Gather ‘round people!! It’s time for this month’s addition of “what’s new at HoneyBook?”.

Check out the last 30 days of new features and things we’ve improved upon below. 

 

Want a deep dive on these new features and how to use them? Check out our live class 

 

New

New mobile app home screen
The HoneyBook mobile app home screen has gotten a makeover. Now, you can stay on top of actions that require attention with easy access to recent messages, a snapshot view of your calendar, new leads, and more–right when you open the mobile app. This new home screen also provides a mobile view that more closely mirrors the desktop application, creating a more unified HoneyBook experience.

 

Custom archive reasons

Now, you can add your own reasons for archiving projects, beyond the reasons pre-loaded to your account. This update gives you more detailed insights into project histories and helps you identify archive trends.

 

Template releases
Seven new templates are available for use in the Template Gallery. This collection of content- and copy- rich templates is perfect for digital marketers, copywriters, and general marketing consultants looking for new templates or ways to improve existing service guides, proposals, and more.

 

Auto-tag projects or contacts created from lead forms
For more control over project and contact insights, you can now set lead form inquiries to automatically have the tags of your choice added. This new functionality helps you search for, filter, and organize your projects and contacts from the get-go.

 

Improved

Second client name field
To make managing multi-client projects even easier, we’ve added a “second client name” field to smart fields. You can pull this smart field into your emails and smart file text blocks, then sit back as your second clients’ names auto-populate.

 

Bookkeeping improvements

Your Bookkeeping page just got faster, smarter, and more insightful with the introduction of more payment statuses. Now, you’ll always know where your money is, and you can use the newly-available transaction Trace IDs to help your bank find it, too.
 

 

New features are rolled out in batches to ensure steady deployment and might not be instantly accessible. Feel free to contact our Support team if you have any questions.

Woohoo! These are awesome. When I was adding some tags to Lead Forms, I noticed the “copy link” button appeared too… THANK YOU!!!! So much faster than having to open it or go into the Settings / Configure to copy that link. You guys rock.

Love the new home screen but is there a way that the tasks can be added to the home screen? I need to have them glaring at me right when I open the app up just like desktop😆

 

Thank you!

@Maria Bowers there’s not a way currently to customize that home page, but I bet you’re not alone in that request. If you add to the feature request list, our team can get better visibility into who might benefit from that :)

Thank you!

Is there a way to edit the “archive reasons” list? We have some duplicates and also ones that we never use so I’d like to remove them from the list so it’s not so long. Thank you!

Hey @Darci! Yes, it’s in the company settings, under preferences.
The article linked above will walk you through instructions as well.

Thank you for your response, however, I don’t see where I can remove reasons from the archive list. I’m guessing it’s supposed to be under “Data Management” and all I see are the following: 

Lead Sources

Project Fields

Contact Fields

Project Types

Tags

Spaces

 

I don’t see where I can remove choices from the archive list. Thank you in advance for your time @Mac H

Hey @Darci you’re totally right. I’m not seeing the option either! I’m following up with the product team on this one to get clarification. Thanks for your patience!

Hi Mac, just checking to see if you have any updates on this? Thank you! @Mac H 

ETA: I don’t even see now where I can add a new reason under archives now. ???

Thanks for following up on this. I don’t have the best answer for you: It looks like there's no way for you to delete a custom archive reason yourself - you’ll have to reach out to support in order to have your list adjusted at the moment, but they are able to do that for you!

The feedback has been given to the product team to allow for editing of these fields. 

Let me know if there’s anything else I can do to help. I’m sorry it’s not the ideal scenario, but I’m confident support can help in the meantime. Do you know how to get in touch with them?
