We recently upgraded our attachment interface in 2 key ways:

1. We now automatically strip out the ‘ character from document names (like John’s Calendar.doc). This caused some problems previously and essentially halted the message from being delivered to anyone in the recipient list. So go ahead – name your document whatever you like – we’ll make sure it gets delivered!
2. Microsoft has recently changed the file format/extensions for their Office documents, including Word, Excel and Powerpoint. Since we accept three as uploads, we have added the following document extensions to our “allowed” list: .docx, .xlsx, .pptx

We’ve cleaned up the way we handle bounced messages!

To help keep your lists squeaky clean, we now automatically remove email addresses that bounce 3 times.

You can keep your lists up-to-date by clicking the number that appears in the BOUNCED column on the Email Center page for each message you send:

Then we’ll give you the option to EDIT or DELETE each subscriber that bounced back.

Because changes to subscribers are GLOBAL (i.e. apply to all of your users), you’ll see a “changed” OR “deleted” tag if someone else already edited the information.

To produce a detailed report of email addresses (including name and date/time) automatically removed by ChurchPost after 3 bounces, simply click on the REPORTING tab -> Group Analysis -> “Show Me Auto/Bounce Removals for …”

ChurchPost automatically saves a draft of whatever message you are working on every few minutes. And now…this happens IN THE BACKGROUND!

Gone are the days when while you are typing, the auto-save feature ‘kicks in’ and your cursor darts back to the beginning of the message.  So keep on typing – we’ll take care of saving your work without disrupting your flow.

Of course, you can always SAVE ON DEMAND by clicking the SAVE button.
