Release v5.17.19

Goals & Goal Import

  • Importing goals from a file now shows you the plan — goal count, time period, ownership — before anything is created, and waits for your confirmation before writing a single goal.
  • Fixed several issues where a goal import could stall partway through, silently drop a follow-up question, or misplace goals when the target time period already existed.
  • The import status bar and "View goals" link are now more reliable: the bar no longer claims you have unanswered questions when you don't, and "View goals" always jumps to where your new goals actually landed.
  • Goal views now suggest filters to try when your current filters turn up nothing, showing how many goals each suggestion would surface.
  • Bulk-deleting goals that share a subgoal now reliably removes the subgoal too, instead of occasionally leaving it behind.
  • Adding or removing someone from a team now immediately updates which shared private goals they can see.
  • Fixed a status-conflict warning that could show the wrong person's name as the author of an earlier check-in.

AI Assistant

  • Assistant-created teams and goal updates, and connected integrations, now appear immediately without needing to reload the page.
  • If your connection drops mid-message, the assistant now checks in instead of silently retrying and risking a duplicate action.
  • Starting a task that needs an integration you haven't connected yet now shows a card that takes you straight to Integrations settings.
  • Dropping a file onto the collapsed assistant button now tells you to open the assistant first, instead of appearing to do nothing; dropping a large image no longer accidentally navigates your browser tab away.
  • Fixed a doubled "…" in the assistant's thinking indicator, and a few message-formatting glitches during goal import conversations.
  • Your open conversation with the assistant, including any goals it just created, now survives a page reload.
  • Slack coworker: fixed missing welcome messages after reconnecting, improved how it tracks which message an acknowledgment belongs to, and improved how it follows up on short replies like "okay" in context.

Integrations

  • The Cadences page now shows a health-metrics preview and lets you connect your Google or Outlook calendar directly, without a detour through Settings.
  • Google Sheet picker now explains clearly why a sheet can't be selected, instead of showing a raw technical error.
  • Every integration marked "Coming Soon" or "Contact us" can now be requested directly with a Request access button.
  • HRIS integration cards (ADP, Bamboo HR, Rippling, Workday) now describe what each integration actually does.
  • You can now push your edits on an artifact back into the template it was created from, so the template stays current.

Settings

  • The Members page now has an All tab showing every member regardless of status.
  • Settings preview images load in about a second instead of several, with no blank flash.
  • Fixed a bug where the Settings sidebar jumped back to the top when clicking a lower menu item.
  • Cleaned up wording across Profile settings and the Slack disconnect dialog for clarity and consistency.
