Midway changelog: new features and fixes.

Quieter inboxes, longer chats.

• Online status and typing indicators can each be switched off from the General tab. With online status off, members see no status at all.
• Load older messages: long chats now go all the way back, 50 messages at a time.
• Search inside any chat: the search icon in a chat's header finds messages in that chat by word. The icon by the inbox title still searches every chat, and results now show the newest matches first. The box above the chat list is now labelled “Search by name”, since that's what it filters.
• Free plan: there's a small buffer past the monthly active member limit. Beyond that, new members that month see a “Messaging is paused” message until the 1st, while everyone already chatting carries on.
• Typing indicators and live updates now work in chats that start while the inbox is open, without a reload.

Translations, and what each plan includes.

• Translations (Studio plan): write the inbox in your members' languages from the project's Translations tab. Start from Midway's French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Italian or Dutch and edit anything. The inbox follows the language of the page it's on.
• Image and file sharing is now part of the Starter plan, and voice messages part of the Studio plan. The Studio plan includes every Midway feature.

Delete your account.

• Delete your account from Account, Security. It cancels your paid plan, deletes every project, member, chat and file, removes your login, and emails a confirmation.

Email alerts.

• Unread message alerts: members get an email about messages and chat requests they haven't seen, batched into one email and at most one an hour. Off until the owner turns it on, with an unsubscribe link in every email.
• Owner alerts: an email when member sync gets paused after repeated failures, and when a project nears or reaches its monthly member limit.
• Weekly summary: a Monday email to owners with last week's messages, chats and new members.
• Confirmed deal receipts (Studio plan): both people get an email with the other's contact details when a deal is confirmed.
• Member sync now reads every page of large Memberstack rosters.

Profile page chat, optional chat requests, and Confirm a deal.

Midway now fits marketplaces and directories, where members contact someone from their profile or listing page.

• One-on-one chat from profile pages: the inbox opens a conversation with the person whose page you're on. Turn it on from the General tab and copy the ready-made snippet from the Embed tab.
• Chat requests are now a setting. Leave them on, or turn them off so members can message each other straight away. You can also hide the Members tab, so people only reach each other from profile pages.
• Confirm a deal (Studio plan): one person sends it, the other accepts, and only then are their contact details shared. You choose whether either person can send it or only the one who was messaged. Each step shows up as a line in the chat, so the other person is notified. Until then, phone numbers, emails and WhatsApp links typed into the chat are hidden.
• The pricing page now shows the member limit on each plan.

Scheduled member sync.

• Sync your Memberstack roster daily, weekly or monthly, at a time you pick in your own timezone.
• Dashboard accounts now verify their email before first use.
