Now make changes to any of your send messages, drag and drop content blocks, and choose from more rich formatting options now like blockquotes, headers in 3 sizes, and lists.

Improvements

• Improved add link flow within the composer including auto url prefixing
• Unaty does a better job parsing email content to remove styles from Outlook
• Images are automatically resized now in the composer to optimize performance and give thumbnails
• Better copy/paste support for the composer of rich text content

We’re making some behind the scenes stability improvements right now to ensure emails are properly synced to group mailing lists, updating delivery stats for messages sent to each email list and adding a new webhook for group member changes (adding and removing).

Improvements

Improved styles of image captions, blockquotes, and text Small directory fixes for group filters not being displayed while editing and content overflows with multiple filters activated

If you moderate a Group, you’ll now see suggestions to send an invite to members who have not yet been invited, resend invites who have been invited but never logged in, or ask the group for contact information for members without a phone or email.

Group Stats

Group moderators can now changes to group membership at a glance with member changes over 30 days, the number of users that have logged in, and how many have their profile up-to-date. Each of these is also linked directly to a group directory custom view.

Improvements

Now you can drag and drop blocks while writing direct and group messages Selecting a series for a message is now, and links are also shown properly on messages displayed on the web app

Upcoming

Move files within the Group Drive Improved message delivery stats Improved display of messages in the feed

Choose to have your group page displayed on your Community public profile so potential members can learn about the Community and see if any of the groups would be relevant to them. For instance, someone living in New York would be interested to see that your organization has a New York Hub that they could directly reach out to.

Group Visibility

It’s now easier than ever to control who can access your group's content and even see if it exists in the community if they’re not a member of the group. Moderators can also choose to display a group on the leaders page and toggle on or off a public profile page for the group.

Minor Changes

Group Moderators: now click Apply to accept suggestions and drag-n-drop to reorder moderators within a group. Community admins can now set the default directory view seen by all members to whatever best fits their community Confirmation modal has been added when deleting a group View member type counts within group rules

Upcoming

Group moderators will already see a Shareable Group Join Link under their quick actions, next week people will be able to directly apply to join the community through the group with moderators able to approve. Move files and folders within group drives.

Learning how your community works with groups and moderators, Unaty will now suggest actions to you directly to create roles for a group, assign members to those roles, and even adjust the display order.

So if you’re the leader of the New York Hub with 50 members and other similar groups in London and Paris have an Ambassador and Co-Ambassador role, Unaty will suggest you create those and who they should be assigned to. If those roles were already created, it can find those too and suggest you add them. It’ll also suggest you remove duplicates and update the display order on the leaders page for example so that the Ambassador is listed first followed by the Co-Ambassadors.

Moderator access being given to roles instead of members directly means that as soon as someone else is assigned to the role of New York Hub ambassador for example, they automatically have all the right access and permissions.

Directory Updates

Now search and select many members, then send them an email, export them as a csv, or even add them all to a group. Also you can resize and rearrange columns, toggle more attributes for members and easily switch between gallery and list layouts.

Minor Changes

Customize role display order in groups and on the leaders page Set a color for Member Types, which can help differentiate these in the directory

• New: get updates when members update their email, phone number, move, log in for the first time and more.
• These updates can be viewed on a members profile or within any group that member belongs to.

Admin Member Data Toolkit - Admins can now use the Duplicate finder tool in the Admin Area under “Data Toolkit” to automatically identify and remediate potential duplicate member profiles within the community.

Minor Changes

• Give us product feedback anytime by clicking on the lightbulb at the top right of the menu

Choose from 9 social profile fields for members to connect their other accounts now including Twitter, Eth Address, Instagram, Github, Reddit, and Discord. Show or hide any of these from members’ profiles and mark important fields as required so members can fill them out easier.

Minor

• Modal focus fixes so clicking “esc” doesn’t close all open modals

Spring is right around the corner and we’re getting a jump start on our spring cleaning with some layout updates meant to simplify and streamline the way leaders and members to Unaty. The left sidebar now only has 5 main items: 1) Home for your personalized feed of messages and activity from the community. 2) The Explore page where you can discover members in the Directory, new Groups, shared Interests, and the Birthdays calendar. 3) The leaders page shows you the leaders of the community and who’s doing what. 4) Your profile where you can manage your personal data and interests. 5) My Groups where you can see all the groups you’re in and moderate.

