Insights & Updates - January Edition

Office Activities

This month, our office was bustling with celebrations, marking numerous birthdays and work anniversaries! We enjoyed a fantastic time commemorating the January birthdays, coming together to share cake and treats. It's always a joyous occasion when we gather to celebrate and cherish these milestones as a team.

A special shout-out to some impressive work anniversaries we celebrated this month: Sachin Talele recently marked a decade with us, celebrating his impressive 10-year hakuversary! Joining in the festivities, Michelle Burgess commemorated her remarkable 6 years at haku, while Andria Evans and Shomari Chase reached their 4-year milestones. Larry A. Gamble marked 2 years, and Victoria Cantu completed her first year with us. Here's to the incredible journey so far, and we eagerly anticipate what the future holds for our talented team!

Partner Support

This month we once again had the honor of supporting the Chevron Houston Marathon! From seamlessly managing fundraising initiatives to facilitating smooth registrations, the entire process was a huge success for both participants and dedicated staff.

Melissa Andersen , Ornella Cedeno , Michelle Burgess , and Maria Victoria Rodriguez enjoyed supporting such an incredible event. The excitement continued later on race day with the successful registration launch of the 2025 event. We can’t wait for next year!

New Tech & Features

Automations

Our Automation Builder has undergone a significant upgrade for a more user-friendly experience. With a modernized interface, it is now more intuitive and easier to navigate, ensuring a seamless and efficient process for users.

• We’ve introduced a feature that allows you to view all sent emails, complete with detailed reporting for each.
• You now can select a target audience for your automation. This empowers you to tailor your automation to a specific group, ensuring a more personalized and effective outreach strategy.
• We've implemented a categorization system in the automations view. This simplifies the process of locating specific automations for administrators, providing a more efficient and organized way to find the desired automation quickly and effortlessly.

Auctions

• You are now able to create a unique product link for auction items. This facilitates a more efficient process for administrators, allowing you to easily share and manage specific items with dedicated links.
• In instances where no logo is added to an auction, the organization's logo will now dynamically appear in both participant accounts and the event view for administrators.

Giving

• Registration links for partners will no longer automatically display by default. Partners now have the flexibility to toggle on the visibility of registration links, providing them with greater control over the sharing of registration information.
• Non-primary contacts will now receive emails when a non-allotted fundraiser registers with the partner.

Memberships

• In order to give organizers more flexibility in their membership programs, they will be able to hide a membership option from the signup page. This will allow them to create more targeted and exclusive membership options
• Now, if a member's payment is waived, we will display a message in their member profile. This will give more visibility to the administrator on the waived payment.

Additional Updates

• Administrators will now be able to see history in their promo codes. This will allow them to see an audit trail on the changes that have been made to the promo codes.
• Participants now can view specific invites directly in their accounts. This improvement goes beyond traditional email notifications, providing a seamless way for participants to claim invites directly from their accounts, offering a more convenient and user-friendly experience.
• We can effortlessly link a group of people sharing a common email domain. Once connected, the system automatically funnels in all other participants who used that domain to register. This ensures a seamless flow of information, simplifying data management and guaranteeing accurate updates for all participants associated with the specified domain.
