      • UPDATES: Offline Event Uploader Tool 

      Our team deployed the following updates to the Offline Event Uploader tool:

        • Larger file sizes are now able to be uploaded and do not require you to split the CSV file into multiple files! 
        • We are now taking sample rows from your CSV file to get the estimated Match Rate and issues/warnings. 
        • Users will be now able to upload files of up to 5,000 rows successfully through our platform.

      • UPDATE: Facebook Advertising Metric Funnel

      We made some changes to the Facebook Metric Funnel on the Dealer Dashboard and Facebook Advertising Reporting Page.

        • The Funnel will now load with the All Traffic option selected.
        • Our old "Default" filter option has been renamed "Website Traffic."
        • To prepare the dealer dashboard for our future Omni-Channel expansion:
          • We updated the “Active Products” listing on the Dealer Dashboard to display Products in a way that accommodates additional channels (if any) that a dealer onboards.
          • You will be able to see the additional products on the Dealer Info page.

      • UPDATE: BuyerBridge Dashboard

      BuyerBridge has migrated our knowledge base and support functions from Zendesk to Hubspot! You can now open HubSpot tickets directly in the dashboard. 

      🔧 Bug Fixes and Improvements

      • Changes were deployed to the Offline Event Uploader that corrected issues where a phone number and email were required to be populated in the CSV file. 
        • The tool now requires either a phone number or email address to upload an Offline Event set.
        • BUT, it's always good to include more information if you have it!
      • We fixed an issue with the chatbot that was causing messages to be flagged as non-marketplace inquiries.
      • When the Marketplace product is removed from a dealer's account, the chatbot will be disabled.
      • Any agencies that no longer have an active dealer account as a result of the dealer deactivation will be HARD deleted! 
        • Agencies will not be deleted if they have any other active dealers attached to their accounts.
      • During onboarding, error messaging has been enhanced to let the user know if they are still waiting for page access to be accepted OR if Page Access has been granted with no permissions.
