With NowCandid, we stress how we try to make everything as white-label as possible.
This week, we've officially implemented a new feature that promotes your brand and drives sales in yet another way: Backprinting! Going forward, your business name, your contact info and the retail support email address will be on the back of all standard print products ordered (with the ability to include your business logo coming soon). Plus, the back of the print includes a unique QR code that when scanned, directs back to that person's individual gallery from that event (even if scanned 10 years from now) so they can buy more prints and increase your residual sales long term! With this change, all NowCandid users will now be delivering an even higher quality product, promoting their brands more effectively than ever, booking more business, and bringing in more residual sales as the years go on.
We hope you are as excited as we are!
Note: your business name will replace NowCandid in the example image.
This week’s headline is a big one: Client Outreach is here. It’s a powerful new way to connect with your customers outside of event-based marketing—and it opens up a ton of new possibilities for growing your business.
We’ll keep this recap focused on what it does at a high level, and we’ll link out to a full deep-dive guide so you can see exactly how to use it.
📣 NEW: Client Outreach (SMS + Email)
Client Outreach is a brand-new messaging system that lets you send texts and emails outside of your event campaigns.
This week’s updates are all about clearer feedback, smoother retail rendering, and a few helpful fixes across the Dashboard, Check-In, and Capture App.
🖼️ Retail: Better Luxe 3D Renders
A few important improvements landed for Luxe products on retail:
✨ Luxe Prints 3D renders now work correctly for horizontal images
💡 Luxe render lighting improved so products look more natural and less over-bright
📱 Mobile cropping on 3D renders is much more stable and performant
Fixed an issue where gesture-based cropping could crash on mobile devices
If you’re selling Luxe products, this should make the preview experience feel more polished.
📤 Dashboard: Clearer Image Upload Errors
The Image Uploader now does a better job explaining what actually went wrong:
🚫 Oversized files now show the real reason
Instead of a vague “Error uploading,” files over the limit will correctly say the image is too large
📏 File size is now included in the error message
Example: File size is over 20 MB (25.3 MB)
🌐 Network issues now say “Network Error”
Much clearer than a generic upload failure
🔁 Automatic retry for network errors
The uploader will now retry up to 5 times before giving up
A small change, but a much better experience when uploads hit a snag.
🧾 Dashboard Fixes & Improvements
📄 Profile invoices fixed
Invoices from January onward should now load correctly
Invoices are also now easier to find through Sidebar Find and Candy navigation
👥 PhotoRosters wording updated
“Members” is now “Contacts” for better consistency across NowCandid
📊 Participant image counts fixed on the Event Participant List for certain Positive ID edge cases
🎨 Fixed an overlay importer edge case that could make Events appear twice in the list
🤳 Check-In Improvements
📋 Fixed the list of existing check-ins going off-screen for accounts with a lot of check-ins
✍️ Some check-in copy was updated for clarity
📱 Capture App 5.4.1 (iOS OTA)
🔒 Fixed PhotoBooth and Selfie Check-In Station close buttons not working on devices without a passcode set up
That’s the update for this week! Better Luxe previews, clearer upload feedback, and a handful of fixes to keep things running smoothly.
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
