Managing subscriptions requires you to keep a pulse on your customer base to quickly react to events, especially failed payments. We all know that payments can fail due to expired cards or even outdated billable contacts causing missed refunds or invoicing errors. 

For our customers who are currently integrating their HubSpot environment, we are excited to announce that Timeline Events can now be viewed in the Contact or Deal record. This added visibility will enable your customer-facing teams to stay in the know of customer events, which can also help mitigate failed revenue mishaps during the subscription lifecycle.

The following Events are now shown through our native HubSpot integration: 

• Invoice Issued
• Payment Success
• Payment Failure
• Subscription State Change
• Subscription Product Change
• Expiring Card
• Component Allocation Change
• Upgrade/Downgrade Success
• Upgrade/Downgrade Failure
• Refund Success
• Refund Failure

At times you may be selling additional services and add-ons to your customers that are outside of their recurring subscriptions. With Chargify's ad-hoc invoice feature, you can easily create those additional charges with the option of backdating the creation date. 

We are happy to announce that we have added an intuitive date selector modal for how the Issue Date, Due Date, and Net Terms interact within the UI. You can now: 

• Enter dates directly by keeping Net Terms equal to 'Calculate from Dates' 
• Set Net Terms first (changing either date will dynamically change the other)

We know it's vital for your Support Teams to have information at their fingertips in order to quickly service your customers. Chargify's HubSpot integration lets you view subscription changes, payment and invoice history, usage and next billing dates, all within the Contact and Deal Record views. 

Adding to our native HubSpot integration, we are excited to announce an enhancement to viewing Invoice Details! Once the subscription is generated, the integration will provide a PCI compliant invoice link to collect payment from your contacts in addition to visibility for your customer-facing teams. 

The invoice details include: 

• Invoice ID 
• Status 
• Payment Collection Method
• Invoice Due Amount
• Invoice Paid Date
• Credits Used

These values will stay up-to-date in HubSpot's CRM extension and can help you streamline your revenue operations, support, and more.

We understand that some of your customers need to have multiple recipients of an invoice for increased visibility amongst teams. We are excited to announce that you now have the ability to specify additional recipients when sending invoices from the Admin UI. 

Prior to this update, clicking the 'Send Invoice' button would automatically send the invoice to the primary contact on the account. Now, the UI will prompt the user with a modal which will be pre-populated with the primary contact, and additional contacts can be added on the To:, CC:, and BCC: fields.

Subscription businesses are prone to failed customer payments from time to time. Having an effective dunning strategy can help prevent churn and is important in resolving customer's failed payments swiftly. Within Chargify, you have the flexibility in tailoring your communication approach, in addition to the pre-built templates, for your customers entering the dunning process.  

Today we are excited to announce a new feature added to our dunning functionality. Introducing mid-period component dunning! This new feature allows for failed mid-period component allocations payment to move a subscription into dunning. This allows your customer and team to be alerted to any issues with a mid-period allocation payment.

We are happy to introduce new customizable upcoming renewal options for these email communications. This new feature allows you to customize renewal email timing, in addition to specifying which product price points an email should be triggered on.
