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.

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.

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.

July 2019
Branded Email Templates

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.
