August 2020 Release Notes

This past development cycle, we continued to make improvements to our native eSignature integration, improved our ADA accessibility, removed our invoice download limit, and crossed off some other updates and bug fixes on our list. 

Check out our release notes below to get an overview of everything new and a sneak peek at what is just around the corner.

What we’re most excited about 🎉

Improvements to our eSignature integration

The ability to send firm documents out to clients for eSignature right from AdvicePay is a feature many firms love for its cost-effectiveness and efficiency. To show our love, we added even more fun new features this month to make it a true snazzy solution to streamlining your client workflows!

First off, we will now email a copy of signed and completed documents directly to every person who has signed them. This means that a client no longer needs to log in to their account to access the final document or call/email you to ask for it! 

Instead, they’ll get a copy delivered straight to their inbox immediately after the last signee has submitted their signature:

Second, our engineering team performed some cool code magic to clean up the names that appear in the drop-down menu when selecting document recipients. The result? Any “Role” that has a variation of the word “client” in it will only display client names in the drop-down when you go to send out a document.

(Previously, all users on your account would show up -- including admins, analysts, and fellow advisors.)

With all unnecessary names removed from view, sending off a document to a client is simpler than ever!
