Wildfire Platform v2.28 Released
September 25th, 2009 by Sean Sawyer
We’re proud to announce that the 2.28 release of our Wildfire Platform went live last week. This release is focused on expanding upon and refining the existing features of the platform. Here are seven of the most exciting improvements you’ll find in v2.28:
- Team Auto-Join by Geography – Rather than relying on supporters to join their local team after signing up, they can now be automatically joined to teams based on their country, state, county and more.
- Simplified Mobilization Interface – We’ve implemented a more intuitive email-like interface for mobilizing supporters from Wildfire HQ, and have also added new filtering for mobilizations. You can check out a screenshot of the new interface above.
- Targeting Based on Action Kit – In addition to targeting supporters based on the types of actions they’ve completed, staff can now target based on completion of actions for a particular kit.
- List Opt-In – Staff can now indicate that a supporter list is an “opt-in” list when importing, eliminating the need to have supporters who have already opted-in for email communications do so again.
- Event Improvements – The Events section now has its own top-level navigation tab in the community. We’ve added a nicer browse events view, and we now allow any user to create an event in the community (there is also an option in HQ to disable this).
- HQ Performance – We spent some time optimizing the analytics and actions sections in HQ and made some drastic improvements here, including implementing an infrastructure for gathering statistics in real-time that will help make future analytics more up-to-date.
- Simpler Media Management – We simplified the media interface to make adding media to your community quicker and easier.
