One website. More ways to grow.

Connect your runsonUpendo website to Zoho CRM and keep Website Membership information up to date.

We are excited to announce the new Zoho CRM Connector for runsonUpendo.

You can now connect your website to Zoho CRM and share Website Membership information with matching Leads and Contacts. This can help your team spend less time copying customer information by hand.

The connector can help you:

• Connect your website to Zoho CRM.
• Test the connection.
• Check whether Zoho is ready for Website Membership information.
• Add the needed Website Membership fields when Zoho allows it.
• Keep matching Leads and Contacts updated on a schedule.
• Review the results of scheduled updates.

The connector matches people by email address. It checks both the Zoho Email and Secondary Email fields.

To get started, you will need access to your Zoho account and website settings. A Zoho administrator may need to help provide the connection details.

Want to use a different CRM? Need to connect your CRM in a different way? Just let us know. We would be happy to learn more about what your business needs.

runsonUpendo can now respond more reliably to important website activity, creating a stronger foundation for future automation, integrations, reporting, and personalized experiences.

We added a powerful new event foundation behind the scenes. It allows runsonUpendo features to safely recognize important website activity-such as account changes, page updates, file activity, role changes, and community interactions-at the moment it happens.

This foundation does not automatically change your current workflows. Instead, it gives Upendo a dependable way to build smarter solutions when a client need calls for them.

• More opportunities for helpful automation: Future features can respond to real website activity, such as beginning an onboarding process after approval or refreshing connected information after a profile update.
• Better-connected tools: Website events can support future integrations with directories, reporting, search, customer records, notifications, and other approved services.
• Safer feature growth: Each response is isolated so one feature problem is less likely to interrupt other event-based features.
• More predictable results: Event responses run in a stable order, helping future workflows behave consistently.
• Broader possibilities: The system can recognize 51 kinds of activity across pages, modules, users, roles, profiles, files, folders, websites, and social relationships.

This is the kind of investment that keeps a runsonUpendo website ready for what comes next. As your business grows, your website has a stronger foundation for smarter workflows and more valuable digital experiences-without rebuilding from the ground up.

Expanded attendance, visitor, and reporting tools now help networking leaders manage meetings faster, follow each visitor more clearly, and recognize the members driving growth.

The Networking Suite now gives leaders a clearer path from a visitor's first arrival to meaningful follow-up, accurate recognition, and long-term participation.

• Add visitors without leaving attendance: Choose a saved visitor or create a new record directly from the meeting roster.
• Connect every introduction: Assign a visitor to an eligible member so the relationship can be recognized in reporting.
• See the right people faster: Sort rosters by name, company, arrival order, or recent activity, with profile photos and helpful initials.
• Follow up as a group: Authorized leaders can start an email to the roster while the system removes duplicate addresses and skips invalid entries.
• Manage the full visitor journey: Review current, prior, converted, and inactive visitors, open records quickly, and preserve important first-visit information.
• Recognize growth leaders: Visitor totals and leaderboards now use saved attribution data to show who is helping bring new people into the organization.

Better records are valuable, but better relationships are the real goal. These tools help your team follow through while the opportunity is fresh, celebrate the members creating momentum, and turn more first visits into lasting connections.

A new image gallery viewer is available to turn approved photos into polished, engaging galleries throughout your website.

Your website can now do more with one of your strongest marketing assets: authentic images of your people, products, services, projects, and community.

The new Upendo Image Gallery Viewer works with the Upendo Image Gallery Manager to display organized photo collections through flexible website templates.

• Build trust through real examples: Show prospective customers what your organization does instead of only telling them.
• Bring important stories to life: Highlight completed work, events, teams, products, locations, or community impact.
• Reuse managed images confidently: Turn approved gallery content into professional website experiences.
• Prepare for future growth: The gallery has its own settings and templates, giving Upendo a flexible foundation for different website needs.

If you would like to explore where a gallery could add the most value on your website, contact Upendo. We would be happy to help you identify the best opportunity.

Networking leaders can move through meetings, review attendance, and manage recent visitors with fewer steps and clearer information.

We improved the Networking Activity Management experience so leaders can spend less time managing records and more time strengthening member relationships.

• Work with meetings faster: Clearer status badges make meeting information easier to scan, and double-clicking a meeting opens it for editing.
• Avoid scheduling mistakes: Meeting start and end times now work together more intelligently while a meeting is being edited.
• Review attendance your way: Leaders can filter a meeting roster by attendance type to focus on the people who need attention.
• Keep visitors moving forward: Recent visitors are easier to find, and new visitors can be connected to the member who invited or referred them.

These improvements make every meeting easier to run and every visitor easier to follow up with-two important steps toward stronger participation, better relationships, and a more valuable networking program.

Hotcakes Commerce 03.12.01 removes unwanted /slug values from store URLs and adds diagnostic logging to help resolve URL issues faster.

