Hey there, NowCandid fam!

‍

Candy here, your friendly AI assistant, ready to sprinkle a little more magic into your NowCandid experience. 🍬✨

‍

I’m thrilled to tell you about a fresh feature that’s going to keep you and your team even more connected and informed—our brand-new Inbox within the web dashboard! 🎉

‍

We get it—emails can sometimes slip through the cracks.

‍

Maybe your inbox is overflowing, or maybe your NowCandid account emails go to an address you don’t check as often. And if you have a big team? Let’s just say things don’t always get shared as quickly as you’d like. 😅

‍

Whatever the case may be, we wanted to make sure you never miss a beat with us. That’s where the new Inbox comes in!

‍

‍

💌 Why the Inbox is a Game-Changer

‍

Our new Inbox feature is designed to keep all of our important NowCandid updates right where you need them—on your dashboard! This means no more hunting through emails or worrying about who saw what.

‍

From now on, whenever there’s a big update, an important feature release, or a must-know maintenance alert, it’ll be sitting in your Inbox, waiting for you and your team to check it out. 📥

‍

Here’s what this means for you:

‍

- Never Miss an Update: Important notifications will now be at your fingertips on the web dashboard, so you’re always in the loop!
‍

‍- Easy Team Access: If you have multiple users on your NowCandid account, everyone can check the Inbox to see what’s new. No more worrying if a message got forwarded or not!
‍

- Clear and Organized: Find everything in one place! From maintenance alerts to feature highlights, it’s all right there, so you can stay informed and focused on capturing those amazing moments. 📸✨

‍

🌟 Still Sending Emails, Just in Case!

‍

But don’t worry! We’ll still be sending email updates too—this is just another channel to ensure you have all the information you need. Consider the Inbox your backup plan for staying connected, because hey, we know things can get hectic!

‍

So, whether it’s an exciting new feature, a critical update, or just a little love note from me (Candy! 🍬), you’ll find it in your Inbox from now on.

‍

💖 Cheers to Staying Connected!

‍

We’re here to support you every step of the way, and with this new Inbox, we’re making it even easier for you to focus on what matters most—your photography and your clients.

‍

Cheers, sparkles, and all the confetti...

Hello, my fabulous photographer friends!

‍

Candy here, ready to sprinkle some sparkle on your day with our latest Weekly Recap! 🌟

‍

We've been hard at work enhancing your NowCandid experience, and I've got all the juicy details right here. Let's dive in! 🏊‍♀️

‍

1. Unique Faces Count After Group-By-Face 👥

‍

After running Group-By-Face, you can now see an estimated number of "Unique Faces" present in all the photos from your event.

‍

• Why It's Helpful: This feature allows you to find out if you did a good job capturing as many participants as were actually present at the event.
  ‍
• Quality Assurance: Use this count to ensure you're reaching your photography goals and maximizing coverage.

‍

‍

2. Capture App Version 4.7 Updates 📱

‍

We've rolled out some important updates to the Capture App to enhance your shooting experience.

‍

• Improved Face Tap Boxes🎯 The manual face tap boxes are now a more reasonable size, making it easier to select faces accurately.
  ‍
• "I Understand" Checkbox Visibility✅ We've fixed an issue where the "I Understand" checkbox on the Background Removal Folder popup was nearly invisible in the app's Dark Theme.
  ‍
• Pro Tip: Using the app's Dark Theme saves a ton of battery life on devices with OLED screens, such as newer iPhones and iPads!

‍

3. New 2x5 Scan Card Option for Scanner ID Workflow 📝

‍

Introducing a second option for downloading a PDF of scan cards for the Scanner ID Workflow!

‍

• Smaller Card Size: Now available in a 2x5 format.
  ‍
• Versatility: Ideal for situations where the standard card size is larger than desired.
  ‍
• Sticker-Friendly: Great for printing on sticker labels instead of making cards.

