Our developers have been barreling forward, wrapping up outstanding projects from this year and kicking off the first projects from the product road map that we discussed at the Summit. Here are a few of our favorite features and fixes from the week:
App Downloads
We added app download links to all of our band notification emails.
We're improving the aesthetic of mobile app download banners and making the metro icon clickable.

Bug Fixes
Beginning tomorrow, you will be able to upload GIF ads again.
We've also fixed a major bug with front end search.
For the past few weeks, metros have reported that certain approved events did not correctly surface in front end search. This was caused by a bug that was preventing events from being properly indexed after being batch approved from the pending queue. That bug was fixed on 11/23 and all events created since then are being properly indexed.
However, you may still occasionally run into events that were created before 11/23 that do not surface in search. If you discover such an event, please force a re-index by:
- Editing the event in Radmin
- Changing the popularity
- Re-saving the event
This will cause the event to be re-indexed and surface in front end search as expected.
A reminder that if an event is absent from all search that you can always use "the JSON trick" to quickly find it.
Lastly, we fixed a bug that was preventing metros from properly switching an ad's type between 'image' and 'HTML.'
New Updates
We're improving the aesthetic and interactivity of snapshots.

Beginning tomorrow, metros will have the ability to select an existing alternate Mandrill template to power the confirmation emails for their giveaways.
You already had this ability with RSVPs.
Tip of the Week
You may have heard about a project that our developers were actively working on to let a metro sync MailChimp and Radmin with the click of a button. Well, that project is complete and four metros' mailing lists are already synced with our platform.In addition to passing subscription information back and forth between the two platforms, our sync also sends user info such as zipcode, birthdate and '21+?' to MailChimp as these are added to our database (which occurs, for instance, when information is collected via an RSVP).
We'll be syncing up every metro throughout the month - and we'll let you know once your metro's sync is complete. At that time, you will no longer need to export mail list users from Admin - as your new users will automatically be added to MailChimp just moments after signing up.
Please let us know if you have any questions until then - and thanks for reading this week's Product Update!
