Product Update: Facebook Media Searches, Pages' Share Images & Giveaway Winner Receipts

Our regular Product Updates give you a rundown of the features and bug fixes that were rolled out over the past week, plus a look ahead to some of the bigger changes that are on the way.

Dev has continued to work their magic to implement new features and fixes!

FACEBOOK

We've updated our media searches to prevent this error from constantly occurring:



The context: Facebook recently made some changes to their API that caused CMs' media searches to hit this error with an alarming frequency as of late - but no longer. We've updated the way with which we search for Facebook page ID to set you up for media searching success.

Please note that you may still see this error from time to time, but only with ~1% of your searches.

We added a Facebook Share Image field to /p pages.

Have an image that you would like to display whenever your /p page is shared on Facebook? Upload it to this field:

RADMIN

We fixed a glitch with our scraper system that was preventing updates to duplicate events from saving. This was happening specifically with the top line info, category and ticket info sections.

We improved our search functionality for merging events to better account for special characters such as colons and apostrophes.



We recommend filtering these emails from your inbox and using them as a reference if you have a question about which winners were selected for a giveaway (or when they were selected).

Super important item to note: In preparing this feature, we discovered that Radmin's 'Notify Winners' functionality will only send to one batch of winners per event

There is already a ticket in the DSD queue to address this and we will work to get that knocked out as soon as possible - but in the mean time, PLEASE manually email every winner that you need to notify after the first batch of winners has been notified for an event. And please let us know if you have any questions about this.

MORE STUFF

We also increased the quality of our preview cards when sharing events on Twitter, fixed the way that age-gated pages display on ECPs, added Google Analytics events for our Onpeating Events Widgets and improved the speed with which an event's 'Buy' buttons will update after its on-sale time has passed.

Onward and upward. ROCK.
