What's New in SureMembers

Introducing two new features to SureMembers with this release.

User Importing

First new features, user importing. With user importing you will be able to easily migrate from other membership solutions with ease. We provide a sample CSV file for you to add your new members to, and then import.

We put a lot of effort into building this the right way with proper validation and feedback on any errors.

Email Sending System

We have a big vision for SureMembers and an essential component to get there is adding an email sending system that we can expand upon when certan events are triggerd.

This initial release will introduce 3 new emails that can be sent.

• Reset Password Email: This will override the native email that WordPress sends, giving you complete control over what is sent
• New User Onboarding Email: This email will be sent when a new user is registered or added in some way, to your website
• Access Granted Email: This email is sent when a user is added to a new access group

For each of these email you can customize the text and add any number of tokens inside the email.

For example, the access granted email, you can include the date that the access will expire for memberships that have a fixed legnth.

As we introduce new features to SureMembers, we will also be adding more email templates.

✨ New:

• New: Introduced the email notification feature for access groups.
• New: Introduced the import users feature via CSV file.

The main focus of this release is to fix a few reported compatibility issues that have been reported.

We were going to include these compatibility fixes with an upcoming release that will bring two new features: Email Notification System and User Importing, which will make it easy to migrate from other membership systems.

But we needed a little more time to polish up these two new features and didn’t want to delay these compatibility fixes.

In the coming days, we will have another release with these two new features as we work towards our roadmap.
