Daily Breakdown Chart

June 2020
Campaign sorting
The active/recovered/lost campaign lists are now easier to scan and more useful for spotting campaigns nearing completion at a glance.
- The Active Campaigns page now sorts by campaign end date (ending soonest) rather than start date (started most recently). All campaign list pages now show the time of day if the campaign ended or will end today, and the date instead of the time if not today. Hovering shows the full date and time in your local timezone.
New recovery rate modal
The Dashboard now includes a link ("What impacts Recovery Rate?") that presents factors contributing to the natural variance observed in recovery rate metrics.
May 2020
SMS nudge
Send your customers a text message when emails aren't getting through — so no customer gets left behind.
- Specific customer opt-in isn't required, and high-quality responses are relayed to your support team via email.
- Premium feature: $50/mo add-on for standard plans. Included at no additional cost with Pro accounts.
- Contact support@churnbuster.io to add SMS to your campaign.
Translatable Capture pages
Card update pages can be translated into any language. And if there's a problem, let customers know right away — with translated error messages.

Enhanced campaign functionality (Stripe)

Campaign exports sent to email
Campaign exports are now sent as an email to eliminate waiting on the page and to more easily share the export file with teammates.

Badge for Retry Recoveries

Improved Handling of Rescheduled Order Dates (ReCharge)
Rescheduling an order date in ReCharge automatically stops the past-due customer's campaign so they are contacted only when appropriate. Learn more >
Surfaced Cancellation Setting
The campaign schedule now shows whether or not you have the cancellation account setting activated or not (for Stripe integration).
- This setting allows Churn Buster to cancel subscriptions if your customers reach the end of a campaign without a successful recovery.

Capture Error Messages (Stripe)
Your customers receive more detailed and accurate reporting from Stripe when Capture page submissions fail.

Expanded Integrations (Slack, Zapier, and Webhook)
Churn Buster expanded its Slack, Zapier, and Webhook integrations to include new campaign events: Campaign Lost, Campaign Recovered, and Campaign Started.
Customer Email Address on Capture Forms
Customers recognize the capture form is uniquely-generated for them by having the customer's email address listed at the bottom of the form, leading to increased trust and conversion.
July 2019
Branded Email Templates
Give your emails a professional, stylized look with the click of a button.
Retry Stats Box
New stats box on the Campaign page adds more visibility into this unique Churn Buster focus: retry wins.
On average, 21% of payments can be recovered through retries that happen before the first email is even sent. This is extremely beneficial because it means you can recover tons of payments without ever bothering your customer—better customer experience, fewer support demands, and lower cancellation risk.
June 2019
At-Risk Button
The new at-risk filter on the Active Campaigns list gives visibility into customers that you haven't been able to reach.