‍

‍

4. Retail Site Tweaks for Better Mobile Experience 📱

‍

We've made some adjustments to the retail site to enhance viewing on mobile devices:

‍

• Large Font Support: Improved compatibility for customers using large font settings on their phones.
  ‍
• Enhanced Accessibility: Ensures a smooth shopping experience for all users, regardless of their device settings.

‍

5. New Press & Hold to Download Feature for QuicPics & QuicPics GO 📥

‍

We've added a Press & Hold to Download feature for end customers on the QuicPics and QuicPics GO retail sites!

‍

• Multiple Download Options: Provides another way for customers to download their free images.
  ‍
• User-Friendly: Ensures customers can get their images no matter what user interface they're accustomed to.
  ‍
• Easy Access: Simply press and hold on an image to download it directly to their device.

‍

We're always here to support you!

Hello, my fabulous photographer friends!

‍

Candy here, ready to sprinkle some sparkle on your day with our latest Weekly Recap! 🌟

‍

We've been hard at work enhancing your NowCandid experience, and I've got all the juicy details right here. Let's dive in! 🏊‍♀️

‍

1. Retail Site Enhancements 🛍️

‍

We've made some fantastic improvements to the retail experience for your clients, aiming to boost your sales and make shopping a breeze!

‍

• Diamond Gloss Upsell for Packages💎 When clients add a package containing prints to their cart, they'll now see a Diamond Gloss upsell popup. They can choose to add that finish to every print in their package.
  ‍
• ‍Clearer Product Naming📝 The Medium Res Gallery Download (only offered and always offered when you're doing a QuicPics or QuicPics GO Event) now automatically renames to Free Gallery when there's no high-resolution personal gallery offered. Just like the individual download does!
  ‍
• ‍Smart Cart Management🛒 If a client has already added the Personal Gallery Download to their cart, it will be hidden from the shopping screen.

‍

‍

2. Dashboard Improvements 🖥️

‍

We've focused on making the dashboard more user-friendly and informative, so you can manage your events and participants with ease.

‍

• Quick Access to Folder Stats📊 An Event's Folder Stats button is now visible right from the Event List page.
  ‍
• ‍Enhanced Order Details🔍 The Order Details popup in the Sales Report now shows the quantity of each item ordered.
  ‍‍
• Flexible Participant Management👥 When manually creating or editing a participant, the phone number field is now optional.
  ‍
• Advanced Report Filters📈 We've added new advanced settings to the reports, allowing you to filter out or include $0 sales and hidden events. This gives you greater control over your data analysis!
  ‍
• Marketing Control🛍️ Marking an event as Invisible on the web dashboard now automatically stops its marketing.

‍

‍

‍

‍

3. Capture App Version 4.6.9 Updates 📱

‍

We've rolled out some important updates to the Capture App to enhance functionality and prevent errors.

‍

• BGR Folder Activation Confirmation🎨 To enable a BGR (Background Removal) folder on the app, users must now check an "I understand" box. Helps new team members avoid accidentally enabling BGR when it's not intended, saving you time and resources.
  ‍
• ‍Improved Phone Number Validation📞 The app now prevents the use of obviously fake phone numbers like 333-333-3333 or 444-444-4444.
  ‍
• ‍Auto-Refresh Event List on iOS🔄 When returning to the app on iOS devices, the event list will now auto-refresh. Reduces the chance of seeing outdated event details, keeping you informed on the go.

‍

‍

4. Mobile Dashboard 2.1.0 Updates 📲

‍

Our Mobile Dashboard app just got even better, helping you manage your events from anywhere!

‍

• Support for QuicPics GO🚀 QuicPics GO events are now fully supported, with appropriate icons and labels.
  ‍
• ‍Sortable Folders Report📁 Just like on the desktop dashboard, you can now sort the Folders Report in the mobile app. Swipe down to refresh and get real-time data mid-event. Great for tracking photographer performance on the go and providing immediate feedback.

‍

‍

We're always here to support you!
