Notifications & Routines

Fixed Background Check Status Notification

  • We have fixed the Background Check Status Notification that runs nightly by adding the word "day" to wording for when a background check was started, for example: (start ## days ago).
  • We have fixed the Background Check Notification that runs nightly to send email out with support@thinkministry.com email when the From or Reply email in the message template is missing.

Fixed Registrant Notification
We have fixed the Registrant Notification routine that runs every 15 minutes to help the message from being archived too early.  We have changed this notification from DBMail to the Platform sending these email messages.

Fixed Register Into Series Routine
We have fixed a bug when a registrant has a duplicate registration in an Event (in a series) so that both don't get cancelled (only one).

Enhanced Data Quality Routine
We have enhanced the Data Quality Routine to create Event_Groups for any Groups found in Event_Rooms table that are associated with future Events to makes reports and tools leveraging Event_Groups still valuable during the transition to using Event_Rooms as part of the new Check In Suite.

Enhanced Event Reminder Notification

  • We have enhanced the Event Reminder message that goes out every night to include a new [Last_Name] token. Please update your existing email template(s), if desired.
  • We have enhanced the Event Reminder message that goes out every night to include a new [Option_Title] token to list all of the options chosen (separated by a comma). Please update your existing email template(s), if desired.

Enhanced Registrant Message Notification
We have enhanced the Event Registrant message that goes out every 15 minutes to include a new [Option_Title] token to list all of the options chosen (separated by a comma). Please update your existing email template(s), if desired.

Enhanced Opportunity Response Notification
We have enhanced the Opportunity Response Notification routine that runs every 15 minutes to let the Platform send out the email Message instead of using DBMail.

Enhanced Opportunity Reminder Notification
We have added a new date field on the Opportunities page called "Date to Remind" to help kick off the Opportunity Reminder Notification for ongoing Opportunities (when Opportunity Date is blank and Publish Date is in the past) and we have removed the "Days out to Remind" field.  Any number in the "Days out to Remind" field has been converted to a date and placed in the "Date to Remind" field.

Enhanced Background Check Notification
We have enhanced the Background Check Status Notification to only go out to valid users who have at least one Security Role in the Platform.

*New* Background Check Needed Notification
We have added a new weekly email called "Background Check Needed" that will list the Group Participants that are currently in a Group with a Group Role that requires a background check but the background check is expired or doesn't exist.  This notification will be sent to the Primary Contact of the Ministry responsible for the Group/Team if they have a valid email address and at least one Security Role.

*Important* To ensure this Notification sends as desired, please review your Group Roles to ensure they are properly categorized as Background Check Required* = True/False.

System Setup

Fixed "Response Follow-up" Process
We have changed the wording on Step 2 of the "Response Follow-up" Process to say "Completed" instead of "approval" to help eliminate confusion.

*New* Delegates Page
We have added a new page under the Administration section called Delegates that will list users who have been delegated the rights to send an email on behalf of specific contacts using the new message tool.  We have also changed the name of the subpage on the Users page called "Send Email From Contacts" to "Delegate of" to be consistent with this new page.

*New* Fix: Users with no Security Role View
We have added a new fix view on the User Group Users page called "Fix: Users with no Security Role" so you can remove those users who do not need to be in a User Group any longer.

*New* Action Status Subpage Views
We have added an estimated 10 subpage views to the "Recipients" subpage on the Messages page under Communications for each Action Status currently on your system. Notify option is available for these new views to let someone on staff know when an email is Bounced, Errors, etc.
