Hope you are doing well, fellow Enchargians. This week have many new things to share — new features, improvements, and bug fixes, so let's dive in!
New features
This one is for the real data scientists among you. With this advanced API feature you can receive a real-time stream of all events that happen to people in your Encharge account. And by all, we really mean all — everything that we record in our database can be sent to yours — email activity, clicks, web page visits, events, field changes, flow activity, and much more. You can store this activity in your data warehouse for further analytics.
То learn more about it check out the documentation. We haven't launched this feature publicly on our pricing page, but you can take advantage of it today, just reach out to support and ask about the Activity Stream. Note that this feature is offered as an add-on for $99 / month.
Improvements
✨ Liquid timezone filters
This feature allows you to set timezones using liquid tags. There are 2 main cases:
{{“now” | set_timezone: “Europe/Berlin”}} Changes the timezone of the time to the specified timezone. For instance, if you use {{person.dateField | set_timezone: “Asia/Jerusalem”}} will keep the same date and time as the "dateField", but treat it as GMT+3.
{{“now” | in_timezone: “Europe/Berlin”}} Converts the current time to the specified timezone.
✨ In-app status widget
You can now be notified of interruptions in the Encharge service. You can find the app status widget in your account menu above your name:
✨ Searchable segment picker
You can now search segments when using flow steps like Entered Segment or Left Segment. Instead of the old-school hard to use dropdown, you can now just enter the name of the segment and select it. Small but handy improvement.
Bug fixes
🔧 Fix link tracking on buttons in Outlook — we had issues with link tracking in the Outlook email client. This has now been resolved.
🔧 Can’t tag people in Search — you can now tag people while you are searching for people.
🔧 Can’t track the same form on different pages — the issue with tracking the same form across different pages on your website has been fixed.
🔧 Trim custom fields value if it is too large — don't go too crazy with the length of your custom fields. Or actually do if you want to, it's up to you. We are now taking care of long field names and trimming them. The maximum length of custom fields is currently a subject to change.
🔧 Handle currency in number fields — we now support currency formatting like "$9520" and "1.00".
