Innovating every single day to help you attract, engage, and serve your members
Speed optimizations for community
January 21, 2025
Today, we want to give a special shout out to the unsung heroes on the dev team who work tirelessly to keep every aspect of the system running at peak performance.
Most recently, it's Communities that got a little re-tuning, specifically in the speed for chat suggestion. (You know that little modal that suggests people as you start typing in the name of someone you'd like to message?)
There are all sorts of behind-the-scenes things like this... tiny little things that are practically unnoticeable when they are running well, but they only stay unnoticeable because there are real people behind the scenes monitoring and innovating.
Staying in the area of workflows, math-based automations just got a big upgrade. You can now reuse calculation results directly in later steps of your workflows, without needing to store them in a custom field first. This makes it much easier to build workflows that adapt in real time, whether you’re tracking engagement, calculating totals, or guiding members down different paths based on their activity. You’ll be able to create more dynamic and personalized automations with less setup behind the scenes and fewer workarounds to make everything connect.
You can now pull files directly from Media Storage when building workflows, making it much easier to reuse the same assets across multiple automations. Instead of re-uploading files or pasting links over and over, you can simply select what you’ve already saved. Whether it’s a PDF, image, or other media, everything stays consistent and easy to manage. This change reduces repetitive work when you’re trying to stay consistent across your communications, especially when sharing resources, event materials, or member content through automated messages
