This release cycle gives you the fixes you need to keep going! Cloning a message to redraft and resend will no longer throw that pesky error. Some off-feed utility email notifications were malfunctioning, so a fix is being deployed to ensure that they will be sent anytime your off-feed utility runs or fails to run for any reason. Also, simple templates that have been set will display properly in a clicked SMS link to a message.

We've enhanced our refund handling and refined the user experience for Split Contracts. Plus, our bug-squashing efforts ensure smooth operations as always!
What's New
- We’ve improved the user experience for Split Contracts. Parents linked to a single account now see only their name and percentage in the left column. (Previously, they saw a little dropdown with their name and percentage in addition to the one displayed above.)
- The way we handle failed refunds has been improved. When a refund fails, the amount is immediately sent back to your school's bank account, and Admins with “Failed Payments” notifications enabled will be alerted. To learn more about refunds, check out our: Refunding a Payment article.
Bug Fixes
- SSATB applications were importing ‘Mobile’ instead of ‘Cell’ in the phone fields. We’ve updated it so that it automatically updates to our value through the API.
- We implemented a fix for the 'Warning: Needs Response' dispute message, enabling you to submit evidence in response to this specific dispute message.
- A text message failed due to the emoji that was added to it. We've made backend adjustments to better detect and handle such failures.
