Greetings!

It's the "Salsa Weekly Highlight," your quick hit on what's what in Salsa to help get the most out of your online program. As always, you can find plenty more news, updates, and conversation throughout the week on SalsaCommons.org.

Congress reconvened this week, and I thought we'd take the opportunity to spotlight a few of the cool bells and whistles available with Salsa Actions.

This week: one neat little feature to keep your supporters' advocacy messages to decision-makers fresh.

Salsa Weekly Highlight: Smart Groups

(From this week's Weekly Highlight email. Click here to sign up to receive it in your inbox every week!)

Greetings!

It's the "Salsa Weekly Highlight," your quick hit on what's what in Salsa to help get the most out of your online program. As always, you can find plenty more news, updates, and conversation throughout the week on SalsaCommons.org.

This week, we'll take a look under the Supporter tab at Smart Groups, one of Salsa's many features to help you segment your list.

What's the difference between Smart Groups and regular Groups? Smart Groups are automatically populated by Salsa, freeing you from remembering manual updates.

At 12-hour intervals, Smart Groups empty themselves and repopulate based on the results of a query you've told it to use.

A Note About Outages

We are extremely sorry for the outage we experienced today, and others over the past week. We know that you rely on our service each and every day and an outage of any duration is not acceptable.


Due to our growth, additional burdens and requirements have been placed on our systems over the past few months. We are working diligently on a significant overhaul of our back-end server and network systems.


We have spent a significant sum in hardware over the past two months alone, and are in the process of installing and migrating to this new gear on a weekly basis. Of course, this process can be rather tricky, and entail unforeseen ramifications that manifest themselves at the most inopportune times.  The outages over the past week have all been side affects of the work we're doing to expand capacity while simultaneously increasing redundancy at every point in our system.


We are very sorry for the inconvenience the past week's outages have caused.  I assure you that we continue to make every effort possible to prevent these issues, and are committed to getting this right as quickly as possible.

Salsa Weekly Highlight: Using Salsa Built-In Reports

(From this week's Weekly Highlight email. Click here to sign up to receive it in your inbox every week!)

Greetings!

It's the "Salsa Weekly Highlight," your quick hit on what's new in Salsa to help get the most out of your online program. As always, you can find plenty more news, updates, and conversation throughout the week on SalsaCommons.org.

This week's feature is one that I hope you've been making use of already: Salsa's expanded menus of built-in reports. My favorite thing about these system reports is that you can grab copies for your own headquarters, and customize them to your needs!
