events booked through the booking widget or directly from the app. However, events created outside the app (e.g., Google, Outlook, iCloud) are taken into consideration when finding a free slot while scheduling a meeting with a buffer from the widget / app. This means that buffers cannot overlap with any other existing calendar event.
• If there’s a 30-minute appointment with 15-minute buffers before and after, someone else booking on the same day will see an available slot 30 minutes after the existing booking. This is due to two buffers being applied consecutively, as there will be a 15-minute post buffer for the existing appointment and a 15-minute pre-buffer for the new appointment.

How to Use?

1. Choose the calendar to which you want to add buffers for appointments.
2. Navigate to the “Availability” section.
3. Specify the duration you want for both the pre and post buffers and click on save.

 

Custom Form for Service Menu in Calendars

Introducing a highly requested feature – custom form for the service menu! Now, users have the flexibility to collect specific information from their bookers according to their unique requirements. You can now add customized forms to the Service Menu and gather precisely what you need.

 

Previously, the service menu collected only default information like name, email, and phone number from bookers. With this update, you can create personalized forms with all the fields you desire. These custom forms can be seamlessly integrated into your service menu.

When a booker schedules an appointment, they’ll be prompted to fill out your tailored form. You can conveniently view the submitted details within the app under Sites > Forms > Submissions.

Note:

Custom forms selected in the service menu will supersede any form selected at the individual calendar level.

How to Use?

• Begin by creating your custom form. Navigate to Sites > Forms > Builder.
• Craft your form with the specific questions you wish your clients to answer.
• Once your form is ready, proceed to Calendar Settings > Service Menu.
• Select the desired service menu and navigate to Service Menu Details.
• Under Forms, choose the custom form you’ve created and save your selection.

 

Create Products( or Services) inside the mobile app

We’re thrilled to announce our latest update to Payments on Mobile – Product creation! Accounts can now create Products( or Services) inside the mobile app. These Products can then be used for Invoices and for the Product Catalog inside the Point-of-Sale module.

• Upload product pictures: Upload an image relevant to your product that gets displayed inside the POS product catalog.
• Multiple pricing models: Easily define different pricing models for a single product. E.g. Standard price, Discounted price, Stock clearance price, etc.
• Define variants and variant pricing: Applicable only if a single price has been set for the product, this feature allows variants of the same product to be created based on the product’s properties. E.g. A jacket could have 2 variants – Size and Color.

5. On the second step, define the pricing models for this product. More than one price can be defined for a single product.
6. In case you define a single price for your product, you will have the ability to create variants for the product based on its properties. For multiple variants, you will have the flexibility to define pricing for each Variant combination,
7. On the last step, after defining the pricing/variants, you can review all the details around your product in a glance and choose to save or cancel the process.

• Variants: Created multiple variants for a Product? Use the product catalog to select the dedicated variant combination that your customer requires.
• Dynamic pricing: Based on the selected variant/pricing model and the quantity selected, the final amount will automatically be updated with no manual intervention!
• Cohesion with Keypad: Use the existing Keypad screen to add “Custom” items along with the items chosen from the Product Catalog to charge your customer.

You can increase or decrease the quantity using this counter.
6. In case a different variant combination of the same product needs to be added, click on the “+” button on the quantity counter and choose “New Customization”.
7. Once you have added products that you want to charge your customer for, you can head over to the checkout page to accept payment via tap to pay.
8. Bonus tip: You can manually enter the amount from the keypad screen as well as select products from the product catalog together. The amount will automatically be updated taking both the flows into consideration.

 

 

New Checkout Step to the POS module Inside The mobile app

We’re excited to announce the addition of a brand new checkout step to the POS module inside the mobile app! This checkout page will act as a source-of-truth for a POS sale made.

In case the contact you are trying to link doesn’t exist, no worries, you do not need to exit the flow. Just enter the name of that contact in the search bar and you will see a button to create a new contact for that customer. Once you enter the details and save the contact, you will automatically be brought back to the checkout screen with the contact already linked to this transaction!
6. Review and manage your item list. Products that are no longer needed can be removed at this step.
7. Once all the details have been reviewed and a contact has been linked, click on the “Charge” CTA to add an optional tip and open up the Tap to Pay screen.

 

LC Phone – Sole Prop accounts need to verify

Certain Sole Prop accounts need to verify if they are actually a Sole Prop Business.

TCR have flagged around 1572 sub-accounts that they think are not Sole Prop and can have an EIN with them.

We have introduced a banner on the dashboard page that states that “TCR has flagged your brand/campaign”

Why is this Important?

Effective March 6, 2024, non-compliant Sole Proprietor campaigns will be deleted.

The Sole Proprietor brand type for 10 DLC is meant for a small business that was never issued an EIN. Brands that register as a Sole Proprietorship that have an EIN are considered non-compliant. To stay compliant and prevent service disruption, brands and associated Campaigns that have an EIN must onboard as a Standard Brand and create a new campaign.

What do you need to do?

If you don’t have an EIN,

1. Click on Take Action
2. Click on I do not have an EIN
3. Agree to the two prompts on the next page which says that you do not have an EIN
4. Click Confirm and proceed
5. On the final page you will need to type confirm and submit
6. We will pass this info to TCR stating that you confirmed that your Sole Prop Brand is valid.

What if you don’t take action?

TCR will delete all the identified non-compliant 10DLC Sole Proprietor account and Campaign on March 6, 2024.
