Current Happenings

Our May beta is ready for you!

As with all beta releases, upgrading your community is at your own risk. Please make sure you backup before upgrading! 

Here is what is slated for the May release, version 4.7.10. https://invisioncommunity.com/release-notes/

 

Courses is here as part of the May release! 🎉

What a powerful feature! Want to create a short onboarding experience for your members? This could be a Welcome note, Did you know? bullets to help members know where to start, and then a mandatory acknowledgement piece if that is required for your community. This is all possible with the new Courses application. How are you hoping to use this feature? Check out our latest blog post for the details:

 

Email Bounce Management is coming in May. 🎉

For Cloud customers, we are adding the ability for you to view reports on bounced/complaint emails, take action on member accounts (purge them or mark them as no notifications), and unblock emails that our platform may be refusing to email. Check out our latest blog post:
