New Features:

  • We created a new Advanced Setting called "Default Lead URL". This new setting allows an Admin to edit the URL of the Manage Leads page in the Member Dashboard. By default this URL is "leads".
  • We created a new Advanced Setting called "Member Contact Page URL". This new setting allows an Admin to edit the URL of the Connect page of Member Profiles. By default this URL is "connect".

Enhancements / Fixes:

  • We added the ability to support the File Upload Field when sending data to Webhook URLs.

  • We fixed an issue which was causing the system to reset the SPF record when visiting the Domain Manager page in the Admin if the SPF record did not exactly match the default record.  Now it will just check that the required default components are present in the SPF record and will only reset the record if they are not.
