Shared by Georg • August 25, 2024

You can now configure what timezone you want your journeys to use.

Each company now has a default timezone setting that can be configured under your company settings section. All Journeys use this default timezone unless configured manually otherwise.


Why did we make this improvement?

  • Users working with travellers in different timezones (countries) were using automated actions dependant on date and time, by using this new functionality you have this all set up

Shared by Georg • August 25, 2024

When creating a form in our form builder, you can now search through one of the largest, free image database on the planet to help adding relevant images to your form.

Simply add a search string and the image search will use the Unsplash database to come up with images that you can select from.


How do I use this feature?

  1. Open the form builder
  2. Add / drag an image element to the form
  3. Click the image element and select "Search"


Why did we make this improvement?

  • Most forms contain images, finding the correct one that was free and looked great is very hard without assistance
  • Help users maintain flow by having everything they need in the builder

SMS character counter

Shared by Georg • August 23, 2024


One thing we were unhappy with in our system was has unclear the SMS action feature was with regards to pricing and calculation.

How many SMS messages are actually sent to the recipient is based on the length of the message itself. We at 50skills use a third-party service that has explicit rules for these segmentations.

With this new feature you can now see, when configuring the SMS action, how many characters it will be and how many messages that might translate to.

It is important to know that using dynamic variables in the message will result in a SMS length that can not be calculated, so be careful when allowing for dynamic messages!


Why did we make this change?

  • Add clarity to SMS feature and pricing model
  • Allow users to visually determine how long the SMS should be

Shared by Georg • June 10, 2024

We know a lot of our users have been waiting for this one!

You can now configure your external forms to automatically start the traveller journey as soon as it is submitted.

This means that you no longer have to rely on having to manually start a journey that was created from an external form!


Why did we make this change?

  • To alleviate the need for a person to monitor the journey and manually starting journeys that do not need any review before starting
  • This feature also improves the experience for the person filling out the external form as they can receive journey notifications right away
