For Users

Improved

• During contact import, Reach will now pre-select the first phone number and email address of each contact so you are less likely to forget this step and fill up your network with people who are missing their contact info.

For Users

Fixed

• We’ve added a much more in-depth tutorial the first time you launch contact import. It walks you through the steps and shows you some cute animations. Everyone loves animations!
• Switching between campaigns, logging out, and leaving a campaign should all be more reliable now.

Fixed

• Some phone numbers y’all had in your phone contacts were making Reach all confused and crashy. It should now be more accepting of odd phone numbers.
• It was possible to accidentally save changes to someone’s name with prefixes and suffixes of “None”. Weird name, right?

Fixed
