Season's greetings from the entire team at Chargify and SaaSOptics! As the holiday season is upon us, we would like to announce that Chargify and SaaSOptics will be observing a company-wide Winter Break from December 24th through December 31st. Standard hours of operation will resume on January 3, 2022. 

Our support team will be monitoring for urgent system availability issues only during this time. If you believe you will need to connect with a member of our customer success and support teams, please contact us before our winter break. 

We wish you a peaceful and prosperous New Year and look forward to serving you refreshed and renewed in 2022. 

Having access to stellar product documentation is key to how you and your teams gain the most out of using Chargify day-in and day-out. Finding answers quickly when questions arise enables autonomy to quickly troubleshoot, giving our users full control. 

Today, we are very excited to announce that we have given our Help Documentation a complete refresh! The new site was reorganized to display a cleaner look with updated content, allowing for a more intuitive browsing experience.

Integrating Chagify with thousands of the most popular applications is made possible through our Zapier Connector. Many of our customers today leverage Zapier to automate workflows with no code required, so your teams can focus on getting the most important work done. 

We are excited to announce that we have new supported actions that have similar behavior when updating a subscription using the Zapier Connector. Those new triggers are:

• expires_at
• next_billing_at
• Quantity Based Components 

These additional attributes will allow for further customization with your Zaps to enable streamlined operational processes. This is in early access stages, so anyone interested should contact their CSM or our support team (support@chargify.com) for an invitation to our 1.0.4 Zapier Connector. It will become generally available In the coming weeks.

Last week we announced that our native HubSpot integration is now listed on the HubSpot App Marketplace. For your customer-facing teams (Sales, Customer Success, Marketing and Support), this integration creates a whirlwind of efficiencies by providing them the features and functionality to easily manage subscriptions and gain insights from your Chargify data all within the tool they know the most: HubSpot. 

For sales managers who are using more than the 'Sales' pipeline in HubSpot, we understand that Deal pipelines help visualize your sales process to predict revenue and identify selling roadblocks. Our Product Team continues to enhance this integration to better serve your use cases and today we are excited to announce that we have extended the functionality to your HubSpot Custom Deal Pipelines.

An integrated tech stack built with your Salesforce CRM can provide a customized experience to your clients and prospects. The Chargify + Salesforce integration is a flexible one-stop-shop for your customer-facing teams to effectively serve your current and future client base.

New to our native integration is the ability to use Chargify's product catalog to add line items to a Salesforce Quote. When creating a quote in Salesforce, you can now use Chargify's wizard to create subscriptions that will be added to the quote. 

This new functionality allows users to create multiple subscriptions on a quote with products, components, and coupons. Once the deal is won, the subscription(s) will be created in Chargify.
