March 11th: Bug fixes and improvements

Our dev team spent a few weeks fixing pesky bugs and making sure Streak is running smoothly. Here’s a recap of what they fixed last month:

🤷 Google Contact search results not appearing in the box view

When adding or searching for a contact in Streak, we’ll show you results from your Google Contacts and existing Streak contacts. However, Google Contact results weren’t showing up if you searched in the box view (below). This has been fixed.

👻 No Name contacts

In some cases, contacts appeared as “No Name”. No longer!

📨 Adding an organization from the pipeline turns off automatic email sharing

Adding an organization to a box from the pipeline view turned off automatic email sharing for any existing contacts in the box. This has been fixed.

✨ “Date of Last Email” magic column not updating

A little while back, the “Date of Last Email” magic column wasn’t updating with the correct date. In the end of December, we fixed the issue for boxed emails moving forward. We now also made a fix that updated the column data for previously sent or received emails, effectively backfilling your “Date of Last Email” columns with the correct data.

📝 Mail Merge variables not working if entered before email draft is saved

Adding a variable to your mail merge before Gmail saved the email draft would cause an error with the variable — invariably. This only affected the speediest of mail mergers, and has been fixed.

👁️ Email tracking icon misaligned in inbox view

Email tracking icons were overlapping with the date of the email in the inbox and “All Tracked Emails” folders, causing an unpleasant visual experience. Order has been restored.

🔗 Email tracking “learn more” links takes you to nonexistent page Clicking on the “Learn how tracking works” link was navigating to a nonexistent page. Not only have we fixed the link, but we’ve also launched a new video lesson on email tracking for anybody interested in learning more!

💬 Mentioning a team member in a comment doesn’t show their name Mentioning a team member in a box comment typically shows their name in the comment (ex: @Tiana) but occasionally only showed the “@” symbol. Sorry, Tiana! This has been fixed.

🗃️ Notification emails not showing related box details in the Streak sidebar

When you get a notification from Streak about activity in your boxes, you should be able to see the box information in the Streak sidebar and in an inbox label. This information was missing and has returned.

📧 Some Recent Activity email buttons not working for some emails

Some emails in the “Recent Activity” section of the Streak sidebar weren’t opening when clicked — making for very anticlimactic results. This has been fixed, so you’re now able to open recent emails in the box same from the sidebar.

✅ Task digest emails not sending

Task digest emails are a daily recap of where you stand with all your tasks (think overdue tasks, upcoming tasks, etc.). These weren’t sending for the past few months, but have resumed.
