Your experience matters to us, and we’re committed to ongoing improvement and striving to make Sprout better for you.

For 544 weeks (and counting), we’ve been relentlessly committed to the photography industry and making the best all-in-one business tool for photographers. Sprout gets better every day.

This week, you can enjoy these updates:

• Email attachments under 15MB will be attached directly to emails. However, larger attachments will still be linked to be compatible and user-friendly in many popular email inboxes.
• You can now select Bermuda as a country option.
• Improved focal point cropping for hero images in Designer Emails, especially on mobile.
• Fixed issues with duplicating older price lists with unusual data.
• Resolved an issue where the “automatic” header type could choose “no image” for emails attached to a Shoot with at least one Gallery.
• Fixed a visual bug when you add an item to a package with several add-ons; it would display as if all add-ons were chosen.

This week, you’ll also enjoy our spotlight of the week - a revamped email attachment system.

When you send an email from Sprout with an attachment, Sprout will host the file on our servers and provide a link to download the file in the email. That was a great way to keep the email size low and build added reliability and flexibility with outgoing emails with attachments.

However, Sprouters have been asking - for quite a while - to allow for more traditional email attachments. So, in the spirit of “Sprout Now,” - we revamped our email attachment system.

Now, when your email attachments for an email add up to less than 15MB, your attachment(s) will attach like a normal email attachment. If they are over that threshold, they’ll be linked like we used to.

This is the perfect balance of reliability, flexibility, and usability. It provides a system that works for anyone and everyone, no matter how you’d like to send email attachments.

Dylan from our support team, who chats with our Sprouters every day, shares, “It's exciting for our photographer partners to be able to send emails with attachments to their clients, as their clients are more likely to read/open an email attachment than to click out to an external link!”

Your experience matters to us, and we’re committed to ongoing improvement and striving to make Sprout better for you.

This week, enjoy 15 new updates:

• When you go to sign a Booking Proposal as the photographer, the “your client signed” screen now shows all invoices and payments, giving you clear details without needing to go back into the order.
• You can now search in the “default workflow” dropdown in settings, making it easier to find workflows.
• If you click a link to sign up to Sprout after your subscription expires, it won’t open the signup pop-up twice.
• The shop preview now updates correctly between dark and light mode for the “hero” section.
• We have removed the “demo” cart display on the price guide.
• The email list page now shows undelivered emails in an error state, making it clear if an email wasn’t sent.
• You can now add a new Questionnaire on mobile by clicking the + button.
• Text for checkboxes and radio buttons on a Contact Form can now be edited on mobile.
• Added a limitation to restrict you from deleting a Shoot Workflow that’s being used by a Booking Proposal Template, preventing odd behaviour.
• Orders added on mobile within a Shoot > Order page now attach to the shoot as intended.
• Notification Emails are now properly encoded to eliminate display issues with special characters.

• Some layouts in the shop that use the Sprout visualizer are now properly centred and cropped.
• Resending an already sent email now sends out the email as intended.

This week, we’re shining the spotlight on the improved Booking Proposal signing page.

After your client signs their contract in a Booking Proposal, you must counter-sign it to confirm the booking and convert the Lead into a Shoot in Sprout Studio. We’ve enhanced this booking page to provide you, the photographer, with more information to review while signing.

Now, when you review the booking and prepare to sign, you’ll see:

• The package they booked
• The total amount your client spent
• Their shoot date and any other scheduled dates
• Their invoices, each with its due date, amount and paid-to-date
• A quick link to view each invoice
• A “book” button to open the contract to counter-sign it
• An alternative button that allows you to cancel the contract and book the Shoot without it

Nic from our team who worked on this feature, shares, “These updates improve the photographer's access to information about the BP that the client filled out. Previously much of the invoice info was only accessible by clicking into the order itself, now the photographer can see at-a-glance when the invoices for this BP Order are due and if they've been paid before they sign the contract on their end.”

We’re thrilled to keep enhancing Sprout Studio for you and look forward to you experiencing these updates. Thank you for being part of the Sprout family!