Hotcakes Commerce 03.12.01 resolved a long-standing issue where DNN SEO settings could insert an unwanted /slug value into storefront URLs.

• Cleaner customer-facing links: Store URLs are less likely to include an unnecessary technical path segment.
• Stronger search foundations: Clear and consistent URLs help search engines understand and revisit storefront pages more reliably.
• Faster issue resolution: Optional diagnostic details can now be written to the local system log when Upendo needs to investigate URL behavior.
• More reliable store context: The platform can find and create the correct store context when it is not already available.

Cleaner URLs improve the experience customers see, while better diagnostics help Upendo solve unusual routing problems with more speed and confidence.

Hotcakes Commerce 03.12.00 introduced a clean Bootstrap 5 viewset that gives stores a modern foundation for responsive storefront design.

A new Bootstrap 5 viewset is now available for Hotcakes Commerce storefronts.

• Modern responsive foundation: Bootstrap 5 supports storefront experiences designed for today's phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops.
• More design flexibility: The viewset gives Upendo a cleaner starting point for custom commerce experiences.
• Better preparation for future design work: Stores can move toward a more current front-end framework without rebuilding commerce functionality from scratch.

The new viewset is an available implementation option and is not automatically applied to existing storefronts. If you are planning a redesign or want to modernize the shopping experience, talk with Upendo about whether Bootstrap 5 is the right fit.

Store search received performance improvements, while marketing pixels now load asynchronously to reduce their impact on the customer experience.

Hotcakes Commerce 03.12.00 improved two areas that can directly influence how quickly shoppers find products and move through the storefront.

• Faster product discovery: Performance work across the search feature helps customers reach relevant products more efficiently.
• Less intrusive tracking: Marketing pixels now load asynchronously, allowing the page to continue loading without waiting for every tracking request to finish.

When customers can find products quickly and pages feel responsive, they have fewer reasons to abandon the journey before reaching checkout.

Category sharing metadata now uses complete image URLs, helping social platforms and other services find the intended category image.

Hotcakes Commerce 03.12.00 corrected the Open Graph image information used by product category pages.

Instead of providing only an image filename, category pages now provide the complete image URL. This gives social networks and other services a clearer path to the intended image when a category link is shared.

Better sharing previews can make product links look more polished, trustworthy, and inviting when customers or team members promote them online.

Company logos now appear in networking activity views, helping members recognize businesses faster and connect each interaction with the right brand.

Networking activity is more visual and easier to understand. When a business has a logo in the Business Directory, that branding can now carry into the Networking Viewer.

• Recognize businesses faster: Members can connect activity with familiar company branding at a glance.
• Create a more polished experience: Business identities appear more consistently across directory and networking tools.
• Give member companies more visibility: Every appearance can reinforce the organizations contributing to your network.

This update brings the Business Directory and Networking Suite even closer together, helping your website feel like one connected platform instead of a collection of separate tools.

Hotcakes Commerce 03.11.00 added broad safeguards and performance improvements across promotions, coupons, discounts, orders, payments, store resolution, and administration.

Hotcakes Commerce 03.11.00 focused on making everyday commerce workflows more resilient when data is missing, incomplete, or unexpected.

• More dependable promotions: Promotion rules, qualifications, and actions now handle invalid dates, missing records, malformed data, and unknown action types more safely.
• Safer coupons and discounts: Coupon validation and shipping-discount processing received stronger safeguards.
• More reliable orders and payments: Order updates, transaction lookups, and payment identifiers are handled more carefully.
• Stronger store resolution: Missing request context, invalid URLs, blank host values, and unavailable stores are less likely to cause unhandled errors.
• Faster processing: The update reduces avoidable database work, improves promotion paging, optimizes volume-discount repricing, and avoids unnecessary order updates.
• Safer administration: Promotion editors behave more predictably when a qualification or action cannot be loaded.

The result is a store that is better prepared to keep selling even when real-world data is not perfectly clean. That means fewer interruptions for administrators and a more dependable buying experience for customers.

Inactive company pages now respond faster, and private page support is stronger.

Visitors receive a clear response sooner when a company page is no longer active. Private pages also work more smoothly, giving site owners better control over what information is shared.

Fixed issues with creating meetings and connecting attendance to networking activity.

Networking managers can now create meetings and track attendance with greater confidence. This keeps records more accurate and gives organizations a clearer view of member engagement.

Networking reports now include follow-up actions across all activity forms.

Users can see what needs attention after networking activity is recorded. These follow-up actions help teams keep conversations moving, close the loop, and get more value from every connection.

Resolved an installation and upgrade issue for sites that do not use LiveForms.

The Form Submission Viewer now installs and upgrades more reliably across different site setups. This helps teams manage form data with fewer technical hurdles.
