Catapult Connect Update - Language Translation, Alerts & Security

This update improves translated absence codes, adds scheduling for low lunch balance alerts, fixes import issues, and enhances URL security.

Release Notes:

  • Language Translation for Absence Codes
    Attendance alerts now fully support language translation, including absence codes (e.g., "Absent," "Tardy"). Previously, these codes appeared only in English, but with this update, they will be translated to match the alert language, improving clarity and accessibility for non-English-speaking recipients.

  • Low Lunch Balance Message - Initial Message Day Setting
    To help schools manage the timing of low lunch balance alerts, we've introduced an "Initial Message Day" setting. This option allows users to schedule the first reminder to be sent on a specific day of the week, making it easier to establish consistent communication routines.

  • Bug Fix: Improved Handling of Escaped Fields in Data Imports
    We’ve resolved an issue with the handling of escaped fields during data imports, particularly for names containing commas. With this update, names and other fields are correctly imported even when special characters are included.

  • Security Improvement: Stricter Rules for URL Forwarding
    To enhance security, we’ve implemented stricter URL forwarding rules to reduce the risk of phishing attacks. This improvement helps safeguard the links users receive from Catapult Connect, promoting a safer communication environment.
