GrooveHQ Fixes Settings Dashboard Issues

GrooveHQ addressed several issues reported by users regarding their new settings dashboard. These issues affected various functionalities, including folders, rules, and email templates.

• The "My New & Open" folder displayed tickets for the last user who edited it in settings.
• Rules failed due to relying on numeric ID's instead of email addresses.
• Templates for automated email responses were saved with incorrect variable names.

Fortunately, GrooveHQ was able to fix the majority of these bugs within a few days, restoring smooth functionality.

HipChat Email Integration Enhanced

GrooveHQ's new HipChat app, now ranked #1 in their App Store, has been enhanced to allow users to choose whether or not to include ticket bodies in their HipChat email notifications.

The format for HTML emails has been updated to improve readability of email bodies.

Resolving the Folder Count Issue

GrooveHQ tackled the persistent folder count issue, a major source of user reports. The issue was traced back to a specific sequence of actions performed by two users, which was resolved by identifying and fixing the underlying code.

This fix was a significant accomplishment for GrooveHQ, as this bug had been a recurring problem for months.
