Weekly Update #9 – Security!

Hello, everyone. I know we usually post our company updates on Friday, but we’re rolling out something special over the weekend that we felt deserved a post of its own. Be sure to follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and/or LinkedIn so you never miss another post.

Security is key at Haulix, and we have an important update on that topic to with you this afternoon. In the coming days we will be pushing out a new security feature that will prevent damage as a result of contacts sharing their invitation links. All other layers of Haulix security will remain unchanged.  This is just another barrier to tighten up security and prevent leaking.

So, what is happening?

Good question. Currently, when a contact views a promo they can click on “Available Promos” in the upper right corner of the screen. This button allows them to view all the promos they have been sent from Haulix customers.

When this new feature goes live, contacts who click this button will be prompted to enter a 4-digit passcode.  If they don’t have one or forget it, that’s okay. We’ve made it easy for contacts to create a new passcode (and it only takes a minute).  This feature is for people in customer contact lists only.  No action is required by Haulix customers.

Just to be clear – Promo pages from email invitation will not be passcode protected. Contacts are only prompted to enter their 4-digit code when attempting to view all of their promos through Haulix.

Our plan is to roll out this feature over the weekend. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to email james@haulix.com and share your thoughts.
