New Features
Non-Cardholders Record Deletion
Now you can delete noncardholder records from Promote.
The deletion of patron records is permanent and it deletes all their data. Deletion also removes identifying information from all metrics so that notice and campaign metrics remain accurate.
You must be assigned either the Super Admin or the Admin role to delete cardholders records.
"Set it and Forget it" Showcases
Now your emails will always feature the most recent Showcase updates automatically, whether they’re part of a marketing campaign or a notice email.
When adding Showcases from saved searches, you can truly ‘set it and forget it,’ confident that your emails will always deliver the latest and greatest Showcase content, day after day and month after month.
Even if the Showcase is created from a list, any changes you make to the Showcase will automatically carry over before the next email sends.
How:
Before the email sends it pulls the latest titles of that showcase.
If the showcase is broken because it was deleted or it no longer has items in it, the showcase is replaced with a fallback block so recipients don't get the empty showcase or a showcase with broken links.
