Salsa Weekly Highlight: Updates for Thank-You Pages

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.

To welcome you back from Memorial Day weekend, we've rolled out a user interface update to another one of our "Website Management" features: Thank-You Pages.

You should see this upgrade in your Website Management tab immediately. (No need to install anything; it's automatic.)

Thank-You Pages

Though you could put a "thank-you" message on any page, Salsa Thank-You Pages let you fold one of your Tell-A-Friends in with customized thank-you content.

Because you can keep re-using a Tell-A-Friend with different Thank-You Pages, they're very handy for building context-specific acknowledgments for use as redirect paths without having to reinvent the wheel every time.

The Thank-You Pages feature set is not changing ... only the headquarters interface for creating and editing them. Just use the simple two-tabbed interface to compose your specific thank-you message, then optionally select a Tell-A-Friend to include with it.

Hey, this isn't new!

As with the other Website Management deployments over the past month, this upgrade actually standardizes the Thank-You Pages tool across all Salsa installations. So if this doesn't look new to you, it's probably because your configuration has already been using the most up-to-date version. Never fear: you're not missing out on anything!

We're still wrapping up a few more updates to other Website Management tools. You should be seeing them soon.

And as always, we're eager to hear your feedback on these (or any other) Salsa features.

P.S. -- Don't forget to join us in Washington, D.C. later this month for the 2010 Salsa Community Conference!
