Release Notes v8.1

Release Date: January 22, 2026 Version: 8.1

This release focuses on optimizing performance with new reporting summaries, extending our Block Editor capabilities with universal form support, and refining the user identification process with smarter name extrapolation and validation logic.

Backend & Data (API) v8.1

New Features

Universal Form Code Support

• Form Conversion Booster: Added backend support for the new Universal Form Code snippet. This allows the system to:
  1. Trigger the "Continue with" blur screen when a user clicks any field on a form.
  2. Auto-fill First Name, Last Name, and Email into the form once the user authenticates.

  3. Support customization of the blur screen text via locale files.

     Performance Deltas in Attribution

• Enhanced Metrics: The Attribution Report hover now displays Performance (Conversions / Unique Visitors) and Performance Delta (percent change vs. previous interval) for every source, campaign, and keyword.

Improvements

• Faster Reporting: Implemented a new Monthly Summary aggregation (similar to hourly/daily summaries) to significantly speed up Report API calls over long date ranges.
• Verified Name Priority: When a user verifies their identity (via social login or JSL), their verified First/Last Name now overwrites any previously extrapolated or identified name to ensure data accuracy.

• Filter Logic: Added support for the user_id       filter within the SQL implementation of GetUserActivities      .

  🛠 Backend Tasks

• SQL Backfill: Ran a comprehensive SQL backfill script to align historical data with new schema structures.

Bug Fixes

• Form Submission Logic: Updated the form submission logic to stop calling identify_user      if the user is already Identified or Verified. This prevents redundant calls and ensures cleaner data.
• Invalid Email Clearing: Fixed a bug where the email field would become uneditable after entering an invalid email. The field now clears automatically when switching methods (e.g., clicking a social provider button), preventing the user from getting stuck.

WordPress Plugin (WPP) v8.1

New Features

Form Conversion Booster Block

We have added a powerful new block to the WordPress Block Editor (Gutenberg): Form Conversion Booster.

• Universal Support: Designed to work with almost any form (e.g., Formidable Forms, WPForms).

  Auto-Fill: Gates the form and auto-fills user data upon login.

  Configuration:

  • Email Method: Choose between "Email + Password + PIN" or "Sign-in link (Magic Link)".
  • Custom Text: Customize the prompt text displayed to the user.

Calendly Block

• Native Integration: Added a "Calendly Conversion" block to the editor. This implements the Calendly form gate shortcode directly, allowing you to lock Calendly booking forms behind a Bread & Butter login.

JavaScript Library (JSL) & Conversion Widgets

Improvements

• CDN Migration: Moved all static tool images (e.g., Content Gate Classic images, Opt-in graphics) to a CDN. This reduces the file size of the JSL, improving load times for your website visitors.
• Icon Refresh: Updated the provider icon for Local Login and Magic Link to use the Bread & Butter "Bread" icon across all profiles and tiles.

Bug Fixes

• Invalid Email UI: Fixed a usability issue where entering an invalid email (e.g., "yyyy") would lock the field. Users can now clear the field and attempt a social login or re-enter a valid email without refreshing.

NurtureAI Agent (NUR) v8.1

New Features

Smart Name Extrapolation

We have improved how we determine a user's name when they haven't explicitly provided it.

1. Profile Scrape: First, the agent attempts to find the name from the User Profile scrape (LinkedIn, etc.).
2. Email Pattern Matching: If no profile is found, the agent now attempts to extrapolate the name from the email address structure (e.g., firstname.lastname@company.com       or f.lastname@company.com      ).
3. Overwrite Logic: If a new, higher-confidence name is found, it updates the user's Nurture Profile automatically.

SMYKM Intent Updates

• Refined Logic: Implemented various updates to the "Show Me You Know Me" (SMYKM) intent based on recent tuning sessions, improving the relevance of generated nurture messages.
