Platform

Updates / Bug Fixes

• Infrastructure updates.
  
  
• We've updated our petition signature and event RSVP forms to prevent signatures/RSVPs that include URLs in the name fields. This change will help prevent spammers from using platform emails to send their spam messages.
  
  
• We fixed a 'missing translation' error tied to the user account creation page's phone number help text. This translation was broken for all locales, but is now fixed.

Petitions

Updates / Bug Fixes

• We fixed an issue where signature charts (on petition admin pages, for example) were either very slow to load or were not loading at all. 
  
  
• We've updated the petition delivery CSV to include rows for anonymized signatures. These signatures will include the signers' name only (displayed as set up in Settings > Privacy).
  
  
• We've updated petitions' Signatures tab for admins and the blast email moderation modal tab to include the count of anonymized signatures in the in the signature stats.
  
  
• We've released new variables that can be used in post-signature redirects for petitions. (For more information on the feature, please see: https://controlshiftlabs.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/203569208.) The new variables allow organizations to track source and UTM parameters (by appending those parameters to the redirect URL) from the initial signature through the redirect to another site. The new parameters that are available for use are:
  
  {{ signature.source }}
  {{ signature.utm_source }}
  {{ signature.utm_campaign }}
  {{ signature.utm_content }}  
  {{ signature.utm_medium }}
  {{ signature.utm_terms }}

Nothing new in events, groups, or VisitThem.

† This feature required new text strings. If you're using the platform in a language other than English, you may need to provide updated translations.
