Otto's Logbook: Release Notes 8.21.2025
We’re excited to share the latest updates and improvements in DonorDock! This release brings two highly requested features to help you stay on course, along with important fixes and performance improvements to keep your work sailing smoothly.
✨ Template Folders
You asked, we delivered! Template folders make it easy to keep your email templates neat and organized.
Create custom folders with names and colors
Drag and drop templates, or use the Move option to place them
Folders automatically sort alphabetically
Edit or delete folders anytime — templates are never lost, they simply return to the unfoldered area
This feature helps you quickly find the right template and keep your workspace tidy.
✨ Page Anchors in Templates
Page anchors (also called page sections) let you link readers directly to specific parts of your email.
Add anchors to individual elements or entire sections
Link to anchors from menus, buttons, or text links
Readers can jump straight to an article, update, or image with smooth scrolling
This is especially helpful in newsletters or long-form emails where you want to guide readers to what matters most.
✨ Automation Triggers for Bulk Additions
A small but impactful update to Automations. Automations are now triggered when contacts are bulk added to a badge or marketing list. Previously, adding contacts by report did not activate any automations. Now, when up to 1,000 contacts are added at once, DonorDock will run the automation logic tied to the badge or marketing list in question. This makes it easier to ensure consistent follow-up and communication.
✨ Bad Email and Bad Spouse Email Fields
Two new fields, Bad Email and Bad Spouse Email, have been added to improve email deliverability and overall email list health.
These flags are automatically set when an email or spouse's email experiences a hard bounce or drops
Flagged emails are automatically excluded from future emails
If the email or spouse email is updated to a valid address, the flag resets to false
🚢 Hull Repairs and Bug Fixes
Improved issue with 2FA not always saving in the browser, which prompted log-ins every time despite org settings
Fixed a conversion error that occurred when exporting certain reports
Updated contact search to improve speed and responsiveness
Corrected a GoFundMe Pro issue where gift amounts were syncing incorrectly
Updated the payment ID field to allow editing on all payment types
Enhanced GoFundMe Pro sync: if no matching fund is found, a new fund will be created in DonorDock to ensure gifts are tracked correctly
