Slack Add-On v2.0 Release
By Gravity Forms
Published April 22, 2021
Gravity Forms is excited to announce an update to our Slack Add-On. This version contains a number of updates and fixes which, amongst other things, will help to ensure compatibility with Gravity Forms 2.5 when it lands next week.
Updates include:
- Added a mechanism to cache API requests for private group and channel lists for 1 hour to improve performance.
- Updated the feed settings screen to remove the “Invite to Team” action as it’s no longer supported by Slack for standard workspaces, and included a notice for existing feeds.
- Fixed an issue where the add-on icon is missing on the Form Settings page for Gravity Forms 2.5.
Gravity Forms 2.5 – Available Tuesday, 27th April!
As mentioned, a focus of this Slack Add-On update was compatibility with Gravity Forms 2.5, which will be available to all new and existing customers from Tuesday, 27th April. This is one of our most important releases (ever!) and we can’t wait for the Gravity Forms community to experience building forms with 2.5.
