Updates

Security UI Improvements

We heard from customers that some of the UI and messaging around our security features made it a bit difficult to figure out next steps. Per this feedback, we’ve updated messaging and visuals throughout these features to make them more clear in general.

  1. Live App Failed Logins
    1. Updated default message to make next steps clearer.
    2. A password reset link now takes the customer directly to the reset when "Allow user to request password reset to unlock account" is enabled.
  2. Live App Inactivity Logout
    1. Styling now matches regular Knack modals, text has been updated to make next steps clearer and buttons on modal match this text.
  3. Builder Failed Logins
    1. Updated Builder lockout message to make next steps clearer.
  4. Builder Inactivity Logout
    1. Styling now matches regular Knack modals, text has been updated to make next steps clearer and buttons on modal match this text.
    2. Session expired takes you to "Your session has expired" modal login window - not to Builder login. Logging back in on this modal takes you back to your place in the Builder instead of the first object of the app.

Zapier

Routing has been added so that private servers and HIPAA accounts can access Zapier integrations.

Account Cancellations

Upon deleting a paid account, the account email address is now removed from the Mailchimp subscription list.
