We update the fundraising platform biweekly. Keep reading for a selection of the new features, enhancements, and bug fixes in the latest update.
Features and Enhancements ✨
Pre-Fill Custom Fields on Donation Forms
You can now pre-fill custom fields on your donation forms by adding a few details to the form's URL. Build a link that fills in what you already know (tribute type, a campaign source, an event response) so supporters have less to enter and you collect cleaner data.
You can now pre-fill custom fields on both year-round donation forms and peer-to-peer donation forms.
You can now pre-fill any custom field type, including short text, dates, dropdowns, checkboxes, and multiple-selection fields.
You can now set a hidden field's value in the URL to attribute a gift to a campaign or source, without showing anything to the donor.
Custom-field pre-fill works alongside the pre-fill options you already use, such as giving amount and donor name.
Each field is matched by its reporting label, so a pre-fill link keeps working as long as the reporting label stays the same.
Donors can change any pre-filled value before they submit the form.
Enable Express Donate with the Recommended Settings Banner
You can now turn on Express Donate for all of your eligible forms at once from the Recommended Settings Banner on the Forms and Events page, so more of your donors get a faster way to give without you updating each form by hand.
Other Enhancements
You can now review form attributes and clone forms faster. When you clone a donation, peer-to-peer, or auction form, the Form Attributes step now shows only the attributes your original form uses and hides the ones that don't apply.
To reduce validation errors due to missing email addresses, email addresses are now optional on auction and event attendee imports.
Fixes 🛠️
If a recurring donation payment fails, the system now correctly attempts scheduled retries three days later, even if the payment failure occurs on the final billing date.
The Auction Purchased Items report now displays all rows correctly, matching the count and download results.
Within an event, you can now delete custom field groups without receiving the Invalid PartInfo ID error.
In the Auction Virtual Terminal, cash and check payments using payment processors other than Bloomerang Payments now process successfully for attendees without an email address.
Auction Mobile Virtual Terminal (MVT) registrations now maintain consistent billing data. Free tickets contain no billing fields or credit card names, while paid transactions include only the necessary postal code and country information for payment processing.
Donations in the Fundhub Live mobile activity widget now sort from newest to oldest instead of oldest to newest
