  • Drag-and-drop email designer with text, images, buttons, logos, and layout blocks.
  • Save and reuse your templates and drafts.

People — a more powerful member database

Your member records are now fully customizable to how your organization actually works.

  • Custom member statuses to match your real workflow.
  • Track contacts separately from members and convert them when ready.
  • Cleaner member profiles with clearer status indicators and correct phone formatting by country.
  • Faster member list with a redesigned pager and a go-to-page jump.

Engagement timeline

A unified activity view for each member — joins, plans, and activity in one timeline, with a category filter.

Account & reliability improvements

A range of fixes that make everyday use smoother and more trustworthy.

  • Friendlier login and password-reset with clear messages instead of raw errors.
  • More reliable member invite emails, now logged in communication history.
