Release Week 2026-01-14


New Features


  • Digital Signature: Access Code Added to Auto-Reminder Emails

Auto-reminder emails for documents requiring an access code now include the access code directly in the reminder message. This reduces support requests and eliminates the need for administrators to manually resend the initial invitation email to retrieve the code.

What’s New

  • Access code displayed in auto-reminders: When a document signature workflow requires an access code, all automatic reminder emails now include that code.
  • Improved self-service for signers: Signers can complete the signature process without needing to contact an administrator to obtain the code again.



  • Batch Home Credit Feature


We are pleased to announce the release of the Batch Home Credit feature, designed to streamline managers' workflow when handling tax credit forms across multiple properties.

 

 
What's New:
  • Property Grouped Credit Management
Managers can now view and manage tax credit forms organized by individual properties rather than at the company level. This provides clear visibility, a focused workflow, and improved organization.
  • Enhanced Property Display
Each Property now displays a property name, tenant names, a form count, and a form link to tax credit page.


 

  • Certified Emails Release For Everyone


Certified Emails introduces a more formal, trackable email delivery method for high-importance communications (e.g., notices, compliance letters, payment reminders, document delivery). Each send generates a verifiable proof package and a detailed audit trail to improve traceability, reduce disputes, and streamline follow-ups.


This features can be enable at the property level, which needs Upperbee pay enable.
