Connection Enhancements:
New API Infrastructure:
The latest API infrastructure has been deployed for all users to enhance API performance and availability. This marks the start of the new API version (V4) development, scheduled for release in the second half of this year.
The final phase of the infrastructure upgrade begun last summer is now underway, focusing on data updates. A new update method, including a non-blocking queue system, is being developed to ensure that slow networks do not hinder the update process for other networks.
Dashboard UI Refresh:
A beta version of our UI/UX refresh is now available for testing during April before its official release in May. This update comes after a new product designer joined our team. Work continues on improving the responsive design, but the full range of features is already available for testing.
Feedback, bug reports, or comments regarding the beta are welcome. Please contact us with any inquiries.

NewHere are the latest updates for February:
Invoice Emails:
When you received an email containing an invoice, it previously included a Stripe link with a limited lifespan for downloading your invoice. We've now added the invoice as an attachment, allowing you to save the invoices directly within your email client or automate their management with your accounting software.
Inquiry Manager:
We have updated the Effiliation connector to comply with the new specifications of the claims file.
Bug Fix - Date Picker:
We have finally resolved the annoying bug in the date picker, which occasionally selected a date earlier than the one chosen.
New API Infrastructure:
The new API infrastructure has been under testing for the past two weeks. It has not yet been deployed to the API URL but is currently being tested on the dashboard for displaying your data. As a reminder, the new infrastructure is expected to provide improved availability and performance, with up to 30% faster response times.

NewHere’s to a Prosperous New Year for Us All! 🎉
2023 Summary
In 2023, we continued to enhance our support for affiliate networks, surpassing the milestone of connecting over 200 affiliate networks and independent programs to Strackr.
To improve our service, we had to entirely reimagine our dashboard. This led us to start from scratch, creating a new, easily scalable dashboard. This development was led by a new addition to our team, Jonathan.
In addition, we focused on future improvements and service availability by changing our database engine. This important behind-the-scenes work, which took several months, is now effectively in production.
What’s Next?
While we love to surprise you with our updates, we are thrilled to give you a sneak peek at what's coming in 2024.
Design Refresh
We are working with a new designer who is preparing a refreshing update to our design. This overhaul aims to improve user experience and accessibility, and you can look forward to its launch in the first quarter.
Alerts Feature
Get ready to automate the tracking of your statistics with our new alerts feature. You will soon be able to receive customized alerts and reports via email, Slack, or directly on the Dashboard. This feature is set to debut alongside the design refresh.
Module Inquiry Manager
We remain deeply dedicated to enhancing the module designed for managing inquiries from your cashback users.
Infrastructure Update and API V4
Our ongoing efforts to upgrade Strackr's infrastructure are entering a new phase. We are in the process of updating our API infrastructure to improve availability and response speed. Additionally, we started testing a new version of the Strackr API, based on a new stack, which will be faster and offer essential features like pagination and compiled statistics. Expect API V4 to be released in the second half of 2024.
Conclusion
There are more features and updates in the pipeline. We'll share more details with you when the time is right. For now, we wish you a fantastic start to the new year.

ImprovementTransaction Statuses:
We've noticed that for some networks like Rakuten and CJ, when a transaction is declined, the revenue defaults to 0. This results in an inaccurate revenue-based ratio, as declined transactions will always show 0 revenue.
To address this, we have introduced a new column and filter based on the number of transactions:
Network Connections:
Several improvements have been made to network connections:
New Filters:
Two new filters have been added to the transaction report page: Transaction ID and Order ID.
Happy Holidays
We wish you and your teams a joyful holiday season, and here's to many more shared successes in 2024!

Improved Lead Alliance Platform Connection: We've updated our connection with the Lead Alliance platform, providing access to clicks, channels, and the link builder.

Inquiry Manager Module Guides: We've made the Inquiry Manager module guides available.
Improved Booking.com Data Update Logic: We've made an update to the data refresh logic for the Booking.com connection.
