We’ll be publishing a new version of the app to the App Store and the Play Store next week. This has a bunch of little tweaks and improvements as well as a lot more options for customization. If you’d like to get an early look at the new and improved version you can but upgrading to the Beta channel. Details on how to do that are here: https://buzzshot.co/support/article/beta-upgrade/

Any feedback or anything you’d like to see in the next version please do let us know at support@buzzshot.co

You can now edit the SMS Buzzshot sends and the contents of the landing page linked to from it. Previously this required emailing Buzzshot support. To see your current settings and maybe change them please go to Settings then click on “SMS Message”.

When we post your photos to Facebook we include a caption. That’s always been customizable (the default is usually something like “Book your escape at http://acmeescape.com”) but as of today we can set you up to customise it for each team as well. We can add an extra field when you complete a team (next to “Did they win?” etc) where you can enter some custom text. Use it to congratulate a team on their unique method of escape or to wish a player a happy birthday! And if you leave it blank we’ll still use the default text just as before.

To use this feature we have to enable it for your account. Let us know at support@buzzshot.co if you want it!

A new beta (testing) version of the Buzzshot app is available. This release is mostly bug fixes and small improvements. Some of the fixes and changes are:

• Removes the limit of 10 minors per adult (if using “I am signing for minors” option)
• Save button when Kiosk mode is now more obvious so players can find it more easily
• If using the timeslot field it will now show upcoming timeslots at the top to make them quicker to find
• Improvements to photo uploads. Uploads should now work in the background even when you close the Buzzshot app. It will handle choppy internet connections far better.
• Confirmation screen when selecting photos from the list. Shows the photo full size so you can be sure you’ve got the right one.
• It is now possible to translate the labels in the minors and signature windows
• Formatting for the content in the New Team screen now works much better. Bold, italics and newlines will be displayed correctly where they wouldn’t have before.

If you’d like to give it a try please follow the instuctions at https://buzzshot.co/support/article/beta-upgrade/

If you are using the Bookeo integration and a booking is cancelled we previously did not do anything. Now if a booking is cancelled we remove it from Buzzshot (unless you already completed it in which case we leave it alone).

If you have any questions about how the Bookeo integration works or about anything else with Buzzshot please do let us know!

We’re constantly working to make Buzzshot better. A little tweak to the user interface here, an extra feature there. When we add something big we’ll usually send out an email or maybe even write a blog post, but for the smaller day to day improvements we didn’t have a good way of letting you know, until now!

Welcome to the Announcements! Keep an eye on the notifications to be updated when we make changes or improvements, add features or fix bug.

We’d love to hear your feedback on any change we make, or on anything else about Buzzsshot. Let us know by emailing support@buzzshot.co or using the chat widget in the corner of every Buzzshot Admin screen.
