0.28.0

A connect link asks one person for the sign-ins you need from them. They get a single link, sign in to each service on that service's own page, and no password ever passes through you. Almost everything around that has been rebuilt.

Connect links are now on Pro

They used to need the Scale plan. They are part of Pro from today, and the Links page is visible on every plan so you can see what it does before deciding.

The link no longer changes

Sending used to issue a new link and quietly kill the last one, so adding a service someone had missed broke the link already sitting in their inbox. A person's link is now fixed. Add or remove what you are asking for and they simply refresh the page they already have. You can read the link back from the dashboard whenever you need it, and Reset link is there for the one case where you do want to replace it.

Choose how long a link lasts

Every link used to expire 24 hours after it was sent, which is a password reset deadline applied to onboarding. Four of the first five links ever sent expired before the person finished. You now choose at the moment you send: one hour, one day, 7, 14 or 30 days, or never. Fourteen days is the default, and never asks you to confirm in writing.

If a link does expire, they can ask for a new one

The page behind a dead link used to say to ask whoever sent it, and stop. It now offers to send a fresh one, to the address the link was already for, lasting as long as the original. A link you revoked is never brought back this way.

Change what you are asking for

You can take a service off someone's list as well as add one. Removing it never disconnects anything they have already connected, it only stops asking for it.

Everyone can see the links they sent

Links used to be admin only, so most of your team could not open the page at all. Anyone can now see the links they sent and resend, replace or revoke them, and admins see every link in the workspace. Sending a new link still needs an admin, because a link also adds the person it goes to as a member of your account.

Sending says what it is about to do

Pick the person from your team rather than retyping their address, which is how a single typo used to create a second person. If they already have a link you are told before you pick them, and sent to their page rather than making a second one. If the address is new to your account, the dialog says plainly that sending will add them as a member.

The email and the page they land on now name the person and business making the request rather than the workspace. For an agency the workspace is the client's own name, so the page was telling clients they needed things from themselves.
