Updates: Trigger Action Logs & Notification of Emails to Applicants

ReviewRoom is an ever-evolving product. We’re continually listening to the needs of our customers in order to provide improvements and solutions that matter. On that note, we are excited to announce two key updates to ReviewRoom today!
 

Update #1: Trigger Action Logs

As we have mentioned in previous blog posts, the trigger system is an extremely powerful automation feature of ReviewRoom. Using triggers, you can automate virtually any manual task to free up your time and explode your productivity.
 

Each time a trigger successfully fires (“firing” is when a trigger activates) a counter increments by one. This information helps administrators when testing their triggers, and also keeps them informed about the goings-on in their ReviewRoom.
 

However, it was a cumbersome task to check on multiple triggers. It involved a lot of clicking because the information was not accessible from one main screen. As well, when a trigger fired, there was no way of knowing when it fired, and which user caused the trigger to fire.
 

The Solution:

1. The top-most checkbox will select all events that are currently visible from the log. You can also select individual events using the other corresponding checkboxes.
 

2. This field shows you the date and time that the trigger fired. Please note that triggers which fired before June 29th will not be accessible from this new screen.
 

3. This field will show the name of the trigger that fired.
 

4. In this field you will find the corresponding Submission ID for the trigger that fired.
 

5. The corresponding user that caused the trigger to fire will be logged in this field.
 

6. Quickly search for a specific trigger, date, user, etc. by typing in your query here, and clicking on the magnifying glass icon.
 

Guru Tip: The field headings for items 2, 3, 4 and 5 can be clicked on to sort in an ascending or descending manner.
 

How to Access this New Screen:

The Action Log is found beneath the Triggers section of the Settings menu in your ReviewRoom administrator’s panel.
 

Update #2: Email Confirmations for Applicants

Another popular feature request was regarding emails that were sent to an applicant via trigger. Until recently, if a trigger caused an email to be sent to your applicant, they would not receive a visual confirmation from ReviewRoom that this occurred.
 

With this new update, your applicants will now receive confirmation from ReviewRoom that an email has been sent to them.
 

No Special Set-up Required:
Make sure that your applicant receives the email by adding the {{ submission }} token in the “Send an email to” box as you would normally:

Now, once the trigger fires and an email is sent to the applicant, they will receive an immediate notice on the bottom of their screen to inform them as such.
