Often, when organizations initially migrate to JourneyCARE, they worry about the financial history that would be left behind in their old platform. Now, you don't have to do that! If you have invoice data in a spreadsheet or CSV from another tool, you can bring that information into JourneyCARE in just a few clicks. When importing, you will simply map the CSV columns to the JourneyCARE invoice fields (e.g. issue date, due date) and match any existing tax settings. After the import completes, you'll receive an email summary that shows which invoices were successfully imported and which failed (along with reasons for any failures).

JourneyCARE's unlimited media library is a HUGE asset for organizations and we continue to make enhancements to increase the value and intuitive nature of this feature. One of the latest upgrades is a new "Preview Media" option and a clear "Insert Media" button. Previously, we found that many people didn't realize that inserting a media item required a double-click. This update eliminates that problem. You can still double-click to quickly insert any media item, but for people who don't realize that this double-click method exists, a button will appear when they single click. Sometimes it's the small things that make a big difference, isn't it?

As Spring begins springing here in the Midwest, we find ourselves in that awkward "in-between" stage... are we really moving forward to brighter days and the warmth of sunshine on our skin, or will winter give us another icy blast tomorrow? Sadly, the same could be said about the state of our US politics, our economy, and our projections for the year ahead. There sure is a lot that feels uncertain right now. Still, if there's one thing that I do know for sure, it's that members need their associations during this time. They need community. They need advocacy. They need out-of-the-box thinking from organizations that are looking out for their interests. And similarly, associations and nonprofits need their people. They need board members who can lead. They need members who are committed to the good of the community. These are constants, no matter what today or tomorrow or the next day might bring. With that in mind, today I'm sharing "6 Ways that Technology Can Help You Build Connection in Uncertain Times".

If you've ever added a phone number field to a form in JourneyCARE, you've probably noticed that the system a utomatically adds a "Terms & Conditions" checkbox with suggested language that you can edit. Now, you'll notice that there are actually 2 separate checkboxes added. This is because the A2P 10DLC approval requirements for texting have changed and organizations must now have separate opt-ins for transactional messages and promotional messages. Consent choices are recorded in the "Terms & Conditions" column in the submission results.

Invoice descriptions can now contain text formatting , so you can use bullets and text enhancements to draw attention to important details. It's a small subtle change, but makes a difference when your organization wants to highlight things like feature/benefit lists within the description box.

A new option just rolled out that allows you to re lease new content in your Courses on a specific date. Previously, the drip timing could only be based on a certain number of days after sign-up (e.g. Lesson 1 is released on Day 1, Lesson 2 is released 3 days later, etc.) but now you can say that you want a lesson released exactly on March 25. This is a great enhancement for organizations that are offering Live classes with cohorts moving through material together, as you can release everyone's new material on the same day instead of being based on when each person signed up.

When sending emails in JourneyCARE, you'll now notice new warnings appear if you've made an error in a "pre-fill" value that you've used in the message.

Simply fix the error and continue on to send your email!
