New features, updates, and bug fixes in NationBuilder! Subscribe to updates via RSS
We’re excited to announce that NationBuilder’s integrated payment processor, powered by Stripe, is now available in Romania (RON), Poland (PLN), Bulgaria (BGN), Czech Republic (CZK), and Brazil (BRL)! No more need for monthly fees, complicated set up of a merchant account, or a separate donations system that doesn’t sync with the data in your nation.
We created many new mailing filters for sent, clicked, unsubscribed events!
Fixed a bug where some PO boxes were not householded correctly
We no longer send membership notifications to profiles that have been marked as deceased
We sped up the broadcaster email stats page
We added support for open office file types
We now allow donation totals for an individual donor or fundraiser to be larger than the maximum $21,474,836.47. Note that this limit still applies to an individual donation, but the total amount donated/fundraised can be larger.
There was a but legacy URLs not working when included in email blasts
We fixed the incorrect “edit” link in the list dialog after creating a new list
When CPUs didn't have access to manage paths they would sometimes see a browser-style login prompt on pages with path dropdowns. This has been fixed!
All page types are now visible in the "old subpages" tab. Previously
New Filter alert! You can now filter for signups who have opened an email blast sent by any broadcaster according to date.
You can now see a record in your nation when permissions get added, changed, or removed from a signup!
We added Action Button to embed.ly, which means that you can paste the link in the WYSIWYG editor and it will be embedded automatically! The caveat is that doesn’t play well with mobile devices yet.
Pages views should no longer break due to a bug where pages might have their updated_at timestamp missing!
We fixed a geocoding bug where adding a zip code from the CP was temporarily removing the point person.
We did a data cleanup to resolve the consequences of an outlook button bug, which was resulting in incorrect link tracking.
We fixed a small bug on the shared tags view where the custom fields checkbox was not visible.
We're working on preventing pages from getting their updated_at timestamp removed.
SMS links are now supported in mailing and page content. Get texting!
We improved performance for deleting signups in bulk through the api.
We fixed the "potential duplicate" filter criteria to eliminate duplicate unique IDs because of blank spaces.
If you work in Hungary, you now have even better geocoding!
A new signup validation has been added to prevent permissions being removed from a CPU that has scheduled text or mailing blasts.
You can now filter for status options “failed” and “pending” as part of the “Recurring donation status” filter in the People section. Note that the “Failed” status will only surface recurring donations that failed on the initial transaction - not recurring donations that have been successful and later started failing.
We fixed an issue in event pages where some RSVPs wouldn’t update in real-time in CSVs/PDFs.
Donors who specify unemployed, retired or self-employed will no longer see server-side validations on their work address.
We removed financial information from email stats for users without Finances permissions.
Going forward, the texting capacity for nations on a contract (Enterprise) will reset on the 1st day of every month.
We added new donation filtering options! You can now filter for "donation date is":
You can now search for email blasts by name: if you are in the email section of a Broadcaster, the upper right-hand search box will now say “Search emails...”
As you type, some of the most recent matches will show. If you select one, the email blast will open immediately. If you need to see more matches than are listed in the dropdown, hit enter and you’ll be taken to a view of the full search results.
We fixed the count of event RSVPs displayed in the control panel so it doesn't include “additional RSVPs”.
We fixed a bug that was preventing the removal of a consent option in consent forms.
We fixed a bug with signup forms that sometimes redirected to the volunteer page when the signup wasn't a new volunteer.
We updated the donation tracking code search field so that users can search by 'slug' in addition to 'name'.
We added a filter option for “Date of Birth [exists]”.
You can now find Employer and Occupation data in your payout exports!
Control panel users can now earn social capital when they create an event. We added a new activity type for event creation in the control panel which is different from the existing one for user-submitted event creation. Creating an event through the control panel won't give control panel users social capital by default, but it's possible if desired.
We fixed a tag sharing bug causing sync errors on facebook_uid mismatch.
We’ve added 3 new filters to help you better target your supporters:
You’ll see that the previous tag and tracking code filters have been renamed “Tags (multiple)” and “Donation tracking codes (multiple)”, and you can still use those if you’d like to search for multiple tags or multiple tracking codes at the same time.
We added the “Address type” selector to the New Organization form. it was added to the New Person form previously but not visible when creating an Organization.
We’ve made images responsive in the email editor! They now appear entirely within the frame of the editor when uploaded. To resize an image, simply drag its corners. The height and width proportions will stay the same and the image will display consistently across different email clients.
You can now start all exports from one place: the "Actions" dropdown. We've removed the "Export" button from the control panel sub-navigation bar to prevent users from starting an export by mistake.
We've increased the speed at which you can add or remove A/B test variants! They can now also be added when creating an email blast.
We fixed a bug that was preventing undo/redo to save correctly in the WYSIWYG editor.
We added support for tel link formatting in the WYSIWYG editor. Tel links allow making a phone call by clicking a link.
Donor name and email are now available in NationBuilder Payments connected Standard accounts
We clarified the text for the Recurring Donation Payment success activity so it does not look like a duplicate of the Donation activity.
Users without “Manage email theme” permissions, will no longer be able to see the “New custom theme” button.
The Finance tab is now hidden from the Dashboard view for users who don't have Finances permissions.
We added a profile image upload on the "Your account" form, so CPUs who are non-admin can update their own picture.
