Platform

Updates / Bug Fixes

• We've made various updates to our Action Network integration. Now, when someone takes action on ControlShift:
  • If the user has provided their phone number, it will be synced to Action Network as a phone_number custom field. (The Action Network API doesn't currently support adding phone numbers to Action Network's native phone number field, though that's expected to change in the future.)
    
  • If your organization is using our SMS opt-in feature, the user's opt-in will be synced as an opt-in-sms custom field.
    
    
  • If your organization has global custom fields that are automatically included on petition signature forms, responses to those custom fields will be synced as custom fields in Action Network.
    
    
  • If an admin adds a per-petition custom field to the signature form, responses to that field will be synced to Action Network using the custom field's shortname.
    
    
  • If a user takes action on a partnership petition, their Action Network activist page will be tagged with controlshift-partnership:foo, where foo is the partnership's slug.
    
    
• We've reduced the expiration time for the agreed_cookies cookie that is set when a user agrees to all or some cookies to dismiss the cookies banner. Previously, the agreed_cookies cookie was set to expire after 99 years. Now, the cookie will expire after 180 days.
  
  
• We've made an update to our Slack integration, and we're now stripping HTML tags out of the the blast email in need of moderation notification message.
  
  
• We’ve continued our work to rewrite large portions of the front-end code that powers the application to make it more modern, efficient, and reliable. This portion of the project includes updates to: the new blast email text editor, the date and time pickers shown on a calendar’s settings page, and toggle components throughout the platform. We’ve also improved the way we deliver javascript across the platform.
  
  This project allows us to more quickly maintain and improve the application and has already resulted in improvements to page load speeds.
  
  
• We’ve retired portions of unused or repeated CSS throughout the platform. By decreasing the amount of CSS that’s loaded when a page is visited, we’ve further reduced page load times.

Petitions

Updates / Bug Fixes

• We fixed an issue that was causing some filter/sort queries from the admin all petitions page to be very slow or timeout altogether. With this update, the queries should be reliably fast.

Nothing new in events, groups, or VisitThem.
