Hey, there,

We've spent some time doing some big bug fixes in the software that we think you're gonna love! 👏

🆕 New Features

  • Introducing Google oAUTH for sending outgoing email via your Gmail account. We made it easier to set your Gmail account up with Sprout. This update includes a new display for setting up your email.

📈 Improvements

  • If a User has a 0 for Lead/Shoots/Income for a given period, we will not send them a Scorecard email.
  • Added a banner to prompt people to set their "brand voice" for use via Sprout AI.
  • Added a "Remove Sample Data" button to list pages to make it more convenient to toggle off sample data in an account quickly.
  • Once a client logs in on the front end, it will automatically close the sidebar.

🔨 Fixes

  • In the Settings > Assistant section, adding or removing Users for Scorecard will now save correctly.
  • "View in browser" will not longer display as part of the subject line for Email Campaign emails.
  • Scheduled Email Campaigns will be sent at the correct time instead of a "random" time in the future.
  • Fixed an issue that was causing Tone Shift to not always properly update/modify an email.
  • Fixed an issue impacting some Users that made it so they couldn't interact with certain parts of their Gallery (such as the sidebar on the right-hand side, including favourites, folders, etc.)
  • Favourite emails are no longer being cut off in the Activity Feed. There's also now a button to make it easier to copy an email address.
  • We removed the variable for the unsubscribe link from the top of an email.
  • Preview text will no longer get accidentally saved as part of Sprout Assistant templates.
  • Fixed an issue causing full-screen editors on mobile from not working as expected (i.e. trying to edit a package description)
