Mostly just maintenance, but we're also making it clearer how to send upgrade offers, and flagging issues where an offer you are sending to a already paid subscriber isn't going to work.

Highlights

⚠ New warnings and safeguards for upgrade campaigns and advanced autoresponser

We now do more to warn sites about sending Ghost offers to already paying subscribers, since those don't work, and make it easier to use the Outpost promotions, which do work for already paying subscribers

 

ADDED  3 items

💳 A nightly check that finds subscriptions stuck on a failed payment in the last ten days and starts the Failed Payment Flow that should have started for them
📋 A Copy button for %OFFER_URL% on the email template screens, and the offer picker now appears whenever an offer is attached instead of hiding until the email already has the link
💽 Nightly collection of site data now runs on a schedule for sites already enrolled
 

CHANGED  3 items

🚦 The limit on how often your pages can ask Outpost for CTAs and paywalls now counts individual readers rather than the whole site, so a burst of traffic is less likely to not show a CTA to some readers
🔑 Saving a Ghost staff access token now switches on data collection for your site (Labs, invite only)
🧭 On-page activity from a reader who just signed up is now attributed to that reader instead of being filed as anonymous reader
 

FIXED  3 items

🛒 Fixed a couple of issues with the mailing address step for physical media publishers
👥 Fixed the members list showing "Lifetime" under subscription length on every free reader
🐞 Fixed the Outpost Promotions tab of the autoresponder offer picker, which didn't have a "No Promotion" option, so a promotion could not be taken back off an email
 

IMPROVED  2 items

⚠️ Autoresponder emails that have an offer set up but no %OFFER_URL% link in the body are now flagged in red and named in the nightly problems email
🔗 Upgrade campaigns and flows aimed at readers who already subscribe now warn that Ghost offer links do not work and the Outpost promotions need to be used instead
