Special features

Employee newsletter enhancements

Enhanced resend workflow

Newsletter managers now have better control and transparency when handling failed sends.

Block auto replies for newsletters

This feature prevents automatic responses from recipients’ inboxes - e.g., OOO replies - from being sent to the sender/from email address used for a newsletter. This setting is enabled by default but can be configured for each newsletter, ensuring auto replies are blocked unless you choose to disable it.

Show cover images for events

Events listed in newsletters now include cover images when available.

Recognition enhancements

Set allowance timezone 

Recognition managers can set a custom timezone for reward allowances to be distributed in, instead of the UTC based distribution prior. This will allow for better and more useful timing of notifications around allowance balance refreshes. It also, will increase the system resilience and scalability by offsetting the load of distribution across timezones.

Backfill historical points 

There is now a way within Recognition & Rewards to import previous user point balances into the system. This will allow users to keep their points between systems and make onboarding more seamless. This will require opening a ticket with the Support team and attaching a CSV in the expected format as there is no way to do this in the UI currently. If interested, inform the Support team to contact our Recognition team with the applicable CSV.
