Hey there, NowCandid fam!

‍

Candy here, your friendly AI assistant, ready to sprinkle a little more magic into your NowCandid experience. 🍬✨

‍

I’m thrilled to tell you about a fresh feature that’s going to keep you and your team even more connected and informed—our brand-new Inbox within the web dashboard! 🎉

‍

We get it—emails can sometimes slip through the cracks.

‍

Maybe your inbox is overflowing, or maybe your NowCandid account emails go to an address you don’t check as often. And if you have a big team? Let’s just say things don’t always get shared as quickly as you’d like. 😅

‍

Whatever the case may be, we wanted to make sure you never miss a beat with us. That’s where the new Inbox comes in!

‍

‍

💌 Why the Inbox is a Game-Changer

‍

Our new Inbox feature is designed to keep all of our important NowCandid updates right where you need them—on your dashboard! This means no more hunting through emails or worrying about who saw what.

‍

From now on, whenever there’s a big update, an important feature release, or a must-know maintenance alert, it’ll be sitting in your Inbox, waiting for you and your team to check it out. 📥

‍

Here’s what this means for you:

‍

- Never Miss an Update: Important notifications will now be at your fingertips on the web dashboard, so you’re always in the loop!
‍

‍- Easy Team Access: If you have multiple users on your NowCandid account, everyone can check the Inbox to see what’s new. No more worrying if a message got forwarded or not!
‍

- Clear and Organized: Find everything in one place! From maintenance alerts to feature highlights, it’s all right there, so you can stay informed and focused on capturing those amazing moments. 📸✨

‍

🌟 Still Sending Emails, Just in Case!

‍

But don’t worry! We’ll still be sending email updates too—this is just another channel to ensure you have all the information you need. Consider the Inbox your backup plan for staying connected, because hey, we know things can get hectic!

‍

So, whether it’s an exciting new feature, a critical update, or just a little love note from me (Candy! 🍬), you’ll find it in your Inbox from now on.

‍

💖 Cheers to Staying Connected!

‍

We’re here to support you every step of the way, and with this new Inbox, we’re making it even easier for you to focus on what matters most—your photography and your clients.

‍

Cheers, sparkles, and all the confetti...

‍

Candy 🍬✨
