We've added support for images, videos and documents in your timeline posts. When adding a post to a timeline, you can either drag and drop files or click "Attachments" to add almost any type of file to the timeline post. The sponsor can then see these while reviewing their child's profile when they login. When the sponsor clicks on an image, it's displayed in a full-screen window where they can easily flip through all the images in a single post.

We've seen it in a lot of your donation forms - now you can track it and push it to your CRM. We call it the Referral Source... or "How'd You Hear About Us?".

To start, go to Settings & Admin > Accounts. Look for the 'Referral Sources' panel and follow the instructions.

To push that data into your CRM:

1. Login to DonorPerfect and create a DONOR UDF field. You can name it whatever you want - we recommend GC_REF_SOURCE.
2. Back in Givecloud, go to your DP Integration Screen (ex: Settings & Admin > Integrations > DonorPerfect).
3. Scroll down to the GC Meta Data panel and look for the Referral Source field and enter your field name (GC_REF_SOURCE).
4. From now on, the GC_REF_SOURCE field on the DONOR UDF table will be populated with the referral data.

Your donors can more easily access their tax receipts using the new 'My Tax Receipts' menu in their Donor Portal. We group tax receipts together by year.

You must have Tax Receipts enabled in Givecloud in order for this feature to be enabled.

If you haven't already, consider turning Givecloud's tax-receipting on. You can fully customize the template. Givecloud will generate an encrypted PDF that will be instantly emailed to your donor and made available in their Donor Portal.

It's about time. We know ;) You can now track individual vs organization donations - and more!

To get started, go to Settings & Admin > Account and look for the new Account Types panel. You'll be able to manage the different account types, add some, remove some and choose which ones show up on your payment forms.

You can also map the Account Types over to DonorPerfect's Donor Types to keep everything in beautiful harmony.

NOTE: This feature is only supported on locked website themes. Need your theme updated to support this new feature, contact support@givecloud.co

Mr, Mrs, Ms, Dr, Prof... Now you can track the donor's title.

To start, go to Settings & Admin > Accounts and find the settings panel for Donor Title.

These email notification features have been designed to help you automate more of your donor communication.

There are three new notification types:

• Recurring Donation Successful
• Sponsorship Started
• Sponsorship Ended
• Membership Expired
• Sponsorship Anniversary
• Sponsorship Birthday
• (more to come :)

You can also offset the day when your email notifications are sent to be x days before or x days after the triggered date.

Here's some ideas:

• Hey Adam! Your Gold Membership is about to expire in 30 days! Click here to renew!
• Dear Carla, A year ago, you started sponsoring Sam. Want to honor this occasion by sending Sam a gift?
• Dear Carla, It's Sams birthday is just 5 days away! Want to give him a gift?
• Hey Adam - Your Gold Membership expired yesterday!

Head to Settings & Admin > Email to start using these new settings!