We’ve also simplified the layout of the Group page, putting everything you need on one view to engage with and manage your group. If you have any thoughts or feedback, drop us a note hey@getunaty.com.

Group Quick Actions

Moderators of groups now have a quick actions on the right sidebar to invite all members who have not yet logged in, view the group directory, export a list of group members, or add new members.

Webhooks

Listen for events on your Unaty account so your integration can automatically trigger reactions. Webhooks are particularly useful for asynchronous events like when a member joins your community, a member changes their email, or a role assignee changes.

Minor

• Pinboard is now always visible for roles and groups - also adding a pin is working properly again.
• All members are now exported from larger communities including all custom fields
• Fixed the display of twitter and facebook social fields
• Added a field for “Occupation” for members

Data Checks

Permissions shouldn't be complicated. To make them easier we created delegated access - now instead of giving members permissions you can give them to groups, teams, individual or all roles, or admins. Adding and updating members as well as Segments is supported for now.

Emails

Leaders can now directly email all members of a group without this appearing as a post in the feed. See afterwards how many people got your email.

Groups are getting a facelift! In addition to a new streamlined layout, group directories now support multiple views for moderators and admins, showing recently active users, all group members, and those in need of a data quality check.

Members now don’t have to enter a full birthday for it to be valid, a month and year or month and date will be work as well.

Member Directory Map View

A new way to see all your members around the world! See all or segments of members with their profile pictures placed on a map based on their current address. Members are also grouped as you zoom out so you can see where members are concentrated. When a member updates their address, they're automatically moved on the map as well.

Improved Exports

To add support for our friends in Europe, Unaty now supports comma-separated and semi-colon-separated member exports. You can also now choose which format dates should have based: US, German, French, Italian, UK, Spain, Canada, Sweden.

Bugs & Enhancements

• When creating or editing a role, you can "quick assign" the role to yourself
• Fixed a bug where select custom field values were not shown on the home screen

Data Quality

Data integrity is our top priority and you can now take advantage of a few new features designed to help you keep all your member data up-to-date.

Two of the biggest problems we’re looking to solve with data quality today are 1) how to quantify data quality easily for the entire membership (and subsets) so baselines can be established and you have a point to work from and 2) on an individual member basis, how to know what the status of their profile is, especially important fields like contact information, and how to allow other members to contribute to improving data quality across the community.

Every member profile now has a data quality status (from best to worst):

1. Up-to-date: Profile was updated in the last 6 months
2. Updated this year: Profile was updated this year
3. Outdated: Profile was updated over a year ago
4. Warnings: Profile has been flagged by a member or admin
5. Unknown: Profile has never been updated

Then we added a simple scoring system on top which calculates a score for your entire community of how up-to-date your member data is up to 100. This can be seen right in the member table in the admin view and is updated only for the members shown in the table currently, so it also works with smart views and any subsets/filters you set so you can easily divide and conquer updating member data. You could, for example, now create smart views for different membership subsets and assign each admin a subset of data they need to update and easily see progress based on the indicator at the top.

We also believe in crowdsourced (bottom-up) data management and have added new functionality to every member profile that allows members to flag important fields on other members’ profiles like their phone number, email, and address as no longer being correct. Members will then see the warnings on the profile until the member with the flagged information updates their information or dismisses the warning.

Community Emojis

We loved this member request last week to allow communities to have their own custom emojis for their logo or any symbols as well as custom reactions so now Community Admins can add custom emojis in the Community Settings > Customize. Any member can then use these while creating a group or a team as their icon. Square images in png format under 128KB work best, animated gifs also work!

Bug Fixes / Improvements

• When sending to an email list on mobile the signature would be lost, that signature should now be coming through!
• Attachments in email lists with moderator-only access were not being sent through to members and now are sent through.
• Policies were not appearing for members in the overview

Create and customize interesting and useful member directory views, then save them as a smart view so you can come back to that view later and share with other members. You can also quick copy the link to that view and pin it to the home screen, a group or role to make it really easy for members to find.

New Features

• Admins can mark custom profile fields as important
• Admins can convert a group into a team, teams can only have roles

Utility-first CSS Framework

To speed up future development and reduce the size of our app, we're now using a new styling library: https://tailwindcss.com/docs which is based creating classes for styling utilities for certain colors, spacing, looks, etc. Makes code cleaner and reusable while also reducing the size of the app.

Filter by custom select field types.
